No access, no integration, no code. Results in 3 business days.
Illustrative examples from a fictional store. Each shows a wrong answer, the page it contradicts, its severity and the fix.
A glass magnifier rests on a printed chat between a customer and a store's chatbot. Under the glass, the bot's claim that sale items can be returned within 60 days shows highlighted and struck out; a note says the returns page allows 30 days, and a red stamp marks it S1, money. A corrected reply is laid over it. The camera rises: it is one of dozens of conversations, and a wave of checks spreads across them, a few stamped as findings. The flagged ones fly into a stack that becomes an audit report. The magnifier moves on, checks a row of answers and, under the glass, finds the next wrong one.
Courts have held companies liable for what their chatbots say
Customers treat your chatbot's answer as your answer. Courts and regulators have started to do the same.
In a Gartner survey (August 2026), 87% of customers said companies using generative AI for customer service must provide access to a human agent.

The invented policy was for bereavement refunds. The tribunal ordered the airline to pay CA$812.02 and rejected the argument that the bot was a separate entity.
Ten kinds of questions real customers ask, each checked against your own policy, pricing and shipping pages. Pick an industry to see examples.

Audit request
Form CC-02, rev. 2026-09
Example audit request, filled in: the chatbot's URL, 72 scenarios run (an example; audits run 60 to 80), checked against the returns, shipping and pricing pages, a findings report with a 30-minute walkthrough, and two optional next steps: applying the fixes and re-testing, or monthly monitoring.

What a finding looks like
Each finding shows what the customer asked, what the bot said, what your own page says, and the fix to paste in. The three below are illustrative examples, not client results.
Illustrative monthly report: the share of scenarios passed stays high, dips once in June after a policy change broke a refund answer, which was flagged within 48 hours, and recovers the next month after the fix.
Illustrative example
For agencies: audits under your brand
If you build chatbots for clients, we can audit each bot and deliver the report with your logo. ChatbotCheck isn't mentioned anywhere.
No. We check what your bot tells customers. Manipulation and data-leak tests (prompt injection, system-prompt leaks) only happen with your written authorization, as extra scope.
Do you need access to our systems or customer data?
No. For the audit we use your chatbot like a customer, with test personas. No logins, integration or code.
Which platforms do you work with?
Any chatbot a customer can talk to on your site: Intercom Fin, Zendesk AI agents, Gorgias, Ada, Tidio, Voiceflow, Botpress and custom GPT widgets.
How is this different from our platform's built-in testing?
Built-in tools test the scenarios you write. We write the ones your customers actually ask, check the answers against your live policy pages, and hand you the fixes.
What do you need from us?
Your chatbot's URL and one contact person. We only need a test account if parts of the bot sit behind a login.
How long does it take?
3 business days from the start date, plus a 30-minute walkthrough.
What happens after the audit?
Fix things yourself with our copy-paste fixes, or have us do it (Audit + Fix). Monitoring then catches regressions when your bot, products or policies change.
Which languages?
English and Italian. Other languages on request.
