Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Preparing and Starting Navi’s Review

Before Navi can begin scanning, load the target page into Atarim’s Visual Collaboration (Canvas) View. Navi assess usability, structure, and accessibility in real context. How to Run an AI-Powered Page Review

Tip: Use Navi when reviewing navigation, forms, modals, or pages that need to meet WCAG standards or mobile usability benchmarks.

Step 2: Navi Scans for Friction Points

Navi begins scanning your page automatically. She works quietly in the background and evaluates your page for navigation, accessibility, and flow issues.

Note: Navi’s scan does not interrupt your workflow. You can continue collaborating in Canvas View while her findings are processed. When complete, her recommendations appear as visual stickers pinned directly to the areas she flagged.

What Navi Checks

User Flow & Interaction Clarity

• Dead-end paths (e.g., CTAs that go nowhere)
• Confusing navigation sequences or circular flows
• Redundant steps in forms or onboarding
• Buried or hidden CTAs (call-to-action buttons)
• Empty states with no guidance or visual feedback
• Conflicting or stacked CTAs in hero sections
• Poor tab order or navigation hierarchy

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1+)

• Low contrast between text and background
• Incorrect heading hierarchy (e.g., H4 before H2)
• Missing ARIA labels and roles on buttons, modals, and forms
• Missing alt text on images or functional icons
• Keyboard trap issues (e.g., modals that can’t be closed with keyboard)
• No visible focus indicators for tabbed navigation
• Missing skip-to-content or accessibility navigation structure

Mobile & Touch Optimization

• Tap targets too small (less than 44px on mobile)
• Overlapping content or broken layouts at small breakpoints
• Interactive elements that disappear or shift on mobile
• Scroll-lock problems on touch devices
• Unresponsive gestures or swipe areas not working

Form & Modal Experience

• Unlabeled input fields
• No error feedback after invalid form submission
• No success confirmation (e.g., form submits silently)
• Dropdowns or buttons that aren’t screen-reader friendly
• Modals that trap focus or lack a close function
• Multi-step forms missing progress indicators or next/prev cues
• Over-complicated or unnecessary form fields

Recommendation: Use Navi during early design review stages to reduce rework and catch usability issues before they reach development.

Step 3: Review Navi’s Feedback

When the scan completes, Navi places feedback stickers on affected UI areas.

Each sticker includes:

• A clear, human-readable description
• Context on why the issue matters (e.g., “Fails WCAG 2.1 AA contrast ratio”)
• Precise location on the canvas (when tied to an element)

“Ensure the whole card anchor has a clear keyboard focus state. — The card is a link but relies on subtle styles; keyboard users may not see focus. Add a distinct outline or elevated ring on :focus and ensure it is visible against the dark surface to aid keyboard navigation..”

Note: Navi focuses on usability from a user’s point of view, her feedback considers accessibility, interaction clarity, and navigational logic.

Step 4: Act on Navi’s Suggestions

You can decide what to do with each suggestion directly from Canvas View.

Instructions:

• Keep (click or swipe right) → Accepts Navi’s recommendation
• Hide (click or swipe left) → Dismisses the suggestion if it doesn’t apply to your project.
• Assign the task, update its status, or add a follow-up question → Converts the suggestion into a task you can manage in your workflow.

Tip: Use tags like #accessibility, #navi, or #usability to organize your review tasks and delegate efficiently.

Step 5: Multi-Agent Collaboration with Navi

Instead of reviewing usability in isolation, Navi’s insights combine with the strengths of her peers to give you a multi-dimensional audit. Together, the Inner Circle acts as a collaborative QA team, with Navi leading on user flow and accessibility, while the others ensure design, copy, and functionality all align for a seamless user experience.
