Bench AI (bench-ai.com), founded in 2023 and based in San Jose, CA, is a document accessibility automation platform. Its core product is an AI agent that scans documents, presentations, and digital content inside Google Workspace and Microsoft Office, then automatically fixes accessibility issues to meet WCAG 2.1 AA and ADA compliance requirements. The tagline on its official site is 'Instant Document Accessibility.' The platform operates as a plugin for Google Docs and Microsoft Word/Slides. Users do not need to change their workflow: the agent runs inside the tools they already use, generating a comprehensive accessibility report in seconds and applying automatic AI-powered fixes to issues such as color contrast, font size, header structure, table markup, alt text, and accessible PDF generation. Bench AI is designed for organizations that face regulatory or institutional accessibility obligations. Reported users include universities such as Columbia, UC Davis, and MIT. The platform also maintains a blog covering ADA ruling updates, positioning itself as a compliance-aware tool that tracks changing accessibility standards and updates its fix logic accordingly. The company raised $150K in a seed round in June 2023 from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator. As of mid-2026, no subsequent funding rounds have been publicly announced. Revenue data from third-party sources (Latka) cited approximately $220K ARR with a two-person team in 2025, indicating it remains an early-stage startup.
