Lovable claimed 100% accessibility. Axess Lab's screen reader test told a different story. This is the gap that matters. Automated scores don't catch what real users actually experience. If you're selling AI-built sites to clients, this is the case study for why human review still belongs in the workflow.

Lovable’s AI built a 100% accessible site – or did it? | Axess Lab

We wanted to get an indication of how accessible AI-built sites are at the moment. So I let my colleague Daniel try out a site…

The new AI writing toolkit is keyboard-first and review-first. Grammar, thesaurus, rewrite, summarize, expand, translate, table of contents, even Document Q and A and read aloud. It works across six providers including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, and Ollama, with prompt caching to keep costs down. And it never touches your text without showing you first. The AI is a bonus, never the point.

Quill 0.7.0 Beta is here, and this is the biggest one yet. Quill is a screen-reader-first writing and document environment for Windows and Mac, and it is a community project, built by people who use screen readers every day. The edit field is a plain text field, no custom controls fighting your screen reader. It tells you the result, not every step it took. Move through a document by heading, list, table, or code block, like a web page.

Getting started is easy. The redesigned startup wizard asks how you actually work and sets menus and commands to match, in plain English. Want to extend it? The Quillin platform now has settings pages, searchable preferences, document and lifecycle events, and a snippet gallery of ready-to-use templates. quillforall.org has the docs and guides.
