The problem

You use AI. So do your employees. Now it's a legal problem.

ChatGPT. Copilot. Notion AI. Grammarly. Your CRM's AI assistant. The hiring tool that scores resumes. The support chatbot that drafts replies. Each one is now subject to regulation.

Most business owners don't realize they're in scope. Most haven't done a risk assessment. Most can't pay $8,000/year for enterprise compliance software.

We built this check for them.

FAQ

Common questions

When does the EU AI Act take effect?

Most high-risk obligations apply from August 2, 2026. Some provisions have already applied since August 2, 2025. A few sector-specific obligations extend to August 2, 2027.

Does the EU AI Act apply to US companies?

Yes. If you offer services or products to EU customers — or your AI's output is used in the EU — you are in scope regardless of where your company is headquartered. This is similar to how GDPR applies to US companies with EU users.

What are the penalties?

Up to €35 million or 7% of global annual revenue for prohibited practices. Non-compliance with high-risk obligations can reach €15 million or 3% of revenue. Even supplying incorrect information to regulators carries a €7.5M penalty.

What about US state AI laws?

Colorado SB 205 is the first US state AI law with real enforcement (effective Feb 2026). California, Illinois, Texas, and 20+ other states have passed or are advancing AI-specific laws. This check covers the major ones.

Is this legal advice?

No. This is an informational tool to help you understand your exposure and next steps. For specific legal advice, consult a qualified attorney.
