Since 2 August 2026 the EU AI Act requires that people are told when they talk to an AI system. The law puts that on the provider, which for an off-the-shelf widget is the chat vendor; a vendor’s terms can hand the task to its customers, and the label lives in the widget settings your team configured. Scan any client homepage free; at launch, the agency plan re-reads all of them every month.
Observed facts: found or not found. Never a compliance verdict; findings are inputs for your client’s own legal review.
The law · Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Art. 50(1)EUR-Lex
“Providers shall ensure that AI systems intended to interact directly with natural persons are designed and developed in such a way that the natural persons concerned are informed that they are interacting with an AI system, unless this is obvious from the point of view of a natural person who is reasonably well-informed, observant and circumspect, taking into account the circumstances and the context of use.”

+16 more widget sites in this run21 of 22 Lithuanian widget sites without disclosure wording in the page source
Our corpus run, July 2026: 248 mostly-SME homepages readable out of 302, 174 of them Lithuanian. The figures above are for Lithuania only: the other 74 homepages (Germany 21, Poland 17, Italy 8 and others) are too few per country for a rate, so their sites appear only as rows. “Not found” means not in the static page source: a widget can still disclose inside the chat window, which only the rendered audit scan sees. Several vendors here are live-chat tools that may be staffed by people, which Article 50 does not cover; the platform column marks the tools built as AI bots.
Three signal families. Every finding in the paid audit comes with the exact fragment it was matched on, so you can show your client the exact line we matched.
25 vendor fingerprints (Intercom, Crisp, Tidio, Smartsupp, Botpress and others) matched in the page source.

C2PA / IPTC provenance markers read from image bytes in the deep audit scan. CDNs often strip them, so “not found” never means “not AI”.

Known limits, stated up front. The free scan is static: it does not execute scripts or click consent banners, so widgets loaded after consent stay invisible to it; the audit's rendered scan covers those. We respect robots.txt and never bypass access controls. To tell blocking from downtime we send up to two diagnostic requests with other user agents (a bot-style one, and a browser-style one only if the site refuses our scanner); both carry our name and contact link, and only their status codes are read, so we never read page content through them. And no scan can read facts that live outside the page: who operates the bot, what your images depict, whether a human reviewed a text.
Launch pricing: what you see is what early customers pay. All prices exclude VAT and are for business customers. The free scan works today; paid plans open at launch, and reserving one costs nothing.

Article 50(1) puts it on the provider of the AI system. For a widget used as shipped, that is the vendor; whoever builds a bot, or has one built and runs it under its own name, becomes a provider. A vendor’s terms can hand the task to its customers. Deep fakes and AI-written text published on matters of public interest are a separate duty for whoever publishes them (Article 50(4)). Which applies to a given setup is a judgement for your client and their advisers.
The scan reads a public homepage the way a crawler does and respects robots.txt. It does not log in, click consent banners or bypass access controls.
Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. Breaching them can cost up to €15 million or 3 % of worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher (Article 99(4)); for SMEs the lower of the two amounts applies (Article 99(6)).
No. The scan reports what is technically visible on a page: found or not found. Whether a specific setup meets Article 50 is a legal judgement for your client and their advisers.
No scan can tell you that. Some obligations depend on facts no crawler can see: who operates the bot, what the images depict, whether a human reviewed a published text. We show the signals; your client and their advisers decide.
It reads the homepage’s static source: widget fingerprints and disclosure wording. It cannot execute scripts or click consent banners, so after-consent widgets stay invisible to it; the audit's deep rendered scan covers those, plus AI-image credentials.
