AI Use Disclosure Builder

AI Use Disclosure Builder

Create a clear record of how AI contributed to your content.

Tell us how AI was used, what a person reviewed or changed, and where the content will be published. Create a disclosure based on those facts and review it before you use it.

Based on the information you provide
Review and edit before publishing
Short and detailed disclosure formats
No compliance guarantee

This tool helps you document AI use — it does not determine legal compliance

Disclosure requirements can depend on the type of content, how AI was used, the platform or organization involved, your location, and the surrounding context. This builder helps organize the facts you provide into a clear disclosure, but it does not determine whether a disclosure is legally required or guarantee that a particular statement satisfies any law, regulation, contract, school policy, employer policy, or platform rule.

Select the ways AI contributed to the content.

⚠️ Only select actions that actually occurred.

Why document AI use?

A clear disclosure can help readers, clients, colleagues, or audiences understand how AI contributed to a piece of content.

Be clearer with your audience

Explain the role AI played without making readers guess.

Keep your wording consistent

Use the same underlying facts to create short and detailed versions of a disclosure.

Keep a record of your process

Save the information you used to create a disclosure for future reference.

Prepare for platform or organization rules

Use your disclosure record as a starting point when a publisher, employer, school, client, or platform asks how AI was used.

What makes an AI disclosure useful?

It describes what actually happened

Do not claim human review, fact-checking, or editing unless those steps really occurred.

It is understandable

A disclosure should be written so the intended audience can understand the role AI played.

It is placed where people can notice it

A useful disclosure should not be hidden in a place where the intended audience is unlikely to see it.

It avoids unnecessary certainty

Do not describe a disclosure as legally approved, certified, or compliant unless you have an appropriate basis for that claim.

It reflects the final content

If the role of AI changes during editing or production, update the disclosure accordingly.

Common ways people use AI disclosures

Articles and blog posts

Explain whether AI assisted with brainstorming, drafting, editing, summarization, or translation.

Images and graphics

Describe whether an image was generated, edited, or transformed using AI.

Videos and audio

Document AI-generated or AI-assisted scripts, voices, visuals, editing, or other production steps.

Social media

Create a short disclosure when AI played a meaningful role in the post or media.

Client work

Keep a record of where AI contributed when clients or contracts require transparency.

School and research work

Record how AI was used, then check the specific rules of your school, publisher, instructor, or research organization before submitting work.

What this tool does not decide

A disclosure builder cannot determine every rule that may apply to a piece of content.

Whether disclosure is legally required

That can depend on jurisdiction, content type, context, audience, and other facts.

Whether your disclosure satisfies a law

The generated text is a drafting aid, not legal approval or certification.

Whether a platform will accept the content

Platforms can have their own labeling and disclosure requirements that may change over time.

Whether your employer or client requires more detail

Contracts, internal policies, and professional standards may impose additional requirements.

Whether your school permits a particular use of AI

Academic rules differ by institution, class, instructor, publisher, and assignment.

Avoid entering sensitive information

You normally do not need to provide confidential or personal information to create an AI use disclosure.

  • •Do not enter passwords, authentication codes, account numbers, or other secrets.
  • •Avoid pasting confidential client, employer, medical, legal, or financial information when a general description is enough.
  • •Only enter tool names or workflow details that you are comfortable including in your disclosure record.
  • •Review our Privacy Policy for current information about how requests and generated content are handled.

AI-assisted text generation may use third-party services

If you use the AI-assisted generation or rewriting features, the information you enter may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers for processing. Do not include confidential or sensitive information that is not needed to create the disclosure.

Review our Privacy Policy for current information about service providers, retention, and data handling.
