If you have limited mobility, AI can help with tasks that are hard to do physically, using voice or text.
Task Automation
What It Is: AI can write letters, send messages, or manage schedules for you.
Example: In Nigeria, a man named Chidi with a spinal injury says, “Help me write a letter to my doctor,” and the AI drafts a clear letter he can send.
Prompts to Try:
“Write a letter to [person] about [topic].”
“Send a text to my caregiver.”
Tools: Google Assistant, Microsoft Cortana (basic smartphones).
Smart Home Basics
What It Is: Use voice commands to control devices like lights or fans, if available.
Example: In urban Ghana, a woman named Ama with limited arm movement says, “Turn on lights using voice commands,” and her AI-connected bulb lights up.
Prompts to Try:
“Turn off the fan.”
“Set the room temperature.”
Tools: Amazon Alexa (if affordable), Google Home (basic versions).
Transportation Help
What It Is: AI can find accessible routes or transport options.
Example: In Kenya, a wheelchair user named Joyce types, “Find accessible routes to Nairobi Hospital,” and the AI suggests a bus with a ramp.
Prompts to Try:
“Find a wheelchair-accessible bus to [place].”
“Show me safe routes to [destination].”
Tools: Google Maps, local transport apps (check with NGOs).
