Eightfold AI achieves WCAG 2.2 AA compliance in two months using autonomous AI accessibility agents
Eightfold AI faced hundreds of accessibility issues across its React component library — including missing ARIA labels, keyboard navigation gaps, insufficient color contrast, and form labeling issues — that threatened compliance goals and would have required 6-10 months to address using traditional manual methods.
