This episode shows everyday business owners how an "Accessibility Concierge" AI employee can make customer-facing content usable for more people — without technical jargon. You’ll hear the simple business problem (missed customers and confusion when content isn’t accessible), a plain-English explanation of what an accessibility-focused AI does, and a concrete example for a small service business or nonprofit. I walk through the AI employee blueprint: name, role, tasks (captions, alt text, plain-language summaries, transcripts), inputs and outputs, what a human should check, and one clear success metric. Then we run a step-by-step workflow so you can picture it in your business, finish with one practical lesson about starting small, and an immediate action step you can complete this week. By the end you’ll know how this single AI employee can save hours, reduce customer friction, and protect your reputation — all without heavy tech skills.

Many small businesses lose customers not because of poor service but because people can’t access their information. Accessibility Ally is an episode that shows non-technical owners how an AI employee can scan emails, proposals, website copy, PDFs, and short videos to generate plain-language versions, alt text for images, transcripts, captions, and simplified PDFs—all without turning you into a tech expert. In 5 minutes we explain the business cost of inaccessible content, how an AI employee inspects inputs and produces ready-to-review outputs, and one concrete workflow you can implement this week. You’ll hear a real business example (a home-services company that missed repair calls because instructions were unclear for older and disabled customers), an AI employee blueprint you can copy, a quick step-by-step workflow, and a single action step to get started. The episode keeps human review central and focuses on simple, measurable wins.
