What the AI Act asks of your chatbot

Article 50 has applied since August. Six questions about one tool, eight if it generates content, and this page returns the duties you owe, who carries each one, when it is due and the sentence to publish. The answers stay in this tab unless you ask us to email you the result, and an account is never needed.

83days until machine-readable marking is due on anything that was already running.

AI Act transparency check

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 50

A scoping result produced from the answers given on the page. It says which conversation you are in. It is not legal advice, and it is current as at the date it was printed.

This is a scoping result worked out from your own answers. It tells you which conversation you are in. It is not legal advice, and it is not a determination that you comply.

What was answered

Optional, and nothing in the answer depends on it. It goes into the wording you can publish, and onto the result if you print it.

Did you build it, or buy it?
01Did you build it, or buy it? Not answered

Did you build it, or buy it?

Built covers more than writing code. Putting your own name on somebody else's tool, changing how it works, or using it for something it was not sold for all count. Bought means off the shelf, as supplied.

Do your own customers use it?
02Do your own customers use it? Not answered

Do your own customers use it?

Not whether they see the output. Whether the tool itself is part of what you sell or supply to them.

Does it hold a conversation with a person?
03Does it hold a conversation with a person? Not answered

Does it hold a conversation with a person?

A website chatbot, a phone assistant, a support agent answering in your inbox.

Does it produce text, images, audio or video?
04Does it produce text, images, audio or video? Not answered

Does it produce text, images, audio or video?

Drafting posts, writing replies, making images for ads, reading a script aloud.

Does it work out how somebody feels, or sort people by how they look or sound?
05Does it work out how somebody feels, or sort people by how they look or sound? Not answered

Does it work out how somebody feels, or sort people by how they look or sound?

Sentiment scoring on calls, tone analysis on support tickets, anything reading a face or a voice.

Was it already running on 2 August 2026?
06Was it already running on 2 August 2026? Not answered

Was it already running on 2 August 2026?

Anything in service before that date gets until 2 December 2026 for the marking duty. Anything switched on since owes it now.

Answer them all and the duties appear here.

This covers Article 50 only

Transparency is one part of the Act. It says nothing about whether a system is prohibited, whether it is high risk, or whether you have taken the measures Article 4 asks for on staff AI literacy. It also says nothing about the GDPR, which applies to the same systems at the same time.

We keep the full record for clients: every AI system in the business, the role you hold in each, the duties that follow, and the evidence that they were met. Read the deadline that moved and the one that did not for the rest of it.
