Creator economy

Create. Validate. Earn.

Ability Bazaar positions people with disabilities as creators, testers and entrepreneurs - not only as users of assistive solutions. You bring the lived experience; AI tools can assist planning and prototyping, while people review the results.

The creator journey

  1. Apply

    Join the creator programme as a PwD creator or a PwD-led mixed team. Tell us about your skills and lived experience; the team will explain the current participation options.

  2. Build with AI

    Describe the problem in plain language. The AI App Builder Agent drafts the workflow, prompts, outputs, guardrails and listing.

  3. Validate

    Paid PwD testers check usefulness, accessibility and safety. A prototype needs human review and validation before release.

  4. Publish and earn

    Publication, access and any paid work are agreed with the team after review. A validated project can contribute to your portfolio.

Ways to participate and grow

Marketplace revenue share

A broader marketplace and revenue-sharing arrangements are proposed. Any fees, eligibility and payment terms must be agreed before work starts.

Sponsored creator challenges

Sponsored challenges are a potential future route. The team will confirm whether a specific opportunity is open, funded and suitable.

Enterprise mini-app builds

Enterprises commission custom accessible tools. Creator teams build them; PwD testers validate them.

Professional portfolios

Every published, validated app is verifiable proof of skill - a portfolio that opens doors to employment and contracts.

AI runs the platform with you

Disability-led, not disability-exclusive

PwD creators and testers shape priorities, validate quality and participate economically - that is non-negotiable. Allies, technical partners and university teams are welcome to contribute within that framework.
