A Vision-Aid initiative Ability Bazaar - home

Creator economy

Create. Validate. Earn.

Ability Bazaar positions people with disabilities as creators, testers and entrepreneurs - not only as users of assistive solutions. You bring the lived experience; AI App Builder Agents handle the heavy lifting.

The creator journey

  1. Apply

    Join the creator programme as a PwD creator or a PwD-led mixed team. No code required - your lived experience is the qualification.

  2. Build with AI

    Describe the problem in plain language. The AI App Builder Agent drafts the workflow, prompts, outputs, guardrails and listing.

  3. Validate

    Paid PwD testers check usefulness, accessibility and safety. Nothing publishes until it passes lived-experience validation.

  4. Publish and earn

    Your tool reaches users worldwide. Earn through commissions, sponsored challenges and enterprise builds - and build a professional portfolio.

Four ways creators earn

Marketplace revenue share

Once the open marketplace matures, approved creators keep the majority share of paid tools - the platform commission is 15-25%.

Sponsored creator challenges

CSR programs and foundations fund challenges around defined problems. Creator teams compete, build and get paid.

Enterprise mini-app builds

Enterprises commission custom accessible tools. Creator teams build them; PwD testers validate them.

Professional portfolios

Every published, validated app is verifiable proof of skill - a portfolio that opens doors to employment and contracts.

AI runs the platform with you

  • Intake Agent

    Structures every customer request the moment it arrives - requirements in, actionable record out.

  • Scoping & Quoting Agent

    Sizes the work and prices it from the rate card - a real pricing decision, made in production and logged.

  • WCAG Scanner Agent (ABLE)

    Runs automated WCAG 2.2 scans with our ABLE engine, then triages and prioritizes every finding.

  • Report Drafting Agent

    Turns findings into clear audit reports and remediation guidance, ready for expert review.

  • Expert Scheduling Agent

    Routes each draft to the right expert with a disability for lived-experience verification - the one human gate, by design.

  • Invoicing & Follow-up Agent

    Assembles deliverables, invoices, tracks payment and handles customer follow-up.

Disability-led, not disability-exclusive

PwD creators and testers shape priorities, validate quality and participate economically - that is non-negotiable. Allies, technical partners and university teams are welcome to contribute within that framework.
