„The award by Gartner confirms our human-first philosophy, in which the knowledge and empathy of human experts are reinforced by the speed and scope of automation and AI“, so Shilpi kapoorFounder and CEO of barrierbreak. “We are not concerned with the fulfillment of regulatory regulations. For us, digital experiences must really be inclusive and usable for everyone.”
In Market Guide 2025 it says:
“Today’s platforms are becoming more and more intelligent, proactive and company-friendly. They offer a combination of automation, AI-based knowledge and human-centered tools that help companies operationalize accessibility across the entire software development cycle.” – Gartner Market Guide for Digital Accessibility, 2025

Barrierbreak enables companies to ensure compliance with regulations such as WCAG, ADA, EAA and Section 508 and at the same time embed the accessibility in the life cycle of software development.
Ensuring accessibility using the A11YNEW platform
The heart of the barrierbreak strategy is the A11YNOW platformThe company helps to ensure the conformity of their digital resources through accessibility. A11YNOW combines automatic scanning, detailed troubleshooting and AI to support the implementation of accessibility. It offers extended control rates for reducing false alarms, assigns certain problems developers or designers and includes a Helpdesk function that enables direct access to experts for assistive technologies and manual screen reader tests.
This model coincides with Gartner’s knowledge that in the practice of usability tests, AI improves automation and recognition, but cannot fully replace the nuanced judgment of human experts.
