Accessibility teams know how this goes. The scan finishes and the issues list is long. Then the real work starts: finding who owns the page, filing the ticket, waiting for the fix, and checking that it landed. And then there are the PDFs, which often sit outside the scanned part of your digital estate.
Behind every issue on that list is a person. Someone using a screen reader reaches an image with no description, or a PDF with no tags, and can't access what you meant to tell them.
The deadlines won't wait. ADA Title II requires state and local governments to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 or more people, and by April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts. The European Accessibility Act is already in force across the EU. These rules can apply to documents like PDFs, not just web pages.
Siteimprove believes finding a problem is only half the job. Teams need agents that act where the content lives, check their own work, and keep a record. On the analytics side, teams need to turn the data they already collect into answers, without a complex configuration standing in the way.
This release helps close the gap between finding something and fixing it. We're introducing two new capabilities, the CMS Remediation Agent and PDF Policies which finds and fixes accessibility issues automatically and reviews PDFs for accessibility issues. We’re also expanding two existing agents: the PDF Remediation Agent now generates alt text for images in PDFs, and the Conversational Analytics Agent now lets you set up Analytics in plain language. Together these releases strengthen both sides of Siteimprove.ai: the accessibility work that keeps content usable for everyone, and the analytics that show how it performs.
This release includes:
- CMS Remediation Agent: shift left to fix accessibility issues directly inside your CMS (Drupal and WordPress)
- PDF Policies: govern PDFs using the same standards as your web pages
- PDF Remediation Agent: alt text for PDF images
- Conversational Analytics Agent: set up Analytics by describing what you want
CMS Remediation Agent: fix accessibility issues inside your CMS
Until now, teams found accessibility issues in one place and fixed them in another, with a handoff to whoever owns the CMS in between. The CMS Remediation Agent acts on the issues Siteimprove.ai finds, directly inside WordPress and Drupal, checks each fix against WCAG, and logs it.
Web and digital teams stop trading tickets. Fixes happen in the workflow your team already uses, so the person who owns the page doesn't wait on another tool or another team. Accessibility leads get an audit trail they can hand to legal, leadership, or an auditor.
How it works
- The agent works directly inside WordPress and Drupal.
- The agent checks each accessibility issue against WCAG standards.
- Your team verifies and approves proposed fixes.
- The agent logs each approved fix in an audit trail you can share.
PDF Policies: govern PDFs using the same standards as your web pages
Content policies used to stop at the edge of web pages, leaving PDFs unchecked. PDF Policies extends Siteimprove.ai policy enforcement to PDFs, automatically catching outdated terms and accessibility issues.
Teams with many authors and no central view of what they publish need one unified standard. Now the same policies cover your web pages and your PDFs, so a PDF gets the same checks as the page that links to it. Web and content operations teams stop chasing files – and fixes – one at a time.
How it works
- Create a policy in Siteimprove.ai to identify elements within the PDFs (for example, logos or a data point).
- Siteimprove.ai applies the policy to your PDFs to identify matches.
- Siteimprove.ai flags every match, and your team decides how to fix, update, or remove each PDF.
PDF Remediation Agent: alt text for PDF images
Writing alt text for PDFs often means describing every image from scratch, one image at a time. A single document can hold dozens of them. The updated PDF Remediation Agent uses AI to suggest alt text for every image in your PDFs. A team member reviews the results, accepts or edits each suggestion, then downloads the remediated PDF, ready to replace the original on your site.
Teams with backlogs of thousands of images save the most time. Your people review and refine the agent's suggestions instead of writing every description themselves. Many teams have been filling the gap with outside AI tools that give inconsistent results and leave no record. The PDF Remediation Agent keeps the work inside Siteimprove.ai, and a person always makes the final call. For complex PDFs, our Expert PDF Remediation Services are still there when you need them.
How it works
- The agent drafts alt text for images in a PDF.
- A team member reviews the results and accepts or edits each suggestion.
- Your team downloads the remediated PDF with the approved alt text.
Conversational Analytics Agent: set up Analytics by describing what you want
Setting up Key Metrics, Funnels, and Segments is complicated enough that many people stall before they reach the insight and settle for shallow traffic reporting. The updated Conversational Analytics Agent proposes the setup when you describe what you want in plain language, and you approve it.
Digital marketing and analytics leads get more from analytics they already pay for. Tell the agent your goal and it proposes an Analytics setup to measure it through events, Key Metrics, and Funnels, ready for you to review and approve. That works whether you know exactly what you need or have no idea where to start, and you don't need setup expertise to get there.
How it works
- Describe the outcome you want to measure, in plain language.
- The agent proposes the Key Metrics, Funnels, and Segments to track it.
- You approve the setup before tracking goes live, so you get to insight sooner.
Summary and how to get access
Siteimprove.ai brings content compliance and content performance together in one agentic platform, and this release strengthens both. The three accessibility capabilities strengthen content compliance, extending our system of record across the estate so every fix is verified against WCAG and recorded.
The Conversation Analytics Agent strengthens content performance, helping teams configure and get more value from their analytics. Competitors force a choice between fixing content and improving it. We do both.
Talk to your Siteimprove.ai account team about getting these agents set up for your team.
Finding problems is half the job – this release helps you fixing the other half faster.
