Vladyslav Bilenko || Semantic Vision

Hey @AnthropicAI, why does paying for Claude Pro look like a discriminatory joke? I am totally blind. Your provider @hCaptcha forces a screen reader user to solve 3D puzzles or pass a broken OAuth flow that crashes with raw JSON errors! Unacceptable UX. Fix your A11y!

We solved it. Our team (shoutout to our Vision Core devs) implemented a new layer of semantic logic. The system now understands: if a button displays a state, it requires an Intent Label. We are not just labeling; we are interpreting purpose in DeFi.

We are building Semantic Vision to give sight to blind DeFi users. This week, during live tests on Uniswap, we uncovered a critical "semantic blind spot". The core AI couldn't distinguish NOUN-states from VERB-actions on the Network & Token Selectors. It saw text, but not intent.

@miic_ug @senses_hub @GDIHub @Makerere @MakCoCIS @mofpedU @allanLule_ Hey @GDIHub! I’m a blind founder building Semantic Vision (AI for DeFi accessibility). I tried to reach your team via the website form and email, but both seem to be down today. Is there an alternative way to share my pitch deck with you?

Advancing Inclusive Speech Technology in Africa! 5 months ago together with @senses_hub and @GDIHub, we set out on the journey towards building inclusive speech technology for non-standard speech focusing on Research, AI Model development and product development and now in the final stretch, gearing up for the highly anticipated Demo Day this April, where participants will have the opportunity to compete for seed funding of up to €5,000. As part of this journey, we conducted a series of engagements with innovators on: ⚡ Innovation sprint 💡 Ideation and team formation 🧩 Codesigning and organization of people with disability (OPD) 🛠️ Technical build session 📊 Solution presentation and feedback 🎯 Technical mentorship 👨‍🏫 Technical mentorship and fine-tuning The sessions marked a significant milestone, where teams were able to develop functional products ready for user testing. #InnovateWithUs

The 2019 precedent showed how high the stakes are for digital products. While DeFi hasn't faced a collective accessibility wave yet, the landscape is changing. The EAA 2025 and new regulations are coming. Semantic Vision is already here to bridge the gap. #a11y #DeFi #web3‌‌

@Accessio_AI Exactly — static labeling breaks the moment a modal opens or a transaction state changes. That's why we use MutationObserver to catch every DOM update in real time. DeFi interfaces are living documents, not static pages.

@VB_SemanticV Runtime ARIA injection is a smart approach for DeFi interfaces where buttons change state constantly.

How Semantic Vision works: ① Scan page for unlabeled buttons ② AI analyzes context ③ ARIA labels injected into live DOM ④ NVDA announces: "Supply ETH button" No reload. No protocol changes. Under 2 seconds. Tested on Aave v3 👇 #a11y #DeFi #BuildInPublic

@RaffaySajjad @Layton_Gott True. For me, 'trying everything' meant building a custom AI layer when the industry said accessibility was 'too hard' to automate. That balance between vision and grit is where the real progress happens.

@Layton_Gott Don’t get married to your product but also don’t abandon it without tryijg everything that is in yoir control. It’s always a balance

Build one product and go all in? Or Build multiple products and see what sticks? Which is more likely to make you money?

@Accessio_AI Exactly - static labeling breaks the moment a modal opens or a transaction state changes. That's why we use MutationObserver to catch every DOM update in real time. DeFi interfaces are living documents, not static pages.

I don’t want to be "inclusive." I want to be exclusive. "Inclusive" is waiting for someone to open the door. "Exclusive" is building your own key — and owning the lock. I’m blind. I didn’t wait for DeFi to be accessible. I built the tool myself. #a11y #DeFi #BuildInPublic

Thanks Raffay — "retrofittable layer" is exactly the right framing. Zero changes on the protocol side, full accessibility on the user side. That's the only model that actually scales across hundreds of protocols.

@vkhosla Spot on, Vinod. AI isn't just automating old industries; it’s rebuilding the economic entry points. As a blind founder building an AI layer for DeFi, I see how legacy UX creates 'predictable decay' by excluding millions. AI is the only way to build truly accessible finance.

Totally agree. Sometimes the biggest risk you take is not taking risks. Now feels like that time. Predictable low variability path to slow decline or thoughtful risk taking

The EU Accessibility Act deadline passed in June 2025. Most DeFi protocols still aren't compliant. Semantic Vision fixes this — no protocol changes needed. @AaveAave — first tested on your protocol. 14/14 buttons labeled. 🔗 wislaw.github.io/Semantic-Visio… #a11y #DeFi #EAA2025

Private. Local. Fast. No more "silent" interfaces. Check out our journey and MVP here: 👉 wislaw.github.io/Semantic-Visio… #a11y #BuildInPublic #Web3 #SemanticVision #defidreams

I'm bringing the Word back to the void. My project, Semantic Vision, is a browser extension that doesn't ask developers for permission. It uses AI to analyze interfaces on the fly and inject meaningful labels directly into the UI..

I can't solve what I can't see. I’m done waiting for tech giants to notice "invisible" users. I decided to build the key myself. Semantic Vision is coming.

It’s ironic. An industry claiming to build "freedom and decentralization" is actually building digital prisons. Take those visual CAPTCHAs on major exchanges. For them, it’s bot protection. For me, it’s a locked door I was never given a key for.

But when I try to access a modern crypto service, I hit an invisible wall: "unlabelled button", "link". To me, that sounds like: "You’re not welcome here".

"In the beginning was the Word." But in today’s Web3, there is only silence. I lost my sight at 14. Since then, my world has been built on the words my screen reader speaks.
