California’s bot disclosure law has been live since 2019 and its companion-chatbot law since January. Colorado, Washington and Oregon follow on 1 January 2027. Nobody on your team can tell you which of those reach the widget on your checkout page, what it currently discloses, or when anyone last checked.
Buy Now — $19There is no shortage of law-firm commentary on chatbot disclosure. There is nothing that tells you which of your own bots is exposed.
Tick the states a bot can reach and pick what it does. A sales bot in California pulls the B.O.T. Act; a companion bot pulls SB 243 instead; a support bot in Colorado pulls a rule that has not started yet. The register works that out for each record.
A requirement nobody has checked is never quietly counted as met. It sits in its own band until someone answers it, so a half-configured bot cannot pass for a compliant one.
Rules that start on 1 January 2027 are tracked as a readiness target rather than a failure today. A bot can be compliant now and still show a gap against next year.
One printable page per bot: which laws reach it, what the live deployment implements, the exact disclosure wording on record, when it was last reviewed and by whom.
Eight example bots, every status band populated. This is the built-in example roster.

Opening disclosure, repeat reminders in long sessions, minor-specific safeguards, a crisis escalation route, a working handover to a human, and records you could hand a regulator. Each answered in place, not in place, or not yet assessed.
One row per law: what it applies to, the disclosure it expects, the timing, how minors are treated, the exposure, and the specific thing to double-check before you rely on it.
Which requirement is missing on the most bots, and how many records are still unassessed. It is usually one requirement on several bots, not several on one.
