    The AI angle

    Stark standalone vs AI

    AI augments this tool
    Go further with AI

    Stark added AI suggestions to generate image alt text and automatically check accessibility, but remains an accessibility audit tool (contrast, readability) integrated into design tools.

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Stark with an AI? No: verifying real compliance with accessibility standards (WCAG) requires precise rules, not just generation. AI helps draft alt text, it doesn't replace compliance auditing. Verdict: AI augments alt text writing, compliance auditing remains technical.
