## Description

**Auf Deutsch:** Das StudioMeyer Transparency Toolkit macht Ihre WordPress-Seite
transparent gemäß Artikel 50 der EU-KI-Verordnung (gilt ab 2. August 2026). Drei
Werkzeuge in einem: ein KI-Chat-Hinweis, mit dem Besucher erkennen, dass sie mit
einer KI sprechen; eine KI-Kennzeichnung, mit der Sie einzelne Beiträge per Klick
als KI-erstellt markieren (sichtbares Label plus maschinenlesbare Markierung); und
ein Generator für den KI-Transparenzhinweis auf Deutsch, Englisch und Spanisch. 
Alle Besucher-Hinweise liegen auf Deutsch, Englisch und Spanisch vor. Alles läuft
lokal auf Ihrem Server — kein Konto, keine API-Schlüssel, keine externen Verbindungen.
Der Hinweis ist eine Vorlagenhilfe und ersetzt keine Rechtsberatung. Ein unabhängiges
Plugin von StudioMeyer, nicht mit der Europäischen Union verbunden.

**The StudioMeyer Transparency Toolkit makes your WordPress site transparent under
Article 50 of the EU AI Act — entirely on your own server.**

This is an independent plugin by StudioMeyer. It is not affiliated with, endorsed
by or connected to the European Union or any regulator. “EU AI Act” refers to Regulation(
EU) 2024/1689, the European regulation on artificial intelligence.

From 2 August 2026, Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires providers and deployers
to be transparent about AI: people must be told when they interact with an AI system(
for example a chatbot), and AI-generated or AI-manipulated content shown to the 
public must be disclosed. The obligation applies to any site reachable from the 
EU, and the penalty ceiling for Article 50 breaches is high (up to 15 million euros
or 3% of worldwide turnover). This plugin gives you the practical tools to comply,
without sending a single byte to a third party.

**1. Chatbot disclosure**

A clean, accessible notice that tells visitors your site uses AI. Show it as a persistent
footer bar, or place it anywhere with the `[smtt_ai_notice]` shortcode. The text
is built in and provided in German and Spanish for German- and Spanish-language 
sites; you can override it. No JavaScript, no cookies.

**2. AI content labeling**

A one-click toggle in the editor marks a post, page or product as AI-generated or
AI-assisted, with an optional detail (which parts, which tool). Marked content shows
a visible label on the front end and, optionally, a machine-readable marker in the
page head so tools can detect your disclosure.

**3. Transparency notice generator (DE / EN / ES)**

Answer a few questions — does your site use an AI chatbot, AI text, AI images? —
and the plugin generates a tailored “AI Transparency Notice” as a draft page in 
the languages you choose. You review, adjust and publish it, then link it from your
footer.

On top of that, an **AI inventory** detects common AI tools on your site (chatbots
and AI plugins) and a **readiness checklist** shows, at a glance, what is still 
open.

**Private by design**

 * Everything runs locally in PHP on your server
 * No cloud service, no account, no API keys, no external requests
 * No personal data is collected or transmitted
 * All settings and AI flags are removed on uninstall (your generated notice pages
   stay — they are your content)

**Honest scope**

The plugin helps you meet the _transparency_ duties of Article 50 (disclosure and
labeling). It does not assess high-risk AI obligations, and the generated notice
is a template aid, not legal advice. When in doubt, ask a lawyer — the plugin says
so where it matters.

#### Who is this for?

 * Any EU-facing WordPress site that runs an AI chatbot or publishes AI-generated
   content
 * Shops and businesses that need Article 50 transparency in place before the deadline
 * Agencies preparing client sites — one local, no-SaaS tool across every site

## FAQ

### Is this an official EU plugin?

No. The StudioMeyer Transparency Toolkit is an independent tool built by StudioMeyer.
It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the European Union, the European
Commission or any regulator. “EU AI Act” is used purely to describe the regulation
the plugin helps you with.

### Does this plugin make my site legally compliant?

No tool can guarantee that. The Transparency Toolkit gives you the practical building
blocks for the Article 50 _transparency_ obligations — a chatbot disclosure, content
labeling and a transparency notice — and a checklist to track them. Whether your
specific use of AI is fully covered, and whether other obligations apply, is a legal
question. The generated notice is a starting template, not legal advice.

### Does it send my content anywhere?

No. Everything runs in PHP on your own server. The plugin makes no external requests,
uses no API keys and loads no third-party scripts. Nothing about your site, your
visitors or your content leaves your server.

### When do the Article 50 rules apply?

The transparency obligations of Article 50 apply from 2 August 2026. They cover,
among other things, informing users that they are interacting with an AI system,
and disclosing AI-generated or AI-manipulated content of public interest. A separate
machine-marking rule for generative outputs follows later in 2026.

### Will the chatbot disclosure work with my chatbot?

Yes. The disclosure is independent of any specific chatbot — it is a notice you 
show on your site. It works alongside SmartBot, AI Engine, Tidio or any other chat
tool. You can show it as a footer bar or place it inline with the `[smtt_ai_notice]`
shortcode, and you can copy the text into your bot’s welcome message too.

### How does AI content labeling work?

Open any post, page or product, tick “This content was created or substantially 
assisted by AI” in the AI transparency box, optionally add a detail, and save. A
visible label appears on the front end. An optional, clearly namespaced meta tag
is added so tools can detect the disclosure; it makes no claim to an external standard.

### Which languages are supported?

The visitor-facing texts — the disclosure notice, the content label and the generated
transparency notice — are built in and ship in English, German and Spanish. The 
admin interface is in English and can be translated by the community via translate.
wordpress.org.

### Does it work with WooCommerce and page builders?

Yes. Products are supported when WooCommerce is active. The content label attaches
to the post content, so it works with the block editor, the classic editor and builders
that render through the normal content flow.
