AI Act readiness, without a compliance department.
We find what the EU AI Act asks of your AI, draft the documents, check your evidence and give you a record your customers can review. Free to find out; a fixed price to get it done.

From first question to a folder ready for review.
The AI Act has different rules for different AI. Tell us what yours does; we tell you which rules apply and why, turn them into steps, draft the documents from your answers and check the evidence you add.

The law behind it
The EU AI Act, in one minute.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 is the European Union’s law on artificial intelligence. It applies to every company that builds, sells or uses AI in the EU, wherever the company is based. What it asks of you depends on what your AI does, and on your role.
What it asks, by level of risk
- BannedArt. 5
Off the market: social scoring, manipulation that causes harm, emotion recognition at work or school, scraping faces to build databases.
- High-riskArt. 6, Annexes I and III
AI that decides about people or safety: hiring, credit, education, essential services, critical infrastructure, medical devices. Providers document, test and oversee it; users run it with human oversight.
- TransparencyArt. 50
Chatbots, deepfakes and AI-generated content: people must be told they are dealing with AI.
- Minimal riskArt. 4
Most AI. No specific duties, except one that applies to everyone: train the people who use it (AI literacy).
Companies that provide general-purpose AI models, the kind behind chatbots and assistants, have rules of their own (Chapter V).
Who it applies to
- ProvidersArt. 3(3)
You build an AI system, or sell one under your name.
- DeployersArt. 3(4)
You use AI in your work, even a tool someone else built.
- Outside the EUArt. 2(1)
It still applies when your AI is sold or used in the EU.
Why it matters
- FinesArt. 99
Up to €35 million or 7% of worldwide turnover for banned AI, and up to €15 million or 3% for most other duties. For smaller companies, the lower of the two.
- Access to the marketArts. 16, 43, 48
High-risk AI cannot be sold in the EU without its technical file, a conformity assessment and the CE marking.
- Your customers ask firstArts. 13, 26
Companies that buy AI owe duties of their own, so they send AI Act questionnaires to their suppliers before they sign.

Every step cites the law
Each rule, step and answer names the article it comes from, so you can check it yourself.
Evidence, not just documents
Documents are drafted from your own answers, and every file you add is checked against the step it is meant to prove.
Gaps stay visible
We never tell you you're compliant: you see what is proven, what is only stated and what is still open. An independent advisor's review is optional.
