AI agent
An AI assistant that browses websites and completes tasks on a person’s behalf, reading pages through the accessibility tree.
An AI agent, or agentic browser, is an assistant that can open websites, read them, and act on them for a person: compare products, fill a form, or complete a purchase. It does not see the page the way a person does. It works from the page’s structure, and Google’s Lighthouse documentation says agents review the accessibility tree to find interactive elements.
That makes the same fixes count twice. A button with no name, an image with no description, or a form field with no label blocks a person using a screen reader and an agent alike. We do not have a measured figure for traffic from agents, and we do not make one up.
