Looking for test users for AI-Powered Voice Assistant that empowers computer control for the visually impaired

Hi,

I just signed up for it. I cannot wait to test it out. question: how does this compare to existing features such as siri and voice control? and can you check for updates in future as soon as it's released?

cool! cannot wait to test it out. Is it always going to be free? and will there be a check for updates option in the help menu?

Nice! and the subscription is optional, right? also, are there sound notifications to let you know it herd your commands just like siri?

You mentioned that it can be used to press buttons, can it also be used for clicking on links such as opening a link to a zoom meeting? say, click on OK, when the "this meeting is being recorded" dialog box pops up? another example, lets say that you are composing a message in the messages app, can you say "click on record audio," and it clicks on the button, and when you're done recording your audio message, instead of hunting for the stop button, can you say, "click stop" and it'll stop recording? if yes, I could use it in situations like this.

I forgot to ask, I know I have signed up to get access to the app, but is there a website to download the app directly?

Yes I did. I applyed on website.

Is there a youtube channel with demos? I would love to hear demos if any.

No problem. Cannot wait to test app. also, is there help available if you ever get stuck?

I assume you already know that voiceover exists?

At the moment it sounds like you're trying to create a screen reader but through voice.

I'd recommend also adding a text to nexy option that way if you don't want to talk, or can't for some reason, you could stil use all the functions.

Hi. I’ve signed up, but unfortunately don’t have a Mac. Could I still be added to the list so that I can test if/when a Windows version comes out? Also, if I do make it into the first 10 users and as you said that the subscription will be free forever for those users would I be able to get it for free on windows? If not, that’s perfectly alright.

does it have windows pc version?

To test it out if the dev has any plans of coming up with a windows version...

Does it support Intel Macs? And do I need to "guide" it through each step - example Press send on the mail interface to send the message or can I just say something like "Send an email to x with subject test and write this is a test?"

It's not for me but others seam to enjoy it. You can get a month free trial I believe: https://www.guideinteraction.com/

Yes you can read about Guide and discuss it on our Windows forum here:

Hi @Seregawpn. Can you comment at all about privacy and security? With an app like this you are giving over a lot of control and access to your Mac, so trust in the privacy and security is naturally very important.
Many thanks,
Dave

Hey there,
I'm hopeful I can get a slot. I signed up yesterday afternoon.
I have some really interesting and different use cases I want to test out, I won't go into detail until I have the chance too, but I feel like if successful, it could be a game changer.

I won't take the link down but will look next time for a link before posting.

Like civilization let’s say?

Just signed up. I'm an iOS and macOS developer as well and work with AI so hopefully can provide some useful feedback and suggestions.

the OP hasn't responded in a couple days, I've not put my email in this website and would advise others to stay away until this person responds.

Shiny toys are cool, but when there's not responses from the devs of those shiny new toys, I get quite wary.

Thanks for letting us know.

Sorry for the reply before, it's just you seamed very quick to answer, it never crossed my mind that you had testers to see to first.

I'm looking forward to checking out a video or two.

Greetings and salutations, I signed up via the link provided, and I haven’t heard anything back. It’s probably been a couple days, so I don’t know how this is supposed to work, or how you’re in the queue to get selected. Just thought I’d put it out there.

Awesome!

This thread is giving me vibes of a thread from some time ago where its original poster was asking people to fill in a form with personal information to join some kind of group conversation on the subject of accessibility with Apple representatives. Nothing ended up coming out of it, and I suspect that the thread was actually deleted since I can't find it in my post history. The fact that the original poster here is now deflecting and deferring responses after being very quick to reply in the beginning, coupled with the fact that they haven't even addressed the privacy question raised by an earlier commenter, makes the whole thing feel rather fishy.

Also, and excuse my negativity, but I think that, if this project actually exists, in its current form it's just a gimmick to attract investment by surfing the AI hype. As a blind Mac power user I don't think there's much that an AI agent can offer me in terms of accessibility. I do not deny that navigating inaccessible content would help a lot, but being relegated to the passenger's seat when it comes to controlling my own computer is not something that I will give up on easily. There's a lot that AI can do not only for us but for humanity in general, and I do work for a company whose founders have been impressing me with lots of good ideas that I and others have been realizing into an actual product, but fortunately, agentic crap does not seem to be on their plans.

If this project really exists and pursues a serious objective, my recommendation is to focus on how to assist us doing things rather than on how to do things for us, by dropping the agentic crap and focusing into improving the situation with poorly accessible or totally inaccessible content. Even if there was a zero percent chance of the AI hallucinating, and even if it could somehow read my mind and make sense of my ambiguous prompts, I would still prefer to retain control since it's almost always more efficient.
