Who checks the checker?

The free accessibility tools that run inside AI coding assistants have quietly become good. We spent time with the two most popular ones. They find problems and they fix them, and they share an architecture worth understanding before you rely on one.

WebAIM counted 133 million ARIA attributes in 2026, a 27% jump in one year, alongside more errors per page than the year before. More accessibility code, less accessible web. Here is what that says about AI-generated markup and the criteria nobody ever wrote down.

WCAG-EM 2.0, the W3C's new official method for evaluating conformance, says in plain text what the 'automate it all' vendors never will: no tool alone can prove a site is accessible. Here's why that vindicates the way we built Jeikin.

The agent loop is becoming the enforcement layer

Security and quality tools are moving their checks inside the AI writing loop, enforced by the agent as it generates code. Accessibility is arriving there too. Here's the pattern, and what it takes to count.

What AI just gave accessibility professionals back

For two decades, accessibility specialists have spent a meaningful slice of their week on the boring 30–40% — missing alt text, wrong heading levels, ARIA in invalid combinations. In the last 60 days, that layer started handling itself. Here's what that frees them to do.
