WCAG Compliance Auditor agent
WCAG Compliance Auditor is an Optimizely Opal agent that audits Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) SaaS content against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards and applies approved accessibility fixes.
- Challenge – Accessibility issues accumulate across CMS (SaaS) content, and manual reviews miss them before publication.
- Agent outcome – The agent scores content against WCAG, applies approved content-level fixes, and flags systemic issues to a shared backlog.
- Value – Teams reduce accessibility risk and resolve recurring issues faster through reusable fix patterns.
