Free custom GPT

Affiliate Disclosure Generator & FTC Checker

Generate an FTC-compliant affiliate disclosure for your blog, YouTube, social, email, or AI chat - or paste your existing disclosure and get a compliance audit with specific fixes. It knows the 2023 FTC Endorsement Guides and the Amazon Associates rules.

Free to use. Runs inside ChatGPT - no signup with us required.

Two jobs: write the disclosure, or check the one you have.

Most tools only generate boilerplate. This one also audits real content - a blog post, a caption, a video description, an email, or a live URL - and tells you exactly where a disclosure is missing, buried, or too vague, and how to fix it.

What it does

Grounded in the FTC's own guidance and the Amazon Associates agreement, not generic web text.

Generate a disclosure

Answer a couple of quick questions - your platform and which affiliate programs you use - and get a short, plain-language disclosure for in-content placement, plus a longer version for a dedicated page, and exactly where to put each one.

Includes the exact Amazon Associates line when it applies

Audit existing content

Paste a disclosure, post, caption, or video description - or share a URL - and get a verdict (Compliant / Needs fixes / High risk), a severity-ranked list of issues with the rule each one breaks, and a concrete rewrite for each.

Flags placement, proximity, and clarity problems, not just missing text
Sample audit output
Needs fixes
High severity

Your only disclosure sits in the site footer, far below the first affiliate link in the post.

Fix: Add a plain-language line - "I earn a commission if you buy through my links" - directly above the first product link, on every post that contains one.
Medium severity

The phrase "affiliate link" on its own is not clear and conspicuous under the FTC Endorsement Guides.

Fix: Spell out the relationship in words a typical reader understands, rather than a bare label.

Illustrative example. Real audits are tailored to the content you paste.

Common questions

What is the Affiliate Disclosure Generator & FTC Checker?

It's a free custom GPT that does two things: it writes an FTC-compliant affiliate disclosure tailored to your platform, and it audits your existing disclosures, posts, captions, or video descriptions for compliance problems and gives you specific fixes.

Is it free?

Yes. It runs inside ChatGPT and is free to use. You don't need an account with us - just open it in ChatGPT and start.

Can it check my existing disclosure or blog post?

Yes - that's the differentiator. Paste your disclosure, a full post, a caption, an email, or a video description, or share a URL, and it returns a verdict, a severity-ranked list of issues, and a concrete rewrite for each one.

What does the FTC require for affiliate disclosures?

Disclosures must be clear, conspicuous, and in plain language, placed before or right near the first affiliate link on every page or post that has one. A single site-wide disclosure page is not enough on its own. The GPT enforces these rules from the FTC's 2023 Endorsement Guides.

Does it cover Amazon Associates?

Yes. It knows the exact required statement ("As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases"), plus the Operating Agreement rules - such as not using Amazon affiliate links in email or offline content, and not cloaking links.

Does it work for YouTube, Instagram, and email?

Yes. It handles platform specifics: video needs the disclosure in the video itself plus the description, social captions need it before the "more" cutoff, and email needs it near the top. It also covers podcasts and AI chat surfaces.

Is this legal advice?

No. It gives general, practical guidance grounded in FTC and Amazon rules, and it will tell you when a situation is genuinely ambiguous. For high-stakes cases, consult an attorney.

Who built it?

ChatAds - the free embeddable AI chat widget for blogs that monetizes reader conversations with in-line affiliate links. We built this because disclosure compliance is a real headache for the publishers we work with.
