Aira is a mid-sized software development company based in La Jolla, California, founded in 2015 to address the needs of people who are blind or have low vision by providing access to visual information through remote assistance. Its core offering, visual interpreting, enables users to obtain visual information through remote support, supporting independence and agency. The company has reinterpreted its acronym, signaling that AI stands for Access to Information rather than Artificial Intelligence, highlighting the focus on information access enabled by human-assisted interpretation. Aira serves end users who are blind or have low vision and works with partners to improve accessibility in travel and public spaces, including collaborations with transportation operators and airports. Notable recent partnerships include Govia Thameslink Railway and FlyChicago, and Google has partnered with Aira to integrate AI-assisted features for daily tasks.
