Field notes
The app walkthrough starts with a sample shop and shows Iris identifying product, price, and add-to-cart roles before presenting three shoes in a linear list. Its example commands include “next” and “add to cart,” while the demo also shows a chat widget hidden and a cookie banner dismissed. The cane feature list describes sensing, haptic feedback, turn guidance, folding, and USB-C charging; these are site claims, not independently verified capabilities.
