Design · 4 min read

SketchCore unveiled its long-teased vector editor today, emphasizing an AI-guided accessibility workflow that flags contrast, touch target size, and semantic labeling issues as designers work. The editor generates suggestions inline and can create accessible variants for responsive breakpoints.

Alongside the product launch, SketchCore announced a $12 million Series A led by OpenScaled, earmarked for improving ML models and hiring accessibility specialists. The funding is positioned to help the company refine its automated remediation features, not just flag issues.

Design teams testing the beta highlighted the time saved during compliance checks and the editor's ability to generate ARIA-ready component templates. SketchCore’s founding team highlighted a roadmap that includes plug-ins for popular design systems and deeper Figma import/export compatibility.
