With Dazzle, Marissa Mayer bets your camera roll has more info on your life than your inbox

Dazzle builds its personal assistant around the phone photos users already keep.

Marissa Mayer’s new app uses the camera roll, not email or calendars, to infer preferences, routines, trips, hobbies, and family context. TechCrunch’s test found it could make more personal suggestions, including travel and activity ideas, but also missed details a human might expect it to retain. Mayer argues photos may feel less sensitive than inbox or message access, and says Dazzle discards information its AI flags as sensitive. TechCrunch AI's note
