What is the EU AI Act and does it apply to my company?

The EU AI Act applies to almost every company that uses or provides AI, including SMEs. Most companies are deployers (they use AI tools built by others) or limited-risk providers, not high-risk providers. If you use AI, for example a chatbot, generative AI for content, or an internal copilot, you already have concrete duties today. The AI-literacy obligation (Art. 4) has applied since February 2025. High-risk obligations (Annex III) apply only from December 2027, and the transparency duties arrived earlier, in August 2026.

Which deadlines apply? (Art. 4, Art. 50)

February 2025, Art. 4 (AI literacy): Already in force. Companies must help staff who use AI build enough AI literacy, and be able to show it.

2 August 2026, Art. 50 (transparency): Chatbots must disclose that they are AI, and AI-generated content must be marked.

2 December 2026, machine-readable marking: For systems already on the market, the transition period for machine-readable marking of AI-generated content ends.

2 December 2027, high risk / Annex III: Only then do the full high-risk obligations apply (conformity assessment, technical documentation under Annex IV). The Digital Omnibus (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744), in force since 27 July 2026, deferred this deadline, but not Art. 50.

Questions before buying

What people ask us first.

01

Does this apply to me?

Small and medium companies are usually deployers or limited-risk providers rather than high-risk providers. If you use AI you already have duties: the Article 4 AI-literacy obligation has applied since 2 February 2025, and Article 50 transparency has applied since 2 August 2026. The free check tells you which of the two, or both, describes you.
Using a copilot, a chatbot or a generator makes you a deployer, and deployers carry duties of their own. Article 4 binds any company that provides or deploys AI systems. If what you deploy talks to customers or produces content, Article 50 reaches you as well, and has since 2 August 2026.
Since 2 August 2026 an AI system that interacts with people has to disclose that it is AI, and AI-generated content has to be marked. Systems that were already on the market before that date have until 2 December 2026 for the machine-readable marking requirement.
Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 amends Regulation (EU) 2024/1689. It was published in the Official Journal on 24 July 2026 and has been in force since 27 July 2026. It deferred the high-risk Annex III obligations to 2 December 2027, softened the Article 4 literacy duty without removing it, and added two prohibitions that apply from 2 December 2026.
No. Article 50 has applied since 2 August 2026. The deferral to December 2027 covers the high-risk obligations in Annex III.
02

What you get

Six documents, personalised to your answers: a classification memo, an AI-literacy policy for Article 4, a transparency and content-marking procedure for Article 50, an AI governance policy, an AI system register, and a staff training module with a quiz and a completion certificate for each person, for a team of up to 20.
English, Czech, German and Polish.
Yes. A full sample pack is published as a PDF.
It is a short course you share with your team, followed by a quiz, and each person who passes gets a completion certificate. It covers a team of up to 20 people and it is personalised to the answers you gave in the check.
No. Documents are assembled from fixed templates; your answers select the clauses and the dates.
03

Paying and afterwards

No. The amount shown is the amount you pay. The invoice, sent by email after payment, states the VAT treatment of each purchase. Offer for business customers only.
Yes, EUR 49 for the course, the quiz and a completion certificate for each person, for a team of up to 20. If you take the full pack later, the EUR 49 comes off the price in full. You still start with the free check, because the training is personalised to your answers.
Right after payment, as PDF, and you can download them again later from the link you are sent. Because delivery is immediate, you confirm at checkout that you request immediate delivery and acknowledge the loss of the 14-day withdrawal right (§ 1837 písm. l) OZ; Art. 16(m) Dir. 2011/83/EU).
Two options. Free: leave your address and we write only when an obligation on your result, or the date it applies from, actually changes. Paid: after you buy the pack we offer a refresh subscription at EUR 79 per year. It is not sold as a separate product here.
Enter the address you bought with and the permanent link is sent again. There is a form for exactly that at the bottom of this page.
04

Trust

No. It is orientation plus a set of documents built from the text of the Regulation. It is a starting point you can take to your lawyer or your auditor, not a substitute for either.
No, and we do not say it does. The documents have to be adopted, the training has to be taken, and the register has to be kept current as you add AI tools. What the pack removes is the blank page and the guesswork about which articles and which dates are yours.
Article 99 sets the ceilings. The highest tier, up to EUR 35 000 000 or 7 % of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher, is for the prohibited practices in Article 5. Article 99(6) applies the lower of the two figures to small and medium enterprises.

We do not print a fine figure next to Article 4 or Article 50. Fear is a poor guide to which document you actually need.

The documents are assembled from fixed templates; your answers pick the clauses and the dates, and we can point at the article behind any line in them.

Klariq is orientation and paperwork, not legal advice. The check is free because you should be able to see your position before you decide whether the EUR 249 pack is useful for you.
