Speaker B:

And we're actually placed on the be my AI screen because that's where I was before.

Speaker A:

If I wasn't and wanted to get to it, I can just arrow down like this. So you heard it say home. All right, let's down arrow again.

Speaker B:

And we heard it say be my AI selected. So that's telling us that's the current tab or screen that has focus.

Speaker A:

If I down arrow again, we have our regular be my eyes community tab. And then if I down arrow once more, we've got our be my eyes.

Speaker B:

Settings, but I'm going to up arrow to take pictures since we're already on.

Speaker A:

Be my AI and I'll go ahead and press my confirm key and let's see what we get.

Speaker C:

Take picture.

Speaker A:

We hear the little processing noise as it generates a description, and that noise has now stopped and we haven't gotten any real speech feedback. But if I arrow around, I'll start by up arrowing just to see where I'm at.

Speaker C:

The picture shows a black vertical dresser with four drawers. The top drawer is closed and the remaining three are open to varying degrees. The bottom drawer is open the widest. To the right of the dresser, there is a partial view of a gray office chair with a black base and wheels. On the left side. There is a white door partially visible in the background. There is another room with a visible door frame and on the wall there is a hanging organizer with pockets, possibly for shoes or accessories. The floor is carpeted in a light color. There is also a small white trash bin with a couple of items in it positioned to the left of the dresser.

Speaker A:

Cool. All right, so I am going to ask it a question. So if I hit my down arrow, take picture, ask more and press my confirm key. Ask more and I'll go ahead and down arrow because we're looking for an edit box where we can dictate a question be my AI.

Speaker C:

The picture is a hall of volunteer Add picture edit text.

Speaker A:

So if we wanted to, we could add a picture from our photo library, but we're not going to do that. I'm on the text field where I can type in a message to be my AI itself. So I'll press confirm keyboard shown and we got keyboard shown so I'm going to dictate this to the best of my ability and we're going to ask it to describe the chest of drawers in detail. Describe the chest of drawers in detail.

Speaker D:

Describe the chest of drawers in detail.

Speaker A:

And I'll press confirm keyboard hidden and now if I down arrow send message I'm going to hit confirm on send message.

Speaker C:

Send message.

Speaker A:

And don't mind that that's just mail notifications and we really don't get any feedback of anything happening. But if I hit my up arrow key edit text there's our edit text field. Add picture we have our add picture if I up arrow once more call a volunteer there's call of volunteer. I'll do it one more time.

Speaker D:

Be my AI the chest of drawers.

Speaker C:

Is a tall black piece of furniture with a simple modern design. It has four drawers, each with a silver horizontal handle in the center. The top drawer appears to be slightly smaller in height compared to the other three. The second drawer from the top open about a quarter of the way. The third drawer is open halfway and the bottom drawer is fully extended. The dresser stands upright on a flat base without visible legs. The surface of the dresser is not completely visible, but there seems to be some items on top, although it's not clear what they are due to the angle of the photo. The dresser finish looks smooth and possibly laminated, reflecting a bit of light, which suggests a semi lost texture.
