Open Ability Labs

AI-Assisted Accessibility Deployment

Smart home support systems for people with physical and developmental disabilities and their families.

We help build affordable and reliable smart home supports by developing, sharing, and deploying open-source AI skills that empower people with physical and developmental disabilities to live more independently and reduce stress on caregivers.

Roadmap

Phase 1 (Now)

6-month Supported Pilot

Prove the model with 5-10 families/homes and refine core skills.

Phase 2 (12-18 Months)

Agent-in-the-Loop

Embed assistants into deployed homes for proactive support and escalation.

Phase 3 (2+ Years)

Autonomous Support

Self-diagnosing systems, volunteers focused on complex cases and new skill development.
