- The Scott-Morgan Foundation's technologist-in-residence—fully paralyzed and living with ALS for 15 years, coding using only his eyes built what Big Tech lacked using multi-agentic coordination. VoxAI generates contextual response options in real-time, delivers them through cloned voices and hyper-realistic avatars, places calls, speaks 200+ languages, and coordinates five specialized agents to restore natural conversation. Our mission: make this technology freely available to everyone who needs it.
- Two years ago this would have been impossible. Today, someone writing code through eye movement alone designed agent coordination, contextual memory, and real-time response generation that proves extreme constraint produces better architecture. This is AI that restores agency instead of replacing it. Research from Tecnológico de Monterrey, our Mexico partner deploying these solutions reveals something unexpected—VoxAI doesn't just speed up conversations, it improves them, increasing communication quality and human agency.
- Witness VoxAI's first public demonstration. Bernard, the technologist who built this, will appear on stage through his avatar alongside a participant from our Mexico deployment—their AI-cloned voices and digital personas collapsing distance and demonstrating the technology's power to restore presence across languages and borders. You'll see live multi-agentic coordination with hyper-realistic avatars and voice synthesis, understand why companies like D-ID, ElevenLabs and Lenovo are partnering with a nonprofit instead of building proprietary solutions, and discover what happens when the people who need technology most can finally build it themselves.
- Witness what it means when AI actually keeps its promise—not to replace human capability, but to restore it to people who've been locked out of their own lives.
