PATH
Read full descriptionHide full description
PATH is a voice-first action assistant built to help blind and low-vision users get things done on their iPhone through natural conversation. Instead of navigating through multiple screens, menus, and apps, speak to PATH as you would speak to a person. Ask a question, give a follow-up instruction, correct a detail, or change your mind. PATH keeps track of the conversation, asks for clarification when needed, and confirms important actions before completing them. GET THINGS DONE BY VOICE Use PATH to: • Read and summarize recent or important emails • Search for messages, people, or topics in your inbox • Draft, reply to, and forward emails • Hear what is on your calendar • Create and update calendar events • Check the weather • Hear current news and headline summaries • Ask general questions and follow up naturally EMAIL ACROSS YOUR ACCOUNTS Connect Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud Mail. PATH helps you work with email by voice, including reading, searching, summarizing, composing, replying, and forwarding. When a request involves a person, PATH can use your connected contacts to help identify the intended recipient. Before sending or making an important change, PATH can read the details back and ask for confirmation. CALENDAR AND SCHEDULING Ask what is coming up, check your availability, create an event, or change an existing event through conversation. PATH can ask follow-up questions when details such as the time, date, or attendee are missing. WEATHER, NEWS, AND EVERYDAY INFORMATION PATH is more than an email assistant. Ask about the weather, request current news summaries, or ask everyday questions without leaving the main experience. Location access is optional and is used only when needed for location-aware requests such as local weather. DESIGNED FOR NATURAL CONVERSATION You do not need to memorize a special list of commands. Speak naturally, interrupt, correct yourself, ask for more detail, or continue from the previous response. PATH is designed to understand the goal behind your request and guide you through any missing information. BUILT ACCESSIBILITY FIRST PATH was designed with blind and low-vision users from the beginning. It supports VoiceOver, clear spoken feedback, large accessible controls, and both Voice-Only and Voice + Text experiences. Choose Push to Talk when you want direct control over each turn, or start Continuous Listening for a more hands-free experience. When Continuous Listening is active, PATH can remain available through the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen while you move between apps. The session is always user-started and can be stopped at any time. YOUR ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY PATH asks for permission before accessing the microphone, location, contacts, email, or calendar. Connected account data is used to provide the features you request. You can manage integrations, disconnect accounts, and delete your PATH account and associated data from Settings. From communication and scheduling to weather, news, and everyday questions, PATH gives you one accessible place to ask and act by voice.
