How to Check Your AI Act Compliance in 2 Minutes (Free Tool)
Step-by-step guide to using AktAI's free compliance scanner to check your business against EU AI Act requirements. No signup needed.
Why Check Your Compliance?
The EU AI Act's Article 4 (AI literacy) obligation is already in effect, and full enforcement for high-risk AI systems arrives in August 2026. Most businesses are not sure where they stand — and the longer you wait, the more work piles up.
The good news: you can get a clear picture of your compliance status in about two minutes using our free scanner. No signup, no email required.
How It Works
Our AI compliance scanner analyzes the AI tools your business uses and checks them against EU AI Act requirements. Here is how to use it, step by step.
Step 1: Go to the Scanner
Open our free AI compliance scanner. You will see a clean interface asking about your AI usage.
Step 2: List Your AI Tools
Enter the AI tools your organization uses. Common examples include:
- ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for content or research
- Microsoft Copilot for productivity
- AI-powered recruitment platforms (HireVue, Pymetrics)
- Customer service chatbots (Intercom, Zendesk AI)
- AI analytics tools (Google Analytics 4, Mixpanel)
- AI code assistants (GitHub Copilot, Cursor)
Not sure which tools count as AI? Our discovery wizard helps you identify AI tools across your organization.
Step 3: Answer a Few Questions
The scanner asks basic questions about how you use each tool:
- What decisions does it influence?
- Who interacts with it?
- Does it process personal data?
- Is there human oversight?
These questions map directly to EU AI Act requirements and take about 30 seconds per tool.
Step 4: Get Your Results
The scanner generates a compliance report showing:
- Risk classification for each AI tool (minimal, limited, high, or prohibited)
- Compliance gaps you need to address
- Priority actions ranked by urgency and impact
- Estimated timeline to reach compliance
What to Do With Your Results
Your results tell you exactly where to focus:
- Green items — You are compliant in these areas. No action needed.
- Yellow items — Minor gaps that are straightforward to fix (documentation, transparency notices).
- Red items — Significant gaps requiring attention before the August 2026 deadline.
For most SMBs, the biggest gaps are:
- AI literacy training — not yet implemented (already overdue)
- AI system documentation — no formal records of AI tools and their purposes
- Risk assessments — not completed for high-risk systems
Next Steps After Your Scan
Once you know your gaps, you have two paths:
DIY approach: Use the scanner results as a checklist and work through each gap manually. This works if you have a small number of AI tools and some compliance expertise.
Platform approach: Sign up for AktAI (free tier available) to automate the entire workflow — AI system registry, auto-classification, document generation, training tracking, and gap analysis. Most teams go from "not started" to "compliant" in under a week.
