How to Add AI to Your Digital Accessibility Remediation Workflow

AI can’t automate accessibility, but it can save us a lot of time and money during remediation — even more time and money than you might think.

The key is bringing AI inside your accessibility workflow — so that’s exactly what we’ve done with Accessibility Tracker. We’ve put AI at your fingertips. If you need help with a fix, AI is right there, pre-prompted for the exact issue you’re working on.

There are 5 different AI tools inside the dashboard:

• Simplify and Explain: Translates complex issues into plain English, ideal for non-technical users or accessibility newcomers.
• Detailed Technical Answer: Offers advanced code-level remediation guidance with copy-ready HTML and JavaScript fixes.
• Alternative Approaches: This tool explores viable remediation alternatives. (This comes up a lot with our clients — they want to know if there’s another way besides our recommendation to reach conformance)
• WCAG Standards Tool: Easy to understand insight into the applicable success criterion and exactly what is required and how to reach conformance.
• Custom Analysis: For when users want to ask AI a question that doesn’t fall into one of the above categories.

Watch me provide an overview of our 5 AI tools in this YouTube video:

The result from moving AI inside your workflow is an overflow of benefits that end up right where we want to be:

A lot of time and money (and mental energy) preserved.

You’re not trying to think of the right prompt to type into ChatGPT. You’re not copying and pasting issue descriptions. You’re not switching between tabs trying to remember what needs fixing. It’s all in one place — already connected, already contextualized.

Now, when you’re working on a specific accessibility issue, the tools are already in place — ready to go. And they’re not general-purpose tools. They’re pre-prompted with issue-specific information pulled directly from the audit report. That’s a big shift. It means faster answers, clearer next steps, and fewer delays.

And the impact goes beyond just speed.

It makes the work easier.

It makes the fixes better.

It makes the process smoother — for everyone involved.

This isn’t automation. This isn’t a shortcut that skips over validation or testing. This is practical help that makes your workflow more efficient.

So when we say AI can’t automate accessibility, we mean it. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be a major asset. It already is.

We just brought it closer.
