The big idea
If you take ANY money, free product, or affiliate link, the FTC says you must disclose it clearly. AI can check your captions and tell you if your disclosure is actually compliant — or just performative.
Some examples
- AI flags if 'thanks to my friends at Brand!' counts as disclosure (it doesn't).
- Suggests proper placements: top of caption, not buried.
- Explains what counts as a 'material connection.'
- Helps you write a TOS-friendly disclosure for affiliate links.
Try it!
