Acme Notes, Inc. — AI Disclosure Readiness Packet
Executive Summary
Acme Notes operates a user-facing AI meeting summarization product. Three AI features are in production, powered by two third-party model providers (OpenAI and Anthropic). Based on the company's self-reported usage and California user base, two features are likely within scope of AB 853 content-provenance expectations and one of the three lacks a persistent user-facing disclosure label.
Overall readiness score: 72 / 100 (moderate). Four open gaps are tracked in §07.
Product AI Usage
| Feature | Type | User-facing | Disclosure today |
|---|---|---|---|

| In-app chat assistant | Chatbot | Yes | Avatar + 'AI' label |
| Auto-tagging | Classification | Indirect | None |
Model Provider Inventory
| Provider | Models | Hosted by | Data retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini | OpenAI API | 30 days (zero-retention requested) |
| Anthropic | claude-3-5-sonnet | Anthropic API | 30 days |
User-Facing Disclosure Review
Disclosure language is present on two of three features. The auto-tagging feature does not surface an indication that tags are AI-generated. This is a likely gap for California users encountering AI-derived content without labeling.
California Transparency Considerations
- SB 53: Public AI transparency page is recommended given user base > 100k.
- AB 853: Provenance labeling is recommended for generated text artifacts.
- Consider documenting fine-tuning practices and retention defaults.
Open Questions for Counsel
- Does auto-tagging constitute "AI-generated content" requiring labeling?
- Is a static disclosure page sufficient, or are per-feature notices required?
- Do enterprise contracts require additional AI-usage notices to admins?
