Workback
Workback provides an AI-powered accessibility auditing and remediation platform that helps EdTech companies pass school district WCAG 2.1 AA compliance reviews. The platform uses AI agents to test authenticated products, delivers fixes as pull requests in existing code repositories, and generates district-ready VPATs on every release. Workback's technology powered the AI accessibility program that contributed to Zanichelli winning the 2026 ABC International Excellence Award for Accessible Publishing.

Problem
Large US school districts must make their digital services WCAG 2.1 AA conformant by April 2027 under ADA Title II requirements finalized by the DOJ in April 2024. EdTech companies are facing these obligations pushed into their contracts through WCAG attestations in RFPs, remediation clauses in renewals, and VPAT reviews before procurement sign-off. Traditional accessibility audits take 12 weeks or longer, and the resulting findings often sit in engineering backlogs for months, leaving vendors unable to keep pace with procurement timelines.
Solution
Workback provides an AI-powered accessibility auditing and remediation platform that helps EdTech companies pass district accessibility reviews without pausing their product roadmap. AI agents test authenticated products against WCAG 2.1 AA like real users, catching keyboard traps, ARIA failures, and conditional UI that static scanners miss. Findings arrive as pull requests in existing code repositories, allowing engineering teams to review and merge fixes through their normal workflow rather than working from spreadsheets. The platform generates a district-ready VPAT on every release, ensuring documentation stays current and ready when procurement asks. Workback has been working with Zanichelli, one of Italy's leading educational publishers, since October 2025, powering the AI accessibility program that contributed to Zanichelli winning the 2026 ABC International Excellence Award for Accessible Publishing.
Target Audience
Primary customers are EdTech companies and educational publishers that need to meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance requirements for US school district contracts, including those responding to RFPs with accessibility attestations and renewals with remediation clauses.
