It watches over your site's French. Every morning.

No. Veilleur observes a website and reports what it sees, with evidence. Whether a finding is an infraction depends on facts a robot doesn't know, starting with whether the business has an establishment in Quebec. What Veilleur gives you is the list of what an inspector would find, before they do.

Because your site changes more often than that, and the OQLF looks at your site on the day of the complaint, not the day of your audit. An audit says where you were. Monitoring says where you are this morning, and keeps dated proof of every day everything was fine.

The OQLF opens a file, reviews your site, writes to you with what it found and gives you a deadline to fix it. A fine only comes if nothing is corrected, or on a repeat offence. The deadline is short, the fix happens in a hurry, often through an agency, and the file stays open. Veilleur does two things here: you learn about it from a 79 $ report rather than a government letter, and if the letter comes anyway, you have a year of dated reports showing you were watching and fixing.

It is built to be wrong in the right direction: in doubt it asks a question rather than makes an accusation. A brand name is not English, a lone word is not evidence, and a page it couldn't read is “not assessed”, never “non-compliant”. On a reference government site it finds no anglicism at all.

It identifies itself as VeilleurBot, respects your robots.txt, waits half a second between pages and stops at its budget. Twenty pages on the free tier is less than a curious visitor.

By a language model given each page's French prose and a Quebec copy-editor's rubric: calques, anglicisms, errors of meaning, register. It quotes the passage and proposes the fix. Results are cached and only what changed is re-read.

Reports are hosted in Canada. Public text excerpts from your site are sent to the model for review, without your email or any account data. Payments go through Stripe and we never see your card. Details are in the privacy policy.

Now. The free scan is open to everyone on veilleur.ca, no account needed, and the report is on screen in two minutes. Monitoring, the audit and the Agency plan are ordered directly on veilleur.ca/en/tarifs, paid by card.

Write to us within 30 days of your first payment: we refund it in full, the first month or the first year, and the monitoring stops. Once per business and per site. And the audit includes a month of monitoring, which ends by itself: nothing is billed unless you subscribe.
