DANA Accessibility Agent

DANA Access is an AI powered accessibility agent developed as part of the Findora AI platform, Canada’s first AI search engine built with a strong focus on truth, verification, and trust in AI systems.

DANA Access is designed to help people with low vision and mobility challenges, seniors, and neurodiverse users interact with the digital and physical world independently and safely. Through voice based interaction, users can check current weather conditions and short term forecasts, search the web for up to date information, look up products and services, find nearby locations and receive spoken directions, and manage emails and calendar events without relying on screens or complex touch based interfaces. Core phone functions such as the camera and GPS can also be controlled using voice commands.

The agent uses the device camera to capture images and provide verbal descriptions of the surrounding environment, supporting situational awareness for users with limited vision.

A key differentiator of DANA Access is its built in hallucination detection and verification layer, inherited from Findora AI’s trusted search and reasoning infrastructure. Before delivering responses, the system verifies outputs to reduce incorrect descriptions, directions, or instructions. This is especially important in accessibility scenarios where inaccurate information can negatively impact safety, confidence, and independence.

The platform is already live and in active use. A working beta is currently being tested by early users, including seniors and neurodiverse individuals, who are providing continuous feedback to improve usability, accessibility, and reliability. Access to the live platform and testing links can be provided upon request.

DANA Access is designed with a strong emphasis on inclusion, dignity, and real world usability. Rather than focusing on experimental features, the project prioritizes trustworthy AI, safety, and everyday usefulness for people who rely on assistive and inclusive technology.
