AI-shopper readiness

Why AI shopping agents read the same accessibility tree that screen readers do.

Why AI shoppers and accessibility overlap

AI shopping agents don't see your store the way a person with a mouse does. Like a screen reader, they read the accessibility tree — the structured representation of your page's content and controls. If that tree is incomplete or mislabelled, both a screen-reader user and an AI agent struggle in the same places.

Simulated purchase journeys

Axeible simulates agent-driven journeys through your store — finding a product, understanding its options, adding to cart, moving toward checkout — and reports where an automated shopper would get stuck.

A score you can act on

The result is an AI-shopper readiness score you can track over time, alongside your accessibility score. Because the underlying causes overlap, the same fixes that help real people usually raise readiness too.

What it is — and isn't

Readiness estimates how well automated shoppers and assistive technology can complete real journeys. It is strongly correlated with accessibility, but it is not identical to it, and it is not a compliance or legal guarantee.
