They are at a desk with a computer keyboard and mouse in front of them, and both are facing slightly toward each other as if discussing something on the computer.

Always There” with Quick Keyboard Access

Workplace runs in the background and integrates seamlessly into the workflow. Employees log in with their corporate single sign-on, and the app stays ready in the system tray. Whenever help is needed, with just a few keystrokes, the user can instantly describe on-screen content or interpret a document without leaving their current application.

AI Trained on Blind Users’ Needs

At the heart of Be My Eyes Workplace is an AI-powered virtual assistant Workplace AI. While mainstream AI like ChatGPT or Microsoft’s Copilot can answer general questions, our AI is specialized for accessibility and has been fine-tuned with knowledge from 3+ years of interactions and tens of millions of visual assistance requests by blind users. The result is an assistant that understands the context of what blind users typically ask and the level of detail they need.

Quick Access to Trusted Colleagues

Sometimes AI isn’t enough, or a situation truly requires human judgment (for instance, identifying a mysterious software error or getting guidance through a complicated multi-step process). BME Workplace addresses this through Workplace Connect, which lets the user initiate a one-click video call to a colleague or professionally trained third-party source.

Companies can simply set up a group of sighted assistants who can be reached through the app. With a single keystroke, an employee can share their screen and audio with this trusted group, and the first available person can jump in to assist. This group call routing means the user doesn’t have to individually call around for help; the system will notify the group and connect to whoever is free, ensuring help is timely.

All of these features are designed to work in harmony with existing AT, not in competition. And, by providing on-demand AI descriptions and a direct line to human assistance, Workplace conveniently fills the gaps that traditional AT can’t always bridge – all without replacing those foundational tools.
