Alt Text Generator

I developed and integrated an AI-powered alt text generator into our Contentful and WordPress platforms, enabling seamless and consistent alt text generation across multiple teams. Built with Next.js, AWS, Python, and OpenAI, the app generates high-quality, brand-aware alt text directly within users' workflows, enhancing both accessibility and SEO. By embedding this tool into our CMS platforms, I streamlined content creation, reducing manual effort while ensuring compliance with accessibility standards.

The Challenge

Alt text was frequently missing or inconsistently applied across our platforms, creating accessibility gaps and compliance risks. The manual process was time-consuming, and existing text generators failed to produce descriptions that aligned with our brand's voice and product-specific imagery.

The Solution

I built a dynamic AI alt text generator tailored to Workhuman's brand elements, incorporating voice, tone, and product offerings to generate accurate, accessible alt text. The tool offers three distinct implementation methods—custom CMS integration, a standalone UI, and API connectivity—allowing teams to generate alt text efficiently across various workflows.
