Free EU AI Act compliance checker

Reglynn is a free EU AI Act compliance checker: six questions, about two minutes, and you get your likely risk tier under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 — as amended by the June 2026 Omnibus — on screen, immediately. No account, no card, no sales call.

When you need more than a tier — because an investor, an enterprise procurement team or your own lawyer has asked where you stand in writing — the same engine runs a full 32-question assessment and produces a personalised gap report for €59. That's the part most free checkers can't do, and it's the reason this one exists.

What the checker assesses

The free scan covers the questions that decide your tier fastest:

• Applicability — whether the EU AI Act reaches your system at all (Article 2, Article 3(1))
• Prohibited practices — the Article 5 red lines: social scoring, real-time public biometrics, workplace and classroom emotion recognition
• High-risk classification — whether you fall inside an Annex III area such as employment, credit, education or essential services
• Transparency duties — whether Article 50 applies: chatbot disclosure, synthetic-content labelling, deepfake disclosure
• Who is affected — because a system that touches individual people is treated very differently from one that only touches businesses

The full assessment goes further: provider vs deployer role analysis (whether these duties are even yours), the Article 6(3) exemption check that can move an Annex III system out of high-risk, a GPAI / Article 53 check for teams that fine-tuned a model, and every applicable obligation with its correct post-Omnibus deadline. The result is a dated, referenced document — not a chat transcript.

Answers to what you're probably asking

Does the EU AI Act apply to my AI system?

If there's a model doing inference in your product and your users — or your outputs — are in the EU, very likely yes. That includes companies incorporated outside the EU. Deterministic rule-based logic generally does not count as an AI system. The six-step checklist walks the scope test in full.

What risk category is my AI system?

One of four: Unacceptable (banned), High Risk (Annex III or Annex I — heavy obligations by December 2027), Limited Risk (Article 50 transparency — enforceable now), or Minimal Risk (little beyond AI literacy). Most business software lands in Limited or Minimal. The checker tells you which in two minutes.

Am I a provider or a deployer?

The highest-leverage question in the regulation. Build and sell it under your name — provider, full obligations. Use someone else's system in your operations — deployer, a far shorter list. Substantially modify someone else's system and you may become a provider without ever deciding to. The full breakdown, including the mixed case.

Could my system be high-risk?

Only if it sits in an Annex III area — employment, education, credit, essential services, law enforcement, migration, justice, biometrics, critical infrastructure — or is a safety component of a regulated product. Being in an Annex III area is not the end of the analysis: Article 6(3) exempts narrow, preparatory and procedural systems that do not profile people.

What are the deadlines?

Article 5, Article 4 and Article 50 are enforceable now (since 2 August 2026). Annex III high-risk obligations were deferred to 2 December 2027, Annex I to August 2028. Most published guidance still carries the pre-Omnibus dates. Every date, in one table.

Is Reglynn free?

The risk-tier check is free, permanently, with no sign-up. The full gap report is a one-time €59 — no subscription. Read a real report before paying.

How is this different from the European Commission's checker?

The EC's compliance checker is official and worth running. It tells you which obligations exist in general. Reglynn is built for the next step: your role, your tier, your deadlines, and a prioritised fix list referencing your actual product — in a dated document you can hand to a lawyer, an investor or a procurement team. Use both; they answer different questions.

Is this legal advice?

No. It's a structured self-assessment with a documented methodology. It tells you where you likely stand and exactly what to verify with a qualified advisor — so that conversation starts at question ten, not question one.

Who it's for

Founders and product managers at startups and SMEs shipping AI into the EU: chatbots and assistants, AI SaaS products, HR and recruitment tools, fintech and credit models, and teams that fine-tuned a foundation model and aren't sure whether Article 53 landed on them.
