Klaro
Klaro
AI-powered browser extension that makes the web accessible for everyone.
The Problem
1.3 billion people globally live with a disability that affects how they use the internet. That's 16% of the world's population. Despite this, 95% of the top million websites still fail basic accessibility standards.
This isn't just a social failure — it's a massive business leak. 86% of users with disabilities leave a site immediately if it's not accessible, representing over $13 trillion in purchasing power walking away.
The Solution
Klaro puts the power back in the user's hands. Instead of waiting for websites to fix themselves, Klaro stores your individual needs in a personal profile. Whether you have low vision, dyslexia, or motor impairments, our AI automatically re-renders every site you visit in real-time.
We offer ambient personalization that adapts the web to you — not the other way around.
Key Features
- Personal Accessibility Profile — Set your preferences once, apply everywhere
- AI-Powered Re-rendering — Automatically transforms any website to match your needs
- Real-time Adaptation — Works instantly as you browse
- Onboarding Flow — Simple setup for font size, spacing, and contrast preferences
