If you sell to EU customers, the EU AI Act probably applies to you. Find out in 2 minutes.
Most B2B SaaS companies aren't AI providers — they're deployers, and deployers have obligations too. Take the assessment to get a suggested classification and a step-by-step readiness plan.

What applies on 2 August 2026?
Article 50 transparency obligations apply from 2 August 2026. They are distinct from the Act's high-risk-system rules, which have a later, status-sensitive schedule. Three milestones matter for B2B SaaS:
- 1
Article 50 transparency starts 2 August 2026. Covered providers must support machine-readable marking of synthetic outputs, while covered deployers must disclose certain deepfakes and AI-generated public-interest text.
- 2
AI literacy and prohibited-practice rules already apply. Those duties have applied since 2 February 2025; general-purpose AI obligations have applied since 2 August 2025.
- 3
High-risk rules are scheduled later. Under the May 2026 political agreement, rules for certain Annex III systems are scheduled for 2 December 2027, and product-integrated high-risk systems for 2 August 2028. The legal adoption process is not yet complete.

Questions teams ask before taking the assessment.
We only use OpenAI’s API — does the Act apply?
Possibly, depending on how the feature is used. Using third-party models doesn't exempt you; your role (deployer vs provider) depends on the use case. The assessment walks through it.
We're a US company. Why care?
The Act has extraterritorial reach where output is used in the EU — and US buyers are adopting the same questions in vendor reviews regardless.
Is the classification legally binding?
No. Govarna provides suggested, auditable classifications for you to review with qualified counsel.
What if we do nothing?
Maybe nothing happens — until an EU customer's procurement team asks for your AI governance documentation, or an employee's AI tool causes an incident with no policy on file. Getting the inventory done now is cheap insurance.
