Accessibility news, research, and Luke compliance assistant

Our Mission

About accessibility.chat

AI-assisted accessibility research and analysis, built around source review, editorial checks, corrections, and practical guidance for accessibility work.

Our Mission

Accessibility compliance shouldn't be about checking boxes — it should be about creating sustainable, meaningful change that serves disabled communities. Our AI research engine provides practical, actionable guidance based on real cases, standards, and legal developments.

We publish daily articles and weekly deep-dive research papers, ensuring accessibility professionals stay informed without information overload.

The CORS Framework

Every article is analyzed through a balanced, four-part lens.

C

Community

What do disabled people actually need? Centering lived experience and real barriers in every analysis.

O

Operational

What can teams realistically implement? Evaluating technical feasibility, developer workflows, and resource constraints.

R

Risk

What does the law require? Analyzing case law, DOJ guidance, settlement patterns, and regulatory trends.

S

Strategic

How does this fit the business? Aligning accessibility with budgets, timelines, and organizational goals.

How Our Research Engine Works

AI-assisted drafting with source-first review standards.

1

Source Discovery

Our engine monitors DOJ settlements, RSS feeds, WCAG test suites, and accessibility news sources for new developments.

2

AI Lens Drafting

AI analyst lenses draft articles through specialized CORS perspectives. These lenses are editorial tools, not human staff members.

3

Editorial Review

Articles are checked for sourcing, accessibility values, legal and technical precision, readability, and correction risk before publication.

Luke

A free accessibility triage assistant

Luke is built for the practical moments that happen before formal remediation or audit: reviewing a grievance policy, inspecting a PDF with deterministic checks and veraPDF, screening a web page through Axe, Aberio, Luke Lens, and Web Audit Lite, or turning scattered evidence into a source-aware remediation memo.

Good For

Fast triage, source-linked guidance, PDF inspection, policy review, multi-engine web assessment, project notes, and next-step planning.

Not A Replacement For

Legal advice, certified conformance claims, complete manual audits, assistive technology testing, remediation, or final sign-off.

Why It Is Free

We want teams to understand risk earlier, ask better questions, and build trust before they need a larger accessibility or language access workflow.

Trust and Transparency

We do not want readers guessing what was AI-assisted, what was sourced, or how to challenge an article. Our methodology explains the source hierarchy, review gates, AI analyst lenses, and corrections process behind the site.
