Product principles
What guides the work
User-triggered assistance
Camera, voice, and AI actions should begin because the user requested them—not as invisible background capture.
Nonvisual usefulness
Answers should emphasize practical text, relative position, landmarks, and clear controls that do not depend on sight.
Proportional claims
Working features, development milestones, and design ideas are separated. Uncertainty and safety boundaries remain visible.
Development-stage notice: Access AI is not a navigation, emergency, medical, legal, financial, or safety system. Important information should be verified independently.
