FixLens – From AI Repair Assistance to Collective Repair Intelligence FixLens is a multimodal, voice-first AI repair companion that helps people diagnose and fix real-world problems using live camera input and natural voice conversations in their preferred language. People often struggle with everyday repairs because they lack technical knowledge, cannot identify the faulty component, or cannot follow complex online tutorials. Existing solutions typically provide generic instructions but cannot observe what users actually do, understand when a repair attempt fails, or adapt their guidance to the changing physical situation. FixLens addresses this gap through an intelligent repair loop: See, Diagnose, Guide, Verify, and Recover. Users can show a problem through their camera, describe it naturally, and receive personalized, step-by-step guidance. FixLens observes the repair progress, verifies each step using visual feedback, detects mistakes, and adapts its instructions when something goes wrong. It also considers the user’s language, experience level, and available tools. What makes FixLens different is its Collective Repair Intelligence. With user consent, each repair session can be transformed into a structured Repair Episode containing the original problem, diagnosis, actions taken, mistakes, recovery methods, and verified outcomes. Quality-approved experiences become reusable knowledge that can help future users solve similar problems more effectively. Rather than simply generating instructions, FixLens aims to build an AI system that learns from real-world repair experiences, preserves successful solutions and failure patterns, and continuously improves through evidence-backed knowledge retrieval and evaluation. Our vision is to make practical repair knowledge accessible to everyone, regardless of language, technical expertise, or access to professional help.
