Close, but not quite

I applaud and vision for the goal of this project! There's just a few minor problems,… when the concept was introduced, the voices were much more robust, those seem to have degraded. Also, there is no textual context invoice mode, switching to text mode is a hole brand new instance, and there is no history to review, or sustained memory, or the ability to upload images/Documents for analysis. These things are key for any basic AI assistant. One other detractor, I beta tested this app, and I receive emails from Mike at envision stating that I have Ally pro, however my app is limited to the free tier plan with no restore subscription button, even though I am logged in with my Pro account. If I'm not a pro user, fine, but don't send me emails stating "Welcome to Ally Pro", at least I'll get to keep the personas I created from the beta. I understand trying to offset costs, but paying for unlimited voice chat, an additional Ally personalities, seems silly when I can get that for free on any other AI platform.

A Must-Have AI Assistant for the Blind

I am a blind user who recently started using the Ally app, and I’m truly blown away by what this assistant can do. I can easily ask for information online, check the local weather, get documents read aloud, and have images accurately described to me. Each voice has its own unique personality and responds in a way that feels both natural and personalized.This app has significantly boosted my productivity as both a student and a working professional. I’m constantly discovering new features that support me in my day-to-day life, whether for personal tasks or professional needs.If you’re visually impaired and looking for a smarter, faster way to get things done, Ally is absolutely worth trying.

A vision assistant app with personality

I don't use it all that often, but when I do, I really love this app. I love that there are four personalities to choose from, and if desired, the user could create their own customized personality. I don't really have the skills to do that, and I really enjoy the stock personality options. The voices are a bit lacking; wish that they'd have the 11 labs voices like they did during the beta, and more variety of voices, but I'm happy with the app as it is, especially while it's free. I wouldn't pay for the current voice options, though.

A Thoughtfully Designed Assistant for Everyone

ally isn’t just an accessibility tool—it’s a full-fledged AI assistant built with real intention. It was designed from the ground up for people who are blind or visually impaired, but honestly, anyone can benefit from it.You can talk to it or chat with it, depending on what’s more comfortable. You can fully customize your assistant’s voice and personality, and even share information about yourself to get more personalized support.For example, I’ve shared my food preferences, so when I’m at a restaurant, ally suggests dishes I love before anything else. That kind of thoughtful experience makes it feel personal without being invasive.It’s available across platforms—including the app, web, and Envision Glasses for those who use them—and every detail shows how much care went into making it inclusive and useful for real life.This is what AI should be: respectful, customizable, and actually helpful.
