This research introduces a novel VS Code extension that leverages Large Language Models to identify and fix accessibility issues during development rather than post-deployment.

• Integrates LLM capabilities directly within the developer's workflow
• Detects accessibility defects in real-time as code is written
• Provides immediate guidance for resolving identified issues
• Reduces the accessibility barriers that would otherwise reach production

For engineering teams, this approach represents a significant shift from reactive to proactive accessibility development, potentially reducing remediation costs and improving digital inclusion from the ground up.
