SmartAIs – For confident last meter navigation.

Are you looking for a building entrance, a bus stop, of a text on a display board? SmartAIs guides you to any landmarks, objects, or text and describes them to you so that you can confidently find your way around your surroundings.

Created with you - for you. Help shape SmartAIs and make mobility more accessible together. We are currently looking for motivated testers who are willing to help us with their invaluable feedback.

We have been awarded the German Mobility Prize 2024. We were a finalist in the Health-i Award organized by Techniker Krankenkasse and Handelsblatt in 2024.

Because accessibility shouldn't be an extra.

Everyday life has enough obstacles: Missing guidelines for the blind and acoustic signals, text that is difficult to read. For many people with visual impairments, the last few steps to their destination are the most difficult. These situations cost time, focus, and energy. SmartAIs makes orientation points perceptible from afar and guides you the last few meters - clearly and in a way that is suitable for everyday use.

Let's partner up

Rethinking orientation together​

​

We believe that good partnerships create accessibility for everyone. SmartAIs develops technologies that describe environments in a context-sensitive way for blind and visually impaired people—for greater participation and inclusion.

 

Let's talk if you want to make your cultural, care, public, or mobility facility more accessible to blind and visually impaired people.

 

We are actively looking for partners.​
