EU AI Act Readiness Checker
Walk a short questionnaire to find out where your AI system sits under the EU AI Act — in scope, prohibited, high-risk, GPAI, transparency-only — and what obligations follow.
100% client-side. Your answers stay in the browser. The Markdown export is generated locally and downloaded by your browser. Editorial caveat: this is a summary-level readiness aid — always validate against the official Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and your competent national authority.
