Built an AI assistant for my blind son because Siri kept saying, "I didn't get that."
My 15-year-old can initiate a FaceTime call with Sir, but can't hang up without asking the other person to disconnect. That's the state of "accessibility" in 2025.
So I spent a week coding at midnight with Claude and ChatGPT, creating Guy — a voice assistant that actually understands teenage mumbling, controls music with two giant buttons (top half: next song, bottom half: back to chat), and can read his physics textbook out loud.
Technology doesn't need to be perfect to be transformative. It just needs to work for the person who needs it.
