Our AI is trained on thousands of toilet images and continuously improves:

• Current Accuracy: 85-90% for basic cleanliness and space detection
• Continuous Learning: Beta tester feedback helps train the AI
• Human Verification: You can always correct or override AI assessments

Absolutely! LooView works perfectly without AI:

• Manual review writing (traditional text input)
• Star ratings without photo analysis
• Standard photo uploads without AI tagging

• Visual Indicators: Color-coded accessibility ratings on maps
• Voice Features: Voice-to-text for reviews and audio descriptions
• Screen Reader Support: Full compatibility with accessibility technologies
• Filter Options: Find toilets by specific accessibility needs

Beta testers with accessibility expertise are especially valuable for this development.

Smart Location Technology:

• GPS Integration: Automatic location detection when reviewing
• Manual Addition: Add toilets not yet in our database
• Real-time Updates: Live status updates (open/closed, out of order)
• Indoor Mapping: Floor plans for large venues like airports and malls
• Offline Mode: Cache nearby toilets for use without internet

Beta testers help us build the most comprehensive toilet database in the world.
