Are we talking about the semantic code itself? In that case, it shouldn't be all that different - accessible semantics are pretty much set. Otherwise, in it's current proof-of-concept form, it produces a list of accessibility issues it discovers (a subset of ACE checks), and then lets the user click at the issue and jump to the spot; it also has some automatic fixes, such as adding missing language definitions and aria roles corresponding to their epub:types where those are missing. It then lets the user to view the standard Calibre diff to see what has changed.
One of the concepts in CAT is its semantic map editor, which allows the user to define parts of the document in terms of frontmatter, bodymatter, backmatter, and their roles (chapter, preface, etc.) - it can then use that information to create the semantic structure. It's still very basic, but the idea is that ultimately the user creates a semantic map of the document based on its contents, and CAT does the actual semantic tagging where it can automatically do so, and provides an interface to manually edit those parts that need human review (like image alt text or landmarks).
