Two free ways to find out if the EU AI Act applies to you now, no signup, no sales call.
First one is a page. Go to disclos.eu/check, answer a few questions about your product, and it tells you your risk tier, what you owe, and the deadline. Runs in your browser, saves nothing, I never see it.
Second one is a connector. You drop one URL, mcp.disclos.eu, into Claude or Cursor and just ask "am I in scope" without leaving your editor. Same classifier underneath, also free and open source.
The €997 audit is still there for when the answer comes back yes and you want someone to actually do the work and put their name on it. It now comes with 12 months of EU AI Act monitoring built in at no extra cost, so when the rules shift you hear it from me instead of finding out the hard way. Next I'm pushing it in front of more developers and untangling the annoying edge cases, like when you are both the provider and the deployer of the same system.
