Arlo - I Built an AI Companion That Gives Blind Users the Same 3-Second Superpower Sighted People Have

This is a submission for the Notion MCP Challenge I'm 24. I dropped out. I'm building an AI startup from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I built Arlo in 9 days because I kept thinking about a specific number: 253 million people with vision loss navigate the web the same way every single time - from zero, with no memory of what helped them before. Every visit. Every site. From scratch. Notion MCP is what finally made a real solution possible. The Problem Nobody Talks About A sighted person lands on a flight booking page and within 3 seconds they know: there's a search bar at the top, filters on the left, results in the middle. Three seconds. A blind user with a screen reader starts from the top and listens. Every navigation link. Every cookie banner. Every decorative image. Every sponsored result. On a site like Kayak, that's often 200+ elements before a single fare. And every visit starts from zero - the screen reader has no memory of what helped last time. I built Arlo because that's not good
