Hi everyone, thanks for having me. I'm here to talk about GitHub's Accessibility Scanner and how it supports a model we call Continuous AI for accessibility.

I'll briefly ground us in why accessibility and AI matter right now, explain what Continuous AI for accessibility is, show how the scanner fits into GitHub workflows, and then we'll look at a short demo and next steps.

Continuous AI for accessibility is an approach to building accessible products by embedding tools, AI, and best practices directly into the development process. In this session, we share how we built our open-source prototype and show features like automated accessibility scans and alerts with GitHub Actions, AI-driven fixes from Copilot, and collaborative pull requests that keep humans in the loop. The result is a workflow where developers can tackle issues more seamlessly, accessibility best practices become second nature, and teams are ready to build inclusive products from day one.
