Welcoming 2025 and Envision Ally to Tech Connect!

Welcome to the waning days of 2024, Vision Forward's Tech Connect is here to keep you company as we usher in the new year! But Cory and Luke are not alone, today they are joined by "Jessica" a potential new co-host, eager to demonstrate her passion for assistive technology. Our Assistive Technology Specialists are a little skeptical though, because Jessica is actually an artificial intelligence courtesy of the brand new Envision Ally!

Using pre-release beta access, our Assistive Technology Specialists will test the limits of this new AI by asking pointed questions about some of the greatest videos that Tech Connect has put out in 2024. Lets hope that "Jessica" is up to the challenge!

And be sure to comment your favorite video or topic from this past year, we love hearing from our audience. Your suggestions may well guide the future of Tech Connect.
