Spotlight with Karthik from Envision We caught up with Karthik from Envision and got updated about the fact that Envision is now free for everyone without the need of a subscription and this takes place in mid-July.

Folks can still donate (if they choose to do so), as this helps in funding the project. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.letsenvision.envisionai&hl=en_US&gl=US ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGSWBzOES4o
