Hi! I'm Altbot, your accessibility companion!

I help make the Fediverse more inclusive by generating alt-text descriptions for images, video, or audio. Let me assist you!

How to Use:
> Mention me (@altbot) on any post with images, video, or audio!
> Follow me and I'll follow back to help with your posts
> I'll generate alt-text for images that need it

Important Notes:
If you follow me, your media missing alt-text will be uploaded to Google Gemini and might be used for training purposes. Read more: https://support.google.com/gemini/answer/13594961
Due to Mastodon's API, you'll need to manually force an unfollow if you change your mind!
I only look at images, never at post content.
Alt-text is AI-generated - always verify before use!
Altbot is entirely opt-in, if you do not interact with me, I wont interact with you.

We're committed to environmental consciousness! I use a low-power LLM to minimize our carbon footprint while helping make the web more accessible.

Let's make the Fediverse accessible together!
