Summary
Two 17-year-olds in Delhi are developing SARA AI, a voice-first learning companion for visually impaired students. Samsung says the prototype is among the Top 20 solutions in its Solve for Tomorrow 2026 programme.
Two 17-year-old students from Delhi, Aditya and Sparsh, are developing SARA AI, a voice-first learning companion intended to make digital education more accessible to visually impaired students. Samsung says the project, created by their team Equinox, is among the Top 20 solutions in Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026. SARA AI remains an early prototype.
How SARA AI is intended to support learning
The team is developing the system to let students interact with learning materials through voice commands. Its planned functions include converting speech into text, tracking learning progress, supporting tests and assessments, and checking in with users after periods of inactivity.
For students who cannot readily use visual interfaces, voice interaction can offer another way to engage with digital learning tasks. Its usefulness in a classroom would depend on how well the system handles real learning activities and the needs of the students using it. Samsung’s account describes the intended features but does not detail the system’s technical design.
Samsung says Team Equinox has tested SARA AI with more than 40 students in Delhi and spoken with schools and trusts to understand the needs of visually impaired learners. The company does not report specific results from those interactions. The team is using them to explore how the prototype might work in learning environments, where accessibility, ease of use and reliability all matter.
From prototype to possible school use
As part of Solve for Tomorrow, the students have received mentorship and taken part in a bootcamp covering areas including design thinking and the startup ecosystem. Samsung says they also had one-on-one sessions with Samsung and FITT, IIT Delhi, and input from AI experts in Samsung’s research and development ecosystem.
The team is exploring whether SARA AI could be adopted by schools, non-governmental organisations and other institutions that support visually impaired students. It hopes to expand the project across schools in Delhi, with a potential reach of approximately 6,000 students, subject to further development and adoption.
That figure is an ambition rather than a current user count. The next step for the project is to develop the prototype further and understand how it can meet students’ needs in practical educational settings.
