Why is axe Assistant is Such a Big Deal?

With so much inaccurate and incomplete information online, it’s oftentimes hard to answer even simple digital accessibility questions. Designers, developers, testers, and other allies also frequently have questions when they’re in the middle of a project—and accessibility experts can’t always be available to support teams at all times.

Axe Assistant gives customers accurate, instant answers to accessibility questions and generates basic HTML and content components to help teams remediate issues. Trained on the vast collections of courses and materials in Deque University, customers not only get answers to their questions but also the cited source materials from Deque University.
