Is your website ready for the AI Act?
Since 2 August 2026, people in the EU must be told when they're talking to an AI, and realistic AI images must be labelled. Check your website in about 30 seconds, free.
The transparency rules in Article 50 apply. The 2026 "Digital Omnibus" delayed the high-risk rules, not these.
If your website chatbot answers with AI, or you post realistic AI images, the rules can apply to you.
The maximum fine for breaking Article 50. For small businesses and start-ups, the lower of the two applies.
What it checks, and what it can't.
It checks
- Whether your site has a chat widget, and whether it's an AI chatbot
- What your chatbot's settings in the page say, in each language your site has
- Images that carry AI-generation data (C2PA or IPTC tags) and whether they're labelled
- Whether visitors can generate content with AI on your site
- Whether you have a page that explains how you use AI
It can't
- Open your chat: we read its settings in your page's code, so a welcome message kept in your chat tool isn't seen
- See pages behind a login, or your phone and WhatsApp assistants
- Spot every AI image: if the file carries no AI data, we can't tell
- Judge whether your AI is high-risk under the AI Act
- Give legal advice. It's a check, not a lawyer's opinion
About the AI Act check.
Who has to say a chatbot is an AI?
The AI Act puts this duty on the provider of the chatbot: whoever builds it or puts it on the market under their name. A business that builds or brands its own bot can count as one. Whoever is responsible, the notice is missing on your website, in front of your customers. Adding one sentence settles it.
When did these rules start?
Article 50 applies from 2 August 2026. The 2026 "Digital Omnibus" delayed the high-risk rules to 2 December 2027 and 2 August 2028, but not Article 50. Generative AI tools already on the market before 2 August 2026 have until 2 December 2026 to add machine-readable marking.
How big are the fines?
Up to €15 million or 3% of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. For small businesses and start-ups it's whichever is lower.
What do you do with my website address and email?
We read your public pages for the check and keep the result for the report link. Your email is used only to send the report, after you confirm it. The privacy policy has the details.
Is the check really free?
Yes, as often as you like, no sign-up. If you want it repeated every month with fixes and dated proof, that's the AI Act Officer.
Is this legal advice?
No. The check tells you what it found and how to fix it. For your specific situation, ask a lawyer.
