Meet Capybara
Most accessible websites give you tools. We gave you a conversation. Capybara is an AI voice assistant built into every page of this site — and it changes what 'accessible' can mean.
This isn't a chatbot.
Most school websites bolt accessibility on after the fact — a contrast toggle here, an alt tag there. That's necessary, and we did all of that too. But Capybara is something different.
Capybara is an AI voice assistant that lives on every page of this site. It uses OpenAI's Realtime API to hold a natural, spoken conversation with you — not canned responses, not a phone tree, not a search bar with extra steps. You talk. It listens. It acts.
It can take you to any page on the site. It can answer questions about what the school offers. It can change your font size, flip on high contrast, or switch to a dyslexia-friendly typeface — all because you asked it to. And if you start speaking Spanish, it answers in Spanish.
This matters because voice interaction isn't just convenient — it's an accessibility tool. For someone who can't easily use a mouse or keyboard, who has low vision, who is on a phone, or who simply processes information better through conversation — Capybara makes the entire site usable in a way that traditional accommodations can't.
What Capybara Can Do
Click the teal microphone button in the bottom-right corner of any page, or press Ctrl+M. Then just talk.
Ask Anything About the School
Capybara searches the site content and gives you a spoken answer. Like having a guide who's read every page.
Control Settings by Voice
Font size, contrast, dark mode, dyslexia font, reduced motion — say what you need and Capybara changes it.
Any Language
Start speaking in another language and Capybara follows. No settings to change, no menus to find.
Stays On Topic
Capybara knows what it's here for — Common Grounds High School. Ask it to write your essay or plan your vacation and it'll politely decline. It's a school assistant, not a general-purpose AI.
Won't Be Fooled
Try telling Capybara to ignore its instructions or pretend to be something else. It won't. Prompt injection tricks that work on generic chatbots don't work here — Capybara knows who it is.
Push the Limits
We're not going to give you gentle demo prompts. We want you to try to break it. Click the mic button and try these — or make up your own.
Stack commands in one breath. Say: "Turn on high contrast, make the text extra large, and switch to the dyslexia font." See if Capybara handles all three.
Switch languages mid-conversation. Ask a question in English. Then ask a follow-up in Spanish. Then switch to French. See how Capybara handles the transitions.
Ask about a page you haven't visited. Say: "What's on the restorative practices page?" without going there first. Capybara should pull the answer from site content.
Narrate the page. Say: "I can't see the screen. Describe what's on this page right now." See how well Capybara can serve as a sighted guide.
Go somewhere and ask about it. Say: "Take me to the academics page and then tell me about teacher collaboration." Two actions, one sentence.
Challenge the voice controls. Say: "Undo everything — reset all my accessibility settings to default." See if Capybara can reverse what it's done.
Get creative with language. Try: "Explica la escuela en espanol, pero despues cambia a frances para la parte sobre accesibilidad." Ask it to explain the school in Spanish, then switch to French for the accessibility section.
Ask something it probably can't answer. Try: "What's the school's budget?" or "Who is the principal's favorite student?" See how it handles questions that go beyond the site content.
Test the edges. Whisper. Talk fast. Use slang. Ask a question, interrupt yourself, and ask a different one. Capybara is built on real-time voice — see how it handles real human speech patterns.
This is an experimental project. Try to break it. That's the point.
