Context-Aware

An approach to designing systems, content, or interfaces that adapt their behavior or output based on the context in which they are used, including the user's goals, the platform or source where content appears, environmental conditions, and user preferences. In accessibility, context-aware design is particularly important for image descriptions, where the same image may require different alt text depending on whether it appears on a news site, an e-commerce platform, or a social media feed. Context-aware systems aim to provide more relevant and useful information by considering not just what content exists, but how and why a user is encountering it.
