A11yBuddy — AI-Powered Accessibility Assistant
An AI-powered accessibility assistant built into the OneAdvanced Platform UI, embedding personalisation so every product adapts to the user rather than relying on bolt-on extensions.
Aims
Make accessibility native and serve the full spectrum of needs (vision, hearing, cognitive, neurodiversity, language), while driving WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, cutting legal and tender risk, and reaching a large underserved audience — 1 in 6 people globally, 70–80% of needs undisclosed.
Solution
Built-in personalisation with accessibility profiles and presets (ADHD, dyslexia, low vision, cognitive needs) plus on-demand contrast, larger text, icon-led navigation and plain-language translation — no extensions — with a roadmap of adaptive themes, AI focus mode, multimodal support, cross-device sync and proactive nudges.
Commercial Value
Cross-sector and fast to deploy on the platform UI, it boosts platform stickiness, strengthens public-sector bids, and reinforces brand leadership in inclusive design.
