The big idea
FTC fines reach $50,000 per missing disclosure. AI can tell you exactly when to say #ad, where to put it, and how to keep the post still feeling natural.
How to use it
- Ask AI when a free product triggers the disclosure rule
- Ask AI where to place #ad on TikTok, Reels, and YouTube
- Ask AI for compliant alternatives to #ad
- Ask AI for the disclosure your sponsor's contract requires
Try it
Audit your last 10 sponsored posts. Ask AI which ones need updated disclosure and edit them today.
