In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, AI Guided is proving to be a pioneer, shaping the future for people with visual impairments. The founders were motivated by watching visually impaired people navigate using canes and relying on the shoulders of others. Recognizing a significant gap in accessible and user-friendly AI solutions, they committed to addressing this need and improving lives.

Inspired by this commitment, AI Guided introduces GUIDI - a revolutionary AI-powered navigation companion designed to improve the autonomy of visually impaired people. GUIDI uses advanced AI technology to scan the environment and guide the user through directional vibrations on obstacle-free paths.

Mission

AI Guided's mission is to build the AI Guiding Ecosystem for the world. By integrating AI and innovative technologies, the company aims to create a global ecosystem that promotes inclusion, independence and well-being for people with visual impairments.
