Operation: Keller AI

Ready to build AI that matters? Operation Keller AI is a tech-for-good initiative empowering blind and low-vision community navigators. In our system, Keller AI acts as the intelligent "brain" powering workflows, while Keller Chat serves as the voice-first, highly accessible communication platform.

You will help build this screen-reader-friendly interface to handle the digital heavy lifting like processing voice commands, drafting emails, and surfacing trusted resources. Join us to dismantle accessibility barriers and build a zero-friction platform, allowing our navigators to focus entirely on human connection: learning about a person's life first and their lens second.
