The challenge

Your AI product is ready for Europe. Is it ready for the EU AI Act?

Every company that sells an AI-powered product in the EU must now show that it meets the EU AI Act. Most product teams can't yet say whether they do.

The EU AI Act regulates AI by risk. What you must do depends on what your system does, who uses it, who it affects and where you sit in the AI value chain. For a team about to launch in Europe, compliance has become a product question as well as a legal one, and it usually comes up too late.

Three questions every team gets stuck on

01

Does this apply to us?

It is hard to tell whether a new or existing AI feature falls into a prohibited, high-risk, transparency or general-purpose AI (GPAI) category.

02

What exactly must we do?

Hundreds of pages of legal text have to be turned into concrete product, engineering, documentation and monitoring tasks.

03

Are we still compliant?

Obligations apply in phases and the dates keep shifting. Prohibitions and GPAI duties already apply, transparency rules have applied since August 2026, and standalone high-risk obligations move to December 2027.

AI regulation has become part of product management. Teams need a way to answer these questions before launch, not after a regulator asks.

Ancient wisdom, modern compliance

Two paths are in front of every AI team

The Katha Upanishad named this choice thousands of years ago.

Young Nachiketa kneels before Yama, the lord of death, who sits on his throne beside a great black buffalo.

Young Nachiketa stands before Yama, the lord of death. Yama offers him wealth, kingdoms and long life. Nachiketa turns them all down and asks for true knowledge. Yama praises him because he chose Shreyas, the lasting good, over Preyas, what is pleasant right now.

PreyasThe pleasant path

Ship now and deal with regulation later
“Our lawyers will look at it before launch”
Feels fast today
Gaps surface after deployment, as fines, recalls or lost deals
One-off, inconsistent reviews

ShreyasThe right path

Build compliance into the product from day one
Every team understands its obligations as it builds
Stays fast, because nothing has to be redone
Gaps surface in design, when they are cheap to fix
A repeatable assessment across the whole AI portfolio

Aegis is the guide that makes Shreyas the easy choice.

Choosing what's right shouldn't mean giving up speed. With Aegis, a product manager describes the AI system in plain language, for example “We use an AI model to screen job applications and rank candidates.” The Copilot then guides them through a structured assessment:

Describe
Classify
Identify obligations
Assess gaps
Action plan

Classify

Works out whether the system is likely to be prohibited, high-risk, subject to transparency rules, GPAI-related or minimal risk.

Map obligations

Turns legal requirements into practical duties for risk management, data governance, documentation, human oversight and security.

Check compliance

Asks targeted questions about the product, data, users and processes to find missing controls.

Recommend actions

Produces a prioritized checklist, such as adding human oversight, documenting training data, enabling logging and disclosing AI use.

Generate evidence

Drafts risk-assessment checklists, governance registers and questions for legal and security teams.

Stay current

Tracks changing deadlines and Commission guidance so products can be reassessed over time.

Like Nachiketa, the wise team tells the two paths apart. Aegis helps you see the difference and take the right one.

What your business gains

Turn compliance from a launch blocker into a competitive edge

From “Is our AI compliant?” to “Here is exactly what we need to do next.”

Faster time to the EU market

Find obligations at the design stage instead of the week before launch. That means fewer late-stage redesigns and fewer delayed releases.

Lower cost of compliance

Aegis automates the first round of research and assessment, which usually takes days of work across product, legal and engineering. Legal experts can then spend their time on the hard cases.

Reduced regulatory and financial exposure

Catch prohibited uses and missing high-risk controls before they turn into fines of up to 7% of global turnover, forced withdrawals or reputational damage.

Audit-ready evidence on demand

Risk checklists, governance registers and documentation drafts are produced as you go, so evidence exists when a regulator, auditor or notified body asks for it.

Consistency at scale

Every AI product in the portfolio gets the same repeatable assessment, whichever team built it or whichever country it launches in.

Trust that wins deals

Enterprise buyers increasingly ask about AI Act compliance in their due diligence. Clear, documented answers shorten sales cycles and set you apart from competitors.

Who benefits

Product managers

Build compliance into design instead of adding it at launch

Engineering & data teams

Get requirements as concrete technical controls

Legal & compliance

Faster first-level reviews and standardized assessments

Business leaders

A clear view of regulatory exposure and remediation priorities

Choosing Shreyas pays off. Doing it right the first time is also the fastest way to market.

Responsible by design

An AI that checks AI must hold itself to the same standard
