We’re currently experiencing issues routing calls on the Be My Eyes platform due to some major IT service issues with our underlying infrastructure provider.
Be My AI is working normally.
Our team is in close contact with the provider and working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
The Be My Eyes team standing and smiling in a meeting room. There are ten people present in the room, with one person sitting in front holding a long stick horizontally. Behind the group, a large monitor on the wall displays a video call with many more participants visible in a grid view. On the table in the foreground, there are open laptops, drinking glasses, a chocolate bar, some cables, and a notepad. The atmosphere appears friendly and relaxed, suggesting a team meeting that combines both in-person and virtual attendees.
Today is #BlindAmericansEqualityDay! Our mission? Accessibility for everyone, everywhere. 🌍
Our global team met in Copenhagen and joined remotely to plan 2026 and beyond - working together across borders to make the world more inclusive! 💙

Image description from Be My AI: Three people standing together indoors at what appears to be an event or conference. The man on the left is wearing glasses, a striped suit, and holding a microphone, seemingly conducting an interview or speaking. He has an event badge around his neck. In the center, there is a woman with sunglasses, long dark hair, and a gray checkered blazer, smiling and posing with her cane and her event badge on a yellow lanyard. On the right, a man in a black cap, light blue shirt, and dark jacket is smiling and has his arm around the woman in the middle, holding a white cane and a pair of glasses. There is a blue banner in the background and another person partially visible behind them. The atmosphere appears friendly and professional.
