Overview
AltForge is a bulk alt-text generator built for accessibility compliance
workflows — targeting universities, e-commerce stores, and agencies preparing
for WCAG 2.1 AA audits.
Instead of writing alt-text one image at a time, users upload a CSV, crawl a
website, or batch-upload a folder of images, and AltForge classifies each
image (informative, decorative, functional, complex, or text-in-image),
generates WCAG-aligned alt-text, and flags anything that needs human review
rather than falsely claiming full compliance.
Includes:
- Free homepage sample flow (single/batch image upload, no login) with
CAPTCHA-gated results to drive signups - Full classification + automated rule-check scoring engine (not just a
raw AI call — deterministic checks layered on top) - Batch-level accessibility readiness score and custom tier system
- Stripe billing (one-time credit packs + subscription tier)
- Resend-based transactional and drip email system
- Terms of Service drafted specifically to avoid false compliance claims —
a real risk area in this niche that most competitors overlook
Why acquire it: the accessibility compliance space has real regulatory
urgency right now — the DOJ's Title II ADA rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA
conformance for public institutions by April 2027, giving buyers of this
codebase a live, dated market need rather than a speculative one. This is a
working MVP, not yet revenue-generating — ideal for a buyer who wants a
head start on a validated niche rather than a turnkey cash-flowing business.
