Speak naturally
Frank listens for a request, recognises when you have finished and answers through spoken audio.
Join testing // Meet Frank
One assistant for the context around you.
Frank is a working, voice-first Android prototype built primarily for blind and low-vision people. It combines conversation, memory, location context and camera input only when a question genuinely requires sight.

// What works today
A complete interaction—not a collection of demos.
Frank already connects the phone microphone, camera, speaker and haptics to one reasoning system. These capabilities are being hardened for controlled testing.
Read and describe
For visual tasks, Frank captures a current image to read text or explain useful details in a scene.
Use context first
Typed location, movement, journey and device context can help Frank answer without assuming the camera is needed.
Keep the conversation going
After Frank answers, you can ask a natural follow-up without reopening the app or repeating the situation.
Remember on purpose
Frank can save and recall useful places, preferences and facts. Memory is distinct from ordinary conversation history.
Say when it cannot know
Poor or stale visual context should trigger a recapture or an honest limitation—not an invented answer.
// The central idea
Context before camera.
The phone is the product baseline—not merely a processor for mandatory glasses. Frank can use approved location, journey, movement, device, conversation and memory signals to understand enough of the situation before deciding it needs a fresh image.
That keeps visual capture intentional, lowers the cost of access and makes Frank useful from a pocket. Optional glasses or wearable cameras may return later as convenient interfaces, never as a requirement.
// What Frank is not
Helpful information with clear boundaries.
Frank is not a certified mobility aid, collision-avoidance system, traffic-signal authority, medical device or substitute for a cane, guide dog, trained support or emergency services. It must never declare a road safe to cross from maps, GPS or a general camera model.
// Focus first
Earn trust here, then expand carefully.
Frank begins with visual accessibility. Future capability paths for deaf and hard-of-hearing people, autistic and other neurodivergent people, and other access needs will be co-designed and validated separately—not added as vague promises.
