Giving away 10 free EU AI Act audits (worth €997) to indie founders shipping AI into Europe. Here's why.
I run Disclos. It is a one person company out of Riga, Latvia, and it does one thing: it tells SaaS founders whether the EU AI Act applies to them, and what to actually do about it. I am an EU citizen, not a law firm, and not a 50 person compliance platform with a sales team.
Here is the part nobody wants to deal with. On 2 August 2026 the main wave of the EU AI Act starts to bite. That is 41 days away. If you ship any AI feature into the EU, a chatbot, a generator, a recommender, anything, Article 50 says you have to tell users they are dealing with AI, in a language they actually read. Penalties at the top of the Act run to €35M or 7% of global turnover. Most founders I talk to either have no idea if it applies to them, or they panic and label themselves high risk when they are not.
So I built the boring tools and gave them away. There is a free scope checker that tells you your tier in two minutes, no signup. There is an Article 50 disclosure generator that writes the exact warning text in all 24 official EU languages. There are two MCP servers so you can ask Claude or Cursor straight from your editor. All free, all open source.
But tools only get you so far. At some point you want a human to look at your actual product and say "yes this is fine" or "no, fix these three things, here is how." That is the paid audit. It is €997, five business days, a written report mapped to every relevant article, and a refund if you are not compliant by the deadline after following it.
Here is the offer. I am giving that audit away free to 10 indie founders. The Founding 10. You get the full audit, the written report, and up to 6 months of free monitoring, so when the rules shift, and they will, you hear it from me instead of finding out the hard way.
Why give away something I sell for €997. Two honest reasons. One, I am new and I need real founders putting it through its paces on real products, not toy examples. Two, the people most exposed to this law are exactly the people least able to drop a grand on compliance, solo founders and tiny teams shipping AI into Europe. Those are my people. I would rather have 10 of them safe and telling their friends than 10 paid logos I had to chase.
What I want in return is simple, and there is no hard catch. If the audit genuinely helps you, I would love an honest review. If it does not, tell me why and I will fix the product. That is it. No upsell ambush, no "free audit" that turns out to be a 40 minute sales call. You get the actual deliverable.
Who should apply. You are a SaaS founder or small team, you ship at least one AI feature, and you have users in the EU or your output ends up there. Bonus if you are in a spicy vertical like FinTech, HealthTech, EdTech or HR tech, because that is where the law gets sharp.
Who should not. If you are a 200 person company with a GRC team and a budget, this is not for you and you do not need me. If you have zero AI and zero EU exposure, you are probably out of scope, and the free checker will tell you that for nothing.
The clock is the real reason I am posting this now. 41 days is not a lot of runway for something most founders have not started. A disclosure change is cheap if you do it now and a nightmare if you retrofit it in late July while everything else is on fire.

If you want to poke at the free stuff first, start with the scope checker at disclos.eu/check and the disclosure generator at disclos.eu/tools/article-50-disclosure-generator. No signup, nothing stored.
Ten seats. Then I close it and actually do the work.
