AI Transparency Scanner
Free automated scanner that checks public websites for AI disclosure compliance with EU AI Act Article 50
About AI Transparency Scanner
This tool performs an automated technical scan of publicly accessible website pages to identify AI chatbot widgets and required disclosure text under EU AI Act Article 50. It checks for common chat platforms such as Intercom, Tidio, Zendesk, Crisp, Drift, HubSpot, Tawk, and Freshchat, as well as custom implementations. The scanner also looks for English-language text that informs users they are interacting with AI. The output is an instant compliance report that shows each detection with evidence, including the specific script, widget, or element that triggered the result. The report highlights what was found and what could not be checked, such as pages behind login walls or region-gated content. It also provides a PDF summary mapped to relevant Article 50 obligations, including the scan date and the URL accessed. The tool is designed for providers and deployers of AI systems interacting with people in the EU, offering a starting point for compliance assessment rather than legal determination.
