You can now get AI-generated suggestions on how to fix accessibility issues within the Lumar platform. The new functionality has been enabled in the platform in beta, so we can review responses and check for any quality issues that may arise from using AI to generate the suggestions and make improvements. 

As such, please note that these suggestions should be considered as guidance, and you should look carefully at the suggestion to make sure it’s the right solution for your site.

Note: If your internal policies prohibit sharing summary information with third-party generative Large Language Models (LLMs), you can disable the AI features in Lumar.

How Do the Suggested Solutions Work?

The suggested accessibility solutions available within the Lumar platform are created using OpenAI’s ChatGPT and optimized to generate tailored solutions from only a trusted set of web accessibility documentation, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), for maximum accuracy. 

Our team has crafted and refined prompts to generate the relevant fix recommendations with ChatGPT, which are then delivered directly within the Lumar platform. We are continuously reviewing the responses generated and will continue to further refine these prompts for ongoing improvement.

Accessing the Suggested Solutions

You can access the guidance from any of the accessibility reports in Lumar. From the report table, click on the ID for the issue you want to investigate. This will take you to the Issue Details pages.

You can then click on ‘Suggested Solution’ in the left-hand navigation to view the suggestions. 

Lumi (our AI bot) will then consider the issue and present some possible solutions to fix the issue, along with suggested code where possible. 

You can also click the ‘Copy Text’ button, which will copy the details to your clipboard, so you can paste into a ticket for your dev team. 

Note: If your internal policies prohibit sharing summary information with third-party generative Large Language Models (LLMs), you can also disable the AI features in Lumar.
