Our Story
Driven to use AI to restore access and serve humanity
AI-Powered Accessibility
The Web Was Meant to Bring Us Together
For more than 30 years, we have been building for the internet. We watched it grow from a curiosity into the backbone of modern life. At its best, the web was designed to give everyone access to information, services, and opportunity. But somewhere along the way, that promise began to erode.
As the web became more dynamic, it also became harder to use. As content multiplied, usability declined. Today, with AI accelerating content creation at unprecedented speed, the digital world is noisier, messier, and more overwhelming than ever. For millions of people, the web is no longer a tool. It has become a barrier.
We do not believe this happened out of neglect or bad intent. No developer sets out to exclude users. But when teams are stretched thin, websites grow faster than they can be maintained, and accessibility slips lower and lower on the priority list. The result is a web that works for some, but not for all.
Turning the Tide on AI
Our founders were early practitioners in artificial intelligence and began working with large language models as soon as they emerged. From the beginning, the focus was not on using AI to generate more content. The web already had enough of that.
The real question was whether AI could be used to understand existing content, identify where it fails people, and repair what was broken.
Accessibility has always mattered deeply to us, so we asked a different question than most: What if AI could be used not to add noise to the web, but to reduce it? What if the same technology increasing complexity could also restore clarity and usability? That question became our mission.
Not to build AI that produces more pages, but AI that strengthens the connection between people and the information and services they rely on.
Built for the Web as It Exists Today
Accessibility approaches have evolved alongside the web itself. As websites became larger, more dynamic, and continuously updated, accessibility needed to adapt as well.
Recent advances in coding focused AI made it possible to address accessibility in ways that were not previously achievable. Connectivo was built to take advantage of these capabilities, using AI to understand existing code, identify accessibility barriers, and apply precise corrections in real time as content is delivered. Accessibility becomes part of the delivery process itself, allowing organizations to publish freely while users receive experiences that are usable, inclusive, and reliable.
Why We Focus on Education and Government
Our focus on education and government is intentional and deeply personal. In the commercial world, users often have alternatives. If one site fails them, they can go elsewhere. In education and public services, that choice rarely exists. When a student cannot register for classes or a citizen cannot access essential services, there is no backup option.
These institutions carry the greatest responsibility to serve everyone, yet they often face the strictest budget constraints and the most complex environments. Accessibility is not less important there. It is more important.
Connectivo was built to be the partner these organizations need, not another burden they must manage.
We Have Sat in Your Chair
This work is not theoretical for us.
One of our founders spent years in higher education, first as a CIO and later as a Provost. We understand the realities of institutional leadership: the pressure of limited budgets, the responsibility to students and staff, and the constant need to do more with less.
We know accessibility must deliver real value, not just compliance. That understanding shaped Connectivo from the beginning. The platform was designed to produce measurable impact and meaningful return on investment, because that is what institutions actually need to survive and succeed.
Connectivo was not built for higher education and public institutions from the outside.
It was built from within.
