GitHub transformed their manual accessibility compliance workflow into an automated system using GitHub Copilot in just five hours. The new workflow automatically creates and updates issues when accessibility grades drop, syncs assignees, cross-references tracking boards, and closes issues when compliance is restored. By using Copilot for rapid prototyping through iterative conversations, a domain expert built the prototype without requiring dedicated engineering resources, reducing remediation time from weeks to days and enabling leadership visibility into compliance status.
