AI Act Checker

How it works

An honest scan, explained.

No tool can certify AI Act compliance from a URL. What we do is narrower and more useful: collect evidence, apply a curated rule catalog, and show our work.

  1. 01

    What can I submit for a scan?

    You give us a public URL, a screenshot, a PDF or plain text, and confirm you may share it.

    URLs are validated against private networks (SSRF guard), files are type- and size-checked, and everything is stored in EU object storage with a 30-day retention.

  2. 02

    What does the scan read on my website?

    A headless browser renders the page like a visitor would, so client-side chat widgets, banners and footers count.

    We extract visible text, links to legal pages, chat vendors, AI notices, content labels, provenance standards and automated-decision disclosures. PDFs become text; images go to a vision model.

  3. 03

    How does evidence become a finding?

    Deterministic detectors turn signals into findings. A language model may add observations, but only with verbatim quotes, and only for rules that content can show.

    Every finding carries a status (pass / partial / fail), a confidence and evidence. Low-confidence automatic findings are treated as unknown, never asserted. Keyword hits for prohibited practices become hints for you to confirm, not verdicts.

  4. 04

    How is my risk class decided?

    Up to nine questions settle what a website cannot: your role, the use case, whether you provide a general-purpose model.

    The decision tree mirrors the Act: Article 5 → Article 6 with Annexes I and III → Article 50 → everything else. Each conclusion lists its legal basis.

  5. 05

    Which rules count towards my score?

    Only the rules that apply to you count. Unknowns lower coverage, not the score. A prohibited practice caps the result at zero.

    Recommendations are ordered by severity, then weight, then status. Each links to the article, shows the evidence and maps to a package.

The catalog

What can the scan check on my website?

Observable means that what you submit can show whether a rule is met. That holds for 28 of the 46 rules, 23 of them on a public website and 5 only in uploaded documents; the other 18 are settled by your answers alone. Each rule cites the articles, annexes or recitals it derives from; a test in our pipeline fails if a citation does not resolve in the official text. The Article 5 rules follow the Commission's July 2025 guidelines chapter by chapter.

How is the score calculated?

Applicable rules
Determined by role, risk tier and capability flags. Nothing else is counted.
Weighted status
pass = 1, partial = 0.5, fail = 0, multiplied by the rule's weight (1–5).
Coverage
Share of applicable rules with a known status. Self-assessment raises it.
Rating
Letter bands on the weighted score; any failed Article 5 rule is rated critical.

A ≥ 90 · B ≥ 75 · C ≥ 60 · D ≥ 40 · E < 40 · Art. 5 hit = 0
