CodeA11y: AI for Accessible Web Development
Empowering Accessible Web Development with AI Coding Assistants
Our research and CodeA11y extension enhance GitHub Copilot to proactively address accessibility challenges, ensuring developers build inclusive user interfaces from the start.
A persistent challenge in accessible computing is ensuring developers produce web UI code that supports assistive technologies. Despite numerous specialized accessibility tools, novice developers often remain unaware of them, leading to ~96% of web pages that contain accessibility violations.
Executive Impact: Elevating Accessibility Standards
Traditional web development often overlooks accessibility, leading to significant barriers. Integrating AI coding assistants offers a powerful solution to embed accessibility best practices directly into the development workflow, significantly reducing common errors and improving compliance with WCAG standards.
