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.
