Abstract (arXiv)

Agentic Web Browsers (AWBs), powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), are emerging as autonomous systems capable of navigating the Web on behalf of users. Beyond enhancing productivity, they could also offer significant promise as Assistive Technologies (ATs) for visually-impaired individuals, transforming web interaction into a fluid conversational exchange. In this paper, we present a case study with a low-vision technology expert, examining how AWBs can support visually-impaired users in web navigation. The findings show that, despite the current limitations, the navigation experience is notably fluid and flexible, underscoring the strong potential of AWBs to enhance accessibility and reduce barriers in web interaction, with implications that may extend beyond accessibility to agentic UX more broadly.
