Built by a developer,
for developers.

I'm a developer. I build tools. I've worked on products that touch people's job applications, their financial data, their health records. And for most of that time, the honest answer to “are we legally compliant?” was a shrug and a vague reference to a consultant we couldn't quite afford.

The EU AI Act changed that calculation. It's not optional. It doesn't have a carve-out for startups or indie developers or “we're still figuring things out.” If your AI system touches people in the EU — their employment, their credit, their medical treatment, their education — the regulation applies to you. Full stop.

And when I went looking for something to help me understand where I stood, I found two categories of tool on the market.

The first category is the free wizard. You click through six questions. It tells you whether you're “high risk” in thirty seconds, based on a decision tree that was probably built in an afternoon. No article citations. No nuance. No explanation of why. Just a colour-coded result and a prompt to book a demo.

The second category is the enterprise audit platform. It asks you to fill in your details, your company size, your use case — and then someone calls you and sells you a "compliance programme" starting at several thousand euros. Which is completely legitimate if you need a certified auditor to sign off on your conformity assessment. But most developers at the stage of asking “am I even in scope?” don't need that yet. They need clarity first. A starting point. A way to understand what the regulation actually says about their specific tool.

That gap is what this tool was built to fill.

The EU AI Act is 113 articles and 12 annexes. Reading it and mapping it to a specific AI system takes a trained legal mind several hours. I wanted a tool that could do that grounding work in under a minute — not with a decision tree, but by actually reading the regulation.

So I built it. The engine retrieves the relevant articles from the full corpus, builds a grounded legal context, and runs a structured 7-section analysis — risk classification, operator role, applicable obligations, key actions with deadlines, a compliance timeline, and penalty exposure — with every single claim cited to the actual regulation. Article numbers. Annex references. The real text, not a summary of a summary.

It won't replace a qualified legal opinion when you need one. It will tell you, very quickly, whether you need one at all — and if so, exactly which articles to take to your lawyer.

That's the intention. Reduce the fear. Replace the shrug with a starting point. And keep it honest: this is a screening tool, not a compliance certificate. The disclaimer is in the footer, and I mean it.

The prices exist to keep this tool online and maintained. That's genuinely it. I'm not trying to build a SaaS empire on compliance anxiety.

To put it in perspective: a professional pre-screening engagement — the kind where an expert gets on a call, asks you what your tool does, and maps it to the relevant framework — starts at around €500. That's for the discovery call. The part where they figure out what you've already built, before any actual compliance work begins.

For the cost of that one call, you can run over 500 analyses here. That's not a comparison I make to dismiss professional legal counsel — it's worth every cent when you need it. It's a comparison I make to be honest about what this tool costs relative to the alternative, and what it's actually worth as a starting point.

Three analyses are free on every new account. No credit card required. If it's not useful, you've lost nothing.
