How it works

01

Answer 6 questions.

Which tools you use, what people paste in, and who sees the output. One question per screen.

02

Read your result.

Your role (usually: a user, not a supplier), what to do this month, and what is not needed yet.

03

Put your tools in the AI register.

One list of your AI tools and the measures you take. Save or download it with a free account.

For teams that use AI, not build it

ChatGPT, Copilot, or Gemini in the office.

Email, text, and summaries. You are a user. You keep a paste rule and a short briefing, and you log them.

A chatbot on your website.

Customers talk to AI. You check that the chatbot clearly shows it is AI, and you add it to your register.

Internal AI tools.

A tool your team uses for planning, quotes, or support. You record what the tool does, who uses it, and when you review it.

Do you build or sell AI yourself? In the check, choose "We build, sell, or deeply adapt AI".

What you have after the check

  • Your role, in plain language. User (deployer) or supplier, with the reason.
  • What you do this month. Three concrete actions, such as a paste rule and one logged briefing.
  • What is not needed yet. What does not apply on your answers, with the date if that changes later.
  • An AI register. Your tools in one place, with a literacy measures log (Art. 4). That is a record of measures, not a certificate.
  • Templates. A paste rule, a register list, and a log.

You are a user (deployer), not a supplier.

This month

  1. Add the chosen tools to the AI register.
  2. Write a paste rule: what people should not paste into the tool.
  3. Give one briefing and log it as an Art. 4 measure. Not a certificate.

Not yet

Prepare the heavier chain only if the output scores people, or if the system is meant for hiring, credit, or health. Not on these answers.

2 December 2027

Timeline, what does not apply, and templates

  • 2 Aug 2026 — Art. 50 transparency
  • 2 Dec 2026 — Extra Art. 5 and the Art. 50(2) marking grace

  • 2 Aug 2028 — AI embedded in regulated products

What does not apply

  • Supplier duties — on these answers you are not an AI supplier
  • Duties for placing a general-purpose AI model on the market
  • The heavier chain for systems that score people — not on these answers
  • Art. 50 notice (on these answers people outside the company do not see the output)

Templates

Starters, not a certificate. A logged briefing is an Art. 4 measure. It does not prove a level.

FAQ

Is this legal advice?
No. This is an indicative triage based on your answers. It is not legal advice and not a conformity assessment. If you are unsure, ask a lawyer. You can also use the official EU Compliance Checker.
We only use ChatGPT. Do we need to do anything?
Usually, not much. You are a user, not a supplier. Since 2 February 2025 the AI Act asks you to take measures that support AI literacy in your team (Art. 4). A paste rule and one logged briefing are a sound start.
What does Art. 4 mean in practice?
You take measures that fit your team and how you use AI. A fixed level, a course, or a certificate is not required. You record what you do in the literacy measures log.
We have a chatbot on our site. What now?
The transparency rules (Art. 50) have applied since 2 August 2026. People need to know they are talking to AI. Check that your chatbot says so clearly. The check shows what follows from your answers.
Do I need an account?
Not for the check. You do if you want to download the result or keep the register.
What happens to my answers?
The check runs in your browser. We store a check only after you create an account and save it. See Privacy.
When should I look at uses that score people?
Only when AI scores or ranks people, for example in hiring, credit, or education. Those rules apply from 2 December 2027. The check asks about this.
