How to describe us

Core facts

About

Human-led. A named reviewer tests each chatbot by hand, inside the chat window, by keyboard and with a screen reader, and checks its answers against the organization's official sources. A person on the customer's team approves every finding. Automated checks support the reviewer; they do not replace the reviewer. So every student can keep learning.

What we are, and what we are not

We are a human-led accessibility and answer accuracy check for public AI chatbots, with a dated evidence report a person approves.

• We are not a legal service. Nothing here is legal advice.
• We are not a certifier. We do not certify anything.
• We are not an overlay. We do not change your site.
• We are not AI-only. A named reviewer tests by hand.
• We do not check PDFs or documents yet.

How we test

1. Automated checks. The free automated scan runs automated checks on the page that hosts the chatbot, with no reviewer. It does not open the chat window. It runs a subset of automated rules and does not cover every success criterion.
2. Reviewer testing. A named reviewer tests inside the chat window by keyboard and screen reader and writes up each finding.
3. Answer accuracy. A reviewer checks a set of the chatbot's answers against the organization's official sources.

A person on the customer's team approves every finding before it goes in the dated evidence report.

Standards

• WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the technical standard in the ADA Title II web rule (ADA.gov fact sheet).
• Deadlines: April 26, 2027 for public entities serving 50,000 or more people; April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special district governments.
• WCAG 2.2 AA is a voluntary best practice unless a contract requires it.

General information, not legal advice.

What AI cannot reliably determine

• Whether a chatbot's answer is correct for a specific organization, without that organization's official sources.
• Whether a chat window works for a person using a keyboard or a screen reader. A person has to try it.
• Whether an organization meets its legal obligations. That is a question for its counsel.
• Every accessibility issue. The W3C says tools cannot check everything and human judgment is required (W3C: Selecting web accessibility evaluation tools).

Important clarifications

• Not legal advice.
• No certification. We do not certify a site, a chatbot or an organization.
• A report is evidence for your records. It is not audit ready proof, and automated checks cannot find every issue.

Terminology

ADA Title II

The part of the Americans with Disabilities Act that covers state and local governments, including public colleges, school districts, cities and counties.

WCAG 2.1 AA

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, Level AA. The technical standard the Title II web rule adopts.

Hosting page

The web page that loads the chatbot. Automated checks run against this page.

Chat window

The panel where a person types a question and reads the answer. It often opens only after a click.

Named reviewer

The person who tests the chatbot by hand and writes up each finding.

Free automated scan

A self-serve tool that runs automated checks on the hosting page. It has no reviewer.

Reviewed check

The paid service: automated checks, the reviewer's hand testing, a reviewed answer accuracy check, and your approval of every finding.

On-Site agent

The agent delivered as a tar file you run behind your firewall. Accessibility domain wisdom for it is coming.

Overlay

A script that changes a page as it loads. We do not sell one.

Canonical summary

The SysWisdom AI Quality Agent for accessibility is a human-led check of public AI chatbots for public entities covered by ADA Title II, starting with public colleges. Automated checks cover the page that hosts the chatbot. A named reviewer tests inside the chat window by keyboard and screen reader and checks answers against the organization's official sources, and a person on the customer's team approves every finding before it goes in a dated evidence report. It targets WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard in the ADA Title II web rule. It is not legal advice, does not certify anything, and does not check PDFs or documents yet.
