Who you are under the Act
Deployer or provider: different lists, same deadlines.
The regulation assigns obligations by role, not by company size. The first question we ask is which one you are, per system.
Art. 3(4) · Art. 26
Deployer
You use an AI system under your own authority: a recruiting tool, a credit score, a chatbot on your site.
- Use the system according to its instructions and keep logs
- Assign human oversight and train the people involved (Art. 4)
- Inform affected workers and natural persons
- Carry out a fundamental rights impact assessment where Art. 27 applies
Art. 3(3) · Art. 16
Provider
You develop an AI system or model and place it on the EU market, under your name or trademark.
- Risk management, data governance and technical documentation (Art. 9 to 11)
- Conformity assessment, declaration and CE marking for high-risk systems
- Registration in the EU database before placing on the market
- Post-market monitoring and serious-incident reporting (Art. 72, 73)
Many companies are both: a provider for the product they sell and a deployer for the tools they buy.
Every AI system in one register, with an owner.
Start with what you actually run: bought, built or embedded. Each entry carries its intended purpose, its role under the Act and the person responsible, so nothing is classified twice or forgotten.

Nine questions, in the order the regulation asks them.
Role, EU scope, prohibited practices, general-purpose models, Annex I, Annex III, the Art. 6(3) exemptions, transparency flags and the SME flag. The assistant proposes with verbatim quotes; a person in your organisation decides.
Art. 5 · Art. 6 · Annex III · Art. 50 · Art. 62

- 1Role: deployer or provider?
- 2EU scope: placed on the market or used in the Union?
- 3Art. 5: any prohibited practice?
- 4Annex III: listed area?
- 5Art. 50: interacts with people or generates content?
Role and risk class are set by a person, never by the assistant.
A register of duties, grouped by when they bite.
Each obligation shows the article text in your language, the date it applies from, the evidence that satisfies it and who owns it. Already in force, due next, due later: three waves, no surprises.

Templates that know which section is still empty.
Each obligation points to the document that satisfies it: literacy record, Art. 50 notice, FRIA, Annex IV technical file. Sections carry coverage badges, uploads get a hash in the evidence ledger, and AI-drafted text is marked as such.

One number per system, and the filing when the clock starts.
Readiness is the share of applicable checks with evidence behind them, broken down by wave. Filings are type-driven forms with the Art. 73 incident clock, frozen on submission and exportable for the authority.

The two duties every organisation already owes.
Art. 4 asks for measures, not certificates: a roster, a programme and dated attestations are the record. Art. 50 asks for disclosure and marking: a notice snippet in both languages, a marking policy and a public verifier link.
