Most of the EU AI Act doesn't apply to you. Find out what does.
Answer six plain questions. Get your risk tier, the exact obligations that follow, and the documents to meet them. No legalese, no scare tactics.
Free. No account needed.
Here's the thing about the EU AI Act.
It runs well over a hundred pages, with thirteen annexes and a risk system that hinges on what your AI does, who it affects, and which sector you're in. Most teams read the first few pages and give up.
ActReady turns it into something you can act on. Answer a few questions about your system and you get your risk tier: prohibited, high, limited, or minimal. If you have to comply, we draft the documents (Annex IV technical files, risk plans, transparency notices) and hand you a checklist of every obligation, ready to assign across your team.
The transparency rules under Article 50 have applied since August 2, 2026. The big one is still ahead: high-risk systems under Annex III, December 2, 2027. Find out which applies to you.
Does the Act even apply to you?
Three questions. Honest answers — we'll tell you if you don't need to worry.

The alternative is slow and expensive.
Most EU AI Act consulting engagements start around €50,000 and run three to six months. You get a PDF at the end. Change the model, the use case, or the market, and you pay again.
ActReady doesn't replace legal counsel for the genuine edge cases. But most compliance work is documentation, classification, and tracking, and that's exactly what software is good at. You shouldn't need a lawyer to learn whether your chatbot needs a transparency notice.

Questions worth answering.
What is the EU AI Act?
It's the first broad, cross-industry law for artificial intelligence. It sorts AI systems by risk level and attaches obligations that range from a simple transparency notice to full technical documentation, conformity assessment, and post-market monitoring. The Article 50 transparency rules have applied since August 2, 2026. After the Digital Omnibus deal, high-risk obligations apply from December 2, 2027.
Does the EU AI Act apply to my company?
If your AI system is used by or affects people in the EU, even if your company sits outside the EU, you likely need to comply. That includes US and UK companies serving EU customers. The free classifier tells you where you land in a few questions.
What happens if I don't comply?
For the most serious violations, fines reach up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher. Beyond fines, a non-compliant system can be pulled from the EU market entirely.
How is ActReady different from hiring a consultant?
Traditional compliance consulting runs €50K to €200K and takes months. ActReady handles the bulk of it, classification, documentation, and obligation tracking, for a fraction of the cost. You review and approve everything; the software does the heavy lifting.
What documents does ActReady generate?
The major EU AI Act documents: Annex IV technical documentation (nine 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).
Is the AI classifier really free?
Yes. The guided risk classifier needs no account at all, just answer a few questions and get your tier. Paid plans start at €29/mo and add the AI Classifier, document generation, and compliance tracking. No card needed to start.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial: you won't be charged until it ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. The classifier and free plan stay free forever, no signup needed for the classifier.
