The Act is 144 pages.
Your answer is ten minutes.
Veriakt exists because European SMEs were handed a regulation written for enterprises, and offered only two ways to deal with it: pay a consultancy five figures, or download a checklist that knows nothing about your actual systems.
Why we built it
The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) does not scale down gracefully. A 20-person company running a support chatbot and a CV-screening tool faces the same 144 pages as a multinational — but without a legal department to read them.
Most of what an SME needs is not a bespoke legal opinion. It is a correct, specific answer to four questions: What have we actually got? Which tier does it fall into? Which obligations genuinely apply to us? What do we do first? Those questions are answerable from structured facts about your systems. That is what Veriakt automates.
How it works
- You describe your AI. A guided intake in plain language — no legal vocabulary required. About ten minutes.
- We classify it. Each system is mapped to its risk tier — prohibited, high, limited or minimal — with the specific Article or Annex III basis, not a vibe.
- We scope the obligations to you. Duties are filtered by your risk tier and your role. Article 11 technical documentation is a provider duty for high-risk systems; if you are a limited-risk deployer, it is marked N/A with the reason, and it does not count against your score.
- We find the gaps and rank them by deadline. Not by what is easiest to sell you.
- You get two documents. A compliance report for the board, and an internal AI policy your staff can actually read.
Where the deadlines actually stand
The delay was real, but partial. The Digital Omnibus moved the Annex III high-risk obligations to 2 December 2027. That headline travelled further than the detail.
Three things did not move:
- Article 4 — AI literacy. In force since February 2025. Applies to providers and deployers at every tier, today.
- Article 50 — transparency. Applies 2 August 2026. Chatbots and AI-generated content must be disclosed as such.
- Article 5 — prohibited practices. Already enforceable.
A tool that tells you compliance can wait until 2027 is not doing you a favour. The runway is real — it is only useful to companies that start inside it.
What Veriakt is not
Veriakt is a software tool. It is not a law firm, and it does not provide legal advice (keine Rechtsberatung). Its output is automated compliance information based on the facts you provide. Before you affix CE marking, sign a declaration of conformity, or register a high-risk system in the EU database, involve a qualified lawyer. We say this in every report, not just here.
We also do not track you. No cookies, no analytics, no advertising pixels. Fonts are self-served through an EU provider rather than Google. For a company that sells compliance, doing the opposite would be difficult to explain.
Where we are
Veriakt is built in Berlin and made for the European market. We are currently offering a free compliance evaluation to the first 100 companies — because 100 real assessments against real systems will sharpen the product faster than any amount of theorising.
Questions, edge cases, or a classification you disagree with: hello@veriakt.ai. We would genuinely rather hear it.
