Bring names into alt text

We're building AltContext for publishers who regularly cover the same people. It will combine each photo with your saved names and page context to draft image descriptions for you to review.

See what names add

The AltContext image descriptions were precomputed by the AltContext system using supplied names. AltText.ai was run in its free web demo without names or keywords, so the inputs differ and this is not a controlled comparison. Both services' outputs are shown unedited.

Hover, tap, or tab to a photo to see the supplied names.
