Here's the thing about the EU AI Act
The regulation is 144 pages. It references 85 articles, 13 annexes, and a risk classification system that depends on what your AI does, who it affects, and which sector you operate in. Most companies read the first few pages and give up.
ActReady breaks it down into something you can actually act on. You answer a few questions about your system, and we tell you your risk tier — prohibited, high, limited, or minimal. If you need to comply, we generate the documents (Annex IV technical docs, risk plans, transparency notices) and give you a checklist of every obligation, with the ability to assign them across your team.
Two deadlines matter right now: August 2, 2026 for transparency obligations, and December 2, 2027 for high-risk systems. Find out which one applies to you.
Does the EU AI Act even apply to you?
Three quick questions. Honest answers — we'll tell you if you don't need to worry.

The alternative is expensive and slow
Most EU AI Act compliance consulting engagements start at €50,000 and take 3-6 months. You get a PDF at the end. If your system changes — new model, new use case, new market — you pay again.
ActReady isn't trying to replace legal counsel for edge cases. But for the 80% of compliance work that's documentation, classification, and obligation tracking? That's what software is good at. You shouldn't need a lawyer to figure out whether your chatbot needs a transparency notice.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the regulation and how ActReady works.
The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive regulation for artificial intelligence. It classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes obligations ranging from transparency notices to full technical documentation, conformity assessments, and post-market monitoring. Transparency obligations begin August 2, 2026. Following the Digital Omnibus deal, high-risk AI obligations now apply from December 2, 2027.
If your AI system is used by or affects people in the EU — even if your company is based outside the EU — you likely need to comply. This includes US and UK companies serving EU customers. Our free classifier can tell you in under 5 minutes.
Fines can reach up to €35 million or 7% of global annual revenue, whichever is higher. Beyond fines, non-compliance can lead to your AI system being pulled from the EU market entirely.
Traditional compliance consulting costs €50K–€200K and takes months. ActReady automates 80% of the work — classification, documentation generation, obligation tracking — for a fraction of the cost. You still review and approve everything, but the heavy lifting is done by AI.
We generate all major EU AI Act compliance documents: Annex IV technical documentation (9 sections), risk management plans (Article 9), human oversight plans (Article 14), transparency notices (Article 50), data governance documentation (Article 10), and post-market monitoring plans (Article 72).
Yes. The guided risk classifier requires no account at all — just answer a few questions and get your risk tier instantly. Paid plans start at €29/mo and include the AI Classifier, document generation, and compliance tracking. No credit card needed to start.
Absolutely. The free plan gives you real access to the dashboard, and all paid plans include a 14-day free trial with full access. Save 20% with annual billing. Cancel anytime during the trial with zero charges.
