Right now, technology still requires us to know how every app works. For many people, even simple tasks can become frustrating, time-consuming, or impossible without someone else’s help.
AppGenie changes that. It is a mobile AI companion that listens, understands, and operates your phone on your behalf, just like that patient friend or family member you turn to for help with technology.
Whether you’re shopping for groceries, getting directions, or completing everyday tasks in supported apps, AppGenie helps handle the steps while keeping you informed and in control, so you can do more independently.
Simply say what you want, like “I want milk from Safeway.” AppGenie finds the store, searches for the product, asks questions when needed, and helps add your choice to the cart. Instead of learning every step in the app, you focus on what you want to accomplish.
We’re building AppGenie for and with blind and low-vision people, who experience these challenges most acutely. Complex apps and content-heavy screens can make everyday tasks difficult or even impossible. With a screen reader, users often have to go through information one element at a time while trying to keep the whole screen in mind. In our conversations with people across the community, one thing that stood out was how difficult everyday tasks like grocery shopping can be. What takes sighted shoppers minutes can take blind shoppers hours, if possible at all.
Today, AppGenie supports selected tasks in a few apps across categories like grocery shopping, transportation, entertainment, and visual assistance. Behind it is an agentic AI platform built around a domain-specific language, allowing us to add detailed support for new apps in hours, guided by what users tell us they need most.
