This weekly update brings exciting news about AI-powered tools that help make websites and apps easier to use for people with disabilities.

Level Access, a company that helps businesses make their digital products accessible, announced a big step forward on September 4th. They are adding AI accessibility agents to their products. These are smart computer helpers that can automatically check if websites work well for people who are blind, deaf, or have other disabilities.

These new AI agents are different from older tools. Instead of just checking for problems after a website is built, they work alongside teams while they create digital products. This means problems can be found and fixed much earlier, which saves time and money.

The AI agents can do three main things: test websites automatically, suggest simple fixes for accessibility problems, and create reports that business leaders can understand. This helps companies of all sizes make their digital products work better for everyone.

This news comes at an important time. In Europe, new laws called the European Accessibility Act now require many businesses to make their digital products accessible. In the United States, companies continue to face lawsuits under the Americans with Disabilities Act when their websites don't work for people with disabilities.

Companies are also learning that making accessible products is good for business. When websites and apps work for people with disabilities, they often work better for everyone. This can help companies reach more customers and build a better reputation.

The use of agentic AI in accessibility shows how smart technology can help solve real problems. These AI helpers don't just follow simple rules - they can understand context and make smart decisions about how to improve accessibility.
