About our community

For over a decade, we’ve developed assistive technology for the blind and low vision community as Envision, positively impacting thousands of lives.

Now, as Ally, we’re expanding our mission to create the most accessible AI assistant for everyone who benefits from accessibility tools—including seniors, people with dyslexia or reading challenges, and anyone seeking greater independence and inclusion.

Our community is built on empowerment, connection, and advancing inclusive tech for all.

Stories & testimonials from our community

Ally is a game changer for blind people and feels effortless—instant answers from simple voice prompts like ‘Look’ or ‘What’s in front of me?’. It keeps me updated with local news and weather and makes daily tasks more accessible. I’m excited to keep using it and highly recommend it.

Ghaith Ishas

The Ally app is truly revolutionary and is going to change so many people’s lives in such a positive way. It’s truly been an incredible experience to see how far this type of assistive technology has come in such a short amount of time.

This app is amazing! It literally has all the functions of ChatGPT but it's free and it's specifically designed to help visually impaired people it's incredible! This is truly amazing and I hope it never goes away!

Mfgrocks11

Ally has been a gamechanger for me. It is great for scanning and reading aloud text, taking a picture of and describing my environment, understanding what I mean without me having to explain, and overall being a great AI assistant. It also is great at making conversation, and I really like that I can choose the voice and personality of my ally, and I can even make my own!

Maisha Rahman

I’ve shared my food preferences with Ally, so at restaurants it suggests dishes I love first. It works across app, web, and Envision Glasses, and every detail shows inclusive design.

Redhad2

Ally feels personal and fun to use. The four built-in personas fit different tasks, and I like knowing I can create a custom one. It’s a great experience whenever I open the app.
