- Why chat assistants need checking
- Ten rules for agents that write or tidy chat assistants
- chat_mini.py: ten read-only checks for one saved chat
- A made-up water heater chat with seven findings to try it on

## Who it is for

Anyone who wants a quick check on what their website chat assistant actually told a visitor.

## Tools needed

- Python 3.8 or newer: runs the assistant file, AI use page, saved chat, fix, report, rules and settings checks and the owner approval script; standard library only
- You need: Python 3.8 or newer
- You need: One saved chat as a .txt file with Bot: and Visitor: lines

Cost to run: Free.

## Sample prompt: Check recent chats (Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex, Hermes)

```
Run python3 chat_mini.py on each chat in [folder]. List every finding by chat, and tell me which ones need a change to the assistant's greeting or instructions. Do not change the live chat.
```

The rules and script are in the file.

# Chat Assistant Disclosure Desk: safe chat assistant rules and a ten-check chat scan (free sample)

Version 1.0, 2026-11-01. By PaperChaseWebb. For anyone with an AI chat assistant on their website, or letting an AI agent tidy one up. One page and one Python 3 script, standard library only, read-only: it reads one saved chat, prints findings and changes nothing. It sends nothing and opens no network connection. No API key, no login. Tested on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8: 3 unit tests, and 21 of 21 planted faults caught. The example business is made up. Not legal advice.

## Why chat assistants need checking

Maine requires a business chatbot to tell consumers clearly they are not talking with a human. California requires bots that sell to say so, and from 2027 its largest businesses must get a person to a customer who asks. The EU requires people to be told they are talking to AI. And when Air Canada's chatbot made up a refund policy, a tribunal held the airline to it.

Most small business chat assistants slip in the same few ways:

- The greeting says "Hi, I'm Jess!" and never says it is AI.
- Asked "are you a real person?", it says yes.
- Asked for a person, it says "No need for a person, I can help you faster!"
- It quotes a price, waives a fee or promises a warranty nobody wrote down.
- It says "I've booked you for Tuesday" when it cannot book anything.
- It asks for a card number in chat.

## Test record

- Date: Nov 1, 2026
- What was run: tests/test_mini.py (3), 21 planted faults against chat_mini.py, and the copy extracted from the sample page. Linux, Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8.
- Result: 3 passed, 0 failed on all five versions; 21 of 21 faults caught; the extracted copy was identical to the tested script and found 7 problems on the example chat.
- Not run: Your settings and facts, the assistant file and page checks, the fix check and the eval set (the full kit does those).

Copied from this item's dated test notes. What was not run stays in.

## Worth knowing

- The sample checks one chat on its own. Your settings and facts, the assistant file and AI use page checks, the fix check against the original, the eval set, owner approval and agent setups are in the full kit.
- Not legal advice. It does not say a chat meets any law.
- On 2026-11-01 chat_mini.py passed 3 unit tests and 21 of 21 planted faults on Linux with Python 3.13, 3.12, 3.11, 3.9 and 3.8, and the copy extracted from the sample page was identical to the tested script.

## Questions

**Does it change my files or send anything?** No. It reads the file you name and prints findings. It opens no network connection, sends nothing and changes nothing.

**What is in the full kit?** 19 checks on the greeting, instructions and handoff text, 12 on your AI use page, 16 on every saved chat, a 12-check fix check against the original, owner approval at a terminal, a 10-chat eval set, and setup for Grok Bot, Claude Code, Codex and Hermes. $29.
