We used to dread the idea of AI Act documentation — our legal team estimated 3–4 months of consultant time. Aikraft classified and documented our three high-risk systems in under a week. The audit export was exactly what our DPO needed.
Enforcement deadline: August 2, 2026
EU AI Act compliance, automated.

The problem
The compliance gap
The EU AI Act is the most significant technology regulation in a generation — and most mid-market companies are entirely unprepared for it. Enterprise GRC platforms like ServiceNow and IBM OpenPages were built for large compliance teams with six-figure tooling budgets. They require months of implementation, dedicated consultants, and ongoing configuration work that organizations of 50–3,000 employees simply cannot sustain.
Manual compliance consultants offer expertise, but at €300–800 per hour, a single high-risk AI system can cost €50,000–150,000 to document properly — and that documentation goes stale the moment the system changes. For companies operating multiple AI systems across HR, finance, and operations, the costs become prohibitive before you even begin.
The result is a compliance gap: mid-market companies — the backbone of the European economy — face the same regulatory obligations as multinationals, but without the resources to meet them. Aikraft was built specifically to close that gap: purpose-built for the EU AI Act, priced for mid-market reality, and designed to make compliance an operational habit rather than an annual project.
The solution
Everything you need to comply with the EU AI Act
Three integrated modules covering the full compliance lifecycle — from initial classification through ongoing monitoring.
Classify
Automatically classify your AI systems under EU AI Act Annex III with our guided assessment engine.
Document
Generate complete Annex IV technical documentation in minutes with AI-assisted content generation.
Monitor
Continuous compliance monitoring with drift detection, incident logging, and regulatory update alerts.
How it works
From zero to compliant in four steps
-
Register your AI systems
Describe each AI system you develop or deploy — name it, tag it by domain, and categorize its primary function. Aikraft supports bulk import via CSV or direct integration with your asset register. Every system gets a permanent audit trail from day one.
-
Get classified
Our guided assessment engine walks you through the Annex III criteria in plain language — no legal expertise required. Answer 10–15 questions about your system's purpose, autonomy, data use, and impact. Aikraft returns a risk tier (Unacceptable, High, Limited, or Minimal) with full reasoning you can share with regulators.
-
Generate documentation
For high-risk systems, Aikraft's AI copilot generates a complete Annex IV technical documentation package — general description, data governance records, testing methodology, human oversight provisions, and post-market monitoring plan. What takes consultants six weeks takes Aikraft minutes. You review, edit, and export audit-ready PDFs.
-
Monitor continuously
Compliance is not a project — it's an ongoing state. Aikraft monitors your classified systems for data drift, logs incidents with regulatory-grade audit trails, and alerts you when EU AI Act guidance changes in ways that affect your documented systems. Dashboards surface risk in real time. Auditors get read-only access via secure links.

Purpose-built for mid-market EU AI Act compliance

Why Aikraft
The EU-native alternative
Enterprise GRC platforms weren't built for the EU AI Act. US-based AI governance tools store your data outside Europe. Aikraft was designed from day one for mid-market European companies — at a price that doesn't require a board approval.

As a mid-market fintech, we couldn't justify the cost of enterprise GRC software. Aikraft gave us everything we needed at a price that made sense. The monitoring alerts have already flagged two model drift issues we would have missed entirely.
The classification questionnaire is genuinely impressive — it asks exactly the right questions about how systems are actually deployed, not just how they were designed. Our compliance team now treats it as the starting point for every new AI procurement decision.
