Teaching Your AI Agent to Build Products That Everyone Can Use

At a glance

This talk covers how AI agents copy accessibility problems found in the code they learned from. Accessibility means making products usable for people with disabilities without barriers. In an experiment, the speaker says an agent given accessibility rules finished the same task faster and at lower cost.

What the video covers

1. 1

   A check of top websites found that 96% still have accessibility problems.

2. 2

   Code that lacks accessibility causes harm to users, higher costs, and legal risk.

3. 3

   The talk presents a four-step approach: defining requirements, auditing the codebase, using a design system (a shared library of common design parts), and enforcing the rules.

4. 4

   The speaker shares examples of lightweight accessibility skills (reusable instructions for agents) that are easy to start with.

Why watch it?

If you build products with AI, this shows how to avoid leaving accessibility out.
