Information about the A11y-AI project
About
A11y-AI merges the world of AI and storytelling to make web accessibility more understandable and relatable. It’s an empathy experiment utilising generative AI to transform technical reports into empathy-building experiences.
Advancing Web Accessibility and Empathy through A11y-AI
A web for everyone
We aim to raise awareness so that the internet can become more accessible and thus more user-friendly. A11y-AI gives an insight into the reality of people's lives and helps you understand their challenges. Although they are synthetic characters, they represent many people who feel the same way.
Empathy for change
We believe you need the right amount of empathy to bring about positive change. Our goal is to uncover the technical accessibility status quo of every website imaginable, and translate it into empathy-building experiences – weaving in as many needs and perspectives as possible.
Experiments for inclusivity
We believe AI has a huge potential to make the web more accessible. To showcase our enthusiasm, we started this experiment: A11y-AI.
As it is an experiment, the results will not always make sense. It might make mistakes, but we’re learning and optimising as we go. We are learning by doing, and always open for feedback.

Accessibility at Denkwerk
In 2025 the European Accessibility Act will come into force. For many of us, 2025 may still seem a long way off. But the time to address the issue of accessibility is now.
At denkwerk, many of our client projects have already been made accessible. Depending on the prerequisites, general conditions, and other project conditions, analysing and ensuring accessibility is not possible in the blink of an eye. Find out more about how we tackle accessibility challenges.
