We’re integrating artificial intelligence as much as possible into the Accessibility Tracker. Starting on September 10, we’ll have AI for project insights. This will be available for all of your projects.
Here’s what’s happening:
We’ve already successfully integrated AI to help your team make fixes — and this AI has a super punch because it is working from your actual audit report data.
Thus, your team can make fixes faster and they’ll more likely to be correct.
Now we’re adding AI for project insights.
This means project managers, executives, and other leadership can instantly get insight into accessibility and compliance efforts. Here are example questions of how this type of insight could be invaluable.
- Are we on pace to finish our project by the compliance deadline?
- What elements do we have the most problems with?
- What are the most significant accessibility issues we have?
- How can we improve our processes going forward?
- What can we do to reduce project costs?

How Project Insights AI Works
Project Insights AI analyzes all of your accessibility data across every project in your dashboard. Unlike the individual issue AI tools that help with specific fixes, this new feature examines patterns, progress rates, and project metrics to provide strategic intelligence about your accessibility program.
The AI has access to your complete project history – every issue status change, validation cycle, team assignment, and completion timeline. This comprehensive view enables it to identify trends and provide recommendations that would take hours of manual analysis to uncover.
Practical Applications for Your Team
When you ask “Are we on pace to finish by our deadline?”, the AI examines your current fix rate, validation cycles, and remaining issues. It factors in the complexity of outstanding issues based on their WCAG criteria and provides a realistic projection.
For questions about recurring problems, the AI identifies patterns across your digital assets. If multiple projects show keyboard navigation issues or missing alternative text, you’ll know where to focus training efforts or adjust your development practices.
The AI can also analyze your remediation efficiency. It tracks how long different issue types take to fix and validate, which team members work fastest on specific problems, and where bottlenecks occur in your workflow. This data helps optimize team assignments and project timelines.
Integration with Existing Features
Project Insights AI complements the existing Accessibility Tracker features you’re already using. While the issue-level AI tools help developers fix specific problems, Project Insights AI helps managers and executives make strategic decisions.
The AI understands your prioritization choices – whether you’re using the risk factor formula for legal compliance or the user impact formula for accessibility objectives. It can explain why certain issues appear more frequently or take longer to resolve based on your specific digital assets and team structure.
Your monthly progress reports become more valuable when paired with AI insights. Instead of just seeing completion percentages, you can understand what’s driving your progress rates and what adjustments could accelerate completion.
Real-Time Intelligence
Previously, getting these insights required exporting data, creating pivot tables, and manually analyzing patterns. Project managers would spend hours in spreadsheets trying to understand project trajectories and team performance.
Now you can ask natural questions and receive immediate answers based on your actual project data. The AI processes information from all your projects simultaneously, something that would be overwhelming for manual analysis when managing multiple digital assets.
Accessibility Patterns and Predictions
The AI identifies which WCAG success criteria cause the most issues across your projects. This helps you anticipate problems in future audits and adjust your development standards accordingly.
When similar issues appear across different projects, the AI recognizes these patterns. If form labeling problems occur on multiple websites, you’ll know to implement better form accessibility practices organization-wide.
The system also tracks validation success rates. If certain types of fixes frequently need rework, the AI identifies these problem areas so you can provide additional guidance or training to your team.
Cost and Time Optimization
Understanding where time and money go in accessibility projects helps reduce future costs. The AI analyzes which issues consume the most resources and suggests process improvements.
For instance, if color contrast issues take disproportionate time due to design review cycles, the AI might recommend establishing color palette standards upfront. Or if keyboard navigation fixes require multiple validation rounds, it could suggest more thorough initial testing protocols.
These insights transform reactive remediation into proactive accessibility planning. Instead of repeatedly fixing the same types of issues, you can adjust your processes to prevent them.
Strategic Planning Support
Project Insights AI helps with resource allocation decisions. When you need to estimate timelines for new projects, the AI uses your historical data to provide realistic projections based on audit size and issue complexity.
The system understands seasonal patterns in your remediation work. If your team consistently slows during certain periods, the AI factors this into deadline projections and resource recommendations.
For organizations managing multiple digital properties, the AI helps prioritize which assets need attention first. It considers legal risk, user impact, and resource availability to suggest optimal project sequencing.
Implementation Timeline
Project Insights AI launches September 10 for all Accessibility Tracker subscribers. The feature works immediately with your existing project data – no configuration or setup required.
The AI analyzes your complete project history from day one, so organizations with months of data will receive deeper insights than those just starting. However, even new projects benefit from pattern recognition across issues and industry benchmarks built into the system.
Key Insights
- Project Insights AI transforms raw accessibility data into strategic intelligence without manual analysis
- The feature analyzes patterns across all projects to identify recurring issues and optimization opportunities
- Real-time answers to complex questions about deadlines, costs, and team performance replace hours of spreadsheet work
- Historical data analysis enables accurate project planning and resource allocation for future accessibility efforts
- Integration with existing Accessibility Tracker features provides comprehensive visibility from individual issues to program-level trends
FAQ
How does Project Insights AI differ from the existing AI tools in Accessibility Tracker?
The existing AI tools focus on individual issues – helping developers understand and fix specific accessibility problems. Project Insights AI examines your entire accessibility program across all projects, providing strategic analysis about patterns, progress, and performance.
What types of questions can I ask Project Insights AI?
You can ask about project timelines, cost optimization, recurring issues, team performance, compliance deadlines, process improvements, and resource allocation. The AI answers questions that require analysis across multiple projects or historical data patterns.
Will Project Insights AI work with my existing Accessibility Tracker data?
Yes, the AI automatically analyzes all your existing project data starting September 10. Organizations with longer project histories will receive deeper insights based on more data points, but even new users benefit from the system’s pattern recognition capabilities.
How does the AI calculate whether we’ll meet our compliance deadline?
The AI examines your current remediation rate, the complexity of remaining issues based on WCAG criteria, typical validation cycles for your team, and historical patterns in your fix velocity. It combines these factors to project a realistic completion timeline.
Can Project Insights AI help reduce our accessibility project costs?
Yes, by identifying where time and resources are consumed inefficiently. The AI spots patterns like issues requiring multiple validation rounds or fixes taking longer than typical. These insights help you adjust processes, provide targeted training, or modify team assignments to reduce overall project costs.
