With Sidekick, accessible design just got ten times faster. Sidekick uses AI to automatically scan your entire design file for accessibility, give you a list of any issues, and suggest fixes.

Hey everyone! Cat Noone, CEO (and co-founder) of Stark. I'm so excited for the existence of Stark. It was a massive lift from Stark bringing AI-powered tooling to accessibility. While doing it the right way! It’s beautiful, and saves designers and devs a ton of time—speeding up your org's time to compliance while keeping you at the helm of decisions. Until recently, software accessibility wasn’t a primary focus for many orgs. Now, as the discussion and implementation of practices and tooling rises, it’s important to understand how critical it is to adopt new technologies—ensuring digital accessibility doesn't fall behind. The reality is that accessibility has fallen behind for decades. We're playing catch up, and the modern 21st century tech stack needs Continuous Accessibility baked into its core fabric, with tooling that can keep up with the pace of modern SaaS workflows. Stoked to see Sidekick supercharging that.

Love this update. This is a great use of AI to help designers in their daily work. Accessibility is so important, and sometimes you just need a reminder that something could be better and more accessible. I just tested it, and it worked pretty well for the alt-text suggestions. That's a great addition too!

Can't wait to try it out! Curious - does it suggest colors from your design system library? Or are the colors just general suggestions based on the color with the issue?
