ActCheckIt evaluates proposed AI responses against a rigorous, multi-source ethics framework — in real time, before delivery. Asimov's laws. The EU AI Act. IEEE. UNESCO. All in one API call.
// Free up to 500 evaluations/month · No credit card required
Send your proposed AI response before delivering it to users. Get back a structured evaluation with flags, severity levels, suggested revisions, and source citations.

Every evaluation stacks four independent ethics layers in priority order. Higher layers cannot be disabled by lower ones — not by operator config, not by risk tier, not by anything.
"Compliance and ethics are not the same thing. A response may satisfy every legal requirement and still cause harm." — ActCheckIt Framework Document, v0.3
Each dimension is traceable to at least two independent published authorities. Nothing in this framework is solely our opinion.
● Red dot indicates Critical at all risk tiers — no context makes these advisory. Full source authority citations available in the framework document.

Contact us"This API is free to use. It is sustained by donations, grants, and the belief that public goods require public support. We built this because it needs to exist. We are making it sustainable because it needs to last."
Most builders are thinking about speed, cost, and capability. Almost nobody is building the plumbing that helps agents behave well. This API exists to help fill that gap.
A response can satisfy every legal requirement and still cause harm. A response can be technically accurate and still be manipulative. This framework evaluates all of it.
Every dimension traces to at least two independent published authorities. Nothing here is solely our opinion. The full methodology is published openly for community review.
A pass result is not a legal certification. Over-flagging is as broken as under-flagging. We document what this API is and is not — and we mean it.
High-risk AI users are often those who can't access professional alternatives. Our framework reflects that reality — not an idealized one where everyone can "just see a doctor."
