A calmer, safer companion bot — in one gentle kit.
If your bot is warm, empathetic or relationship-like, California's SB 243 may already treat it as a companion chatbot: duties live since 1 Jan 2026, annual crisis-referral reporting from 1 Jul 2027, and Colorado's Chatbot Safety Act joins 1 Jan 2027. CompanionGuard gives one bot everything it needs — free.
Disclosure snippet
An embeddable banner that tells every user, kindly and clearly, that they are talking with an AI — with the crisis line built in.
Hosted safety-protocol page
Your bot's public protocol page: what it is, its crisis resources and its data practices — the page SB 243 expects you to publish. You can edit it any time.
Crisis referrals, counted — never tracked
The referral component logs that it was shown or clicked. Counts only: no names, no IPs, no user identifiers, by design.
Break reminders for minors
When minor mode is on, the snippet gently offers a break at least every 3 hours for known minors.
