EU AI Compass Tool Library

Choose the EU AI Compass tool for your next step.

These are EU AI Compass self-assessment tools. They are not official EU tools, legal advice, or a compliance guarantee. Start with first check, existing AI systems, or audit evidence. Use deeper tools only when a result shows a gap.

Regulatory update

Use current law as the baseline. Track proposed delays separately.

The 29 June 2026 Council-adopted Digital Omnibus text would delay many stand-alone high-risk AI duties to 2 December 2027 and some product-related rules to 2 August 2028 once published in the Official Journal and in force. Until Official Journal publication and entry into force are verified, keep working on inventories, role checks, vendor evidence, Article 50 review, and evidence files.

Use the cluster in the right order.

Start with the router, then open the guide that matches the planning track: standards readiness, product-integrated AI, or SME and small-mid-cap relief.

Choose one route first.

Pick the route that matches today’s problem. Each route sends you to one useful tool.

Or choose by topic

Use tools in this order.

Use this order: check the system, create the inventory record, find evidence gaps, then open specialist tools only when needed.

Start with these six tools.

Use the high-risk router first. Open the Article 6(3) record only when that route is relevant, then move to scope, timing, inventory, and evidence records.

Open one specialist tool when you are stuck.

Do not run every tool. Use the specialist tool that matches the next open question: deployer duties, Article 50, or vendor evidence.

Use the full library by task.

The full tool set stays available, but it is grouped by task so first-time visitors do not face a wall of options.

Use guides when a tool result needs context.

Tools give you a working route. Guides explain what it means, what records to keep, and what questions to prepare for legal, privacy, procurement, security, or board review.

Use references only when you need context.

Use these pages to interpret a result, check terms, or choose the next guide.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Do the first check. Keep the record.

Run the smallest useful tool for today’s decision. When the result shows a duty, risk, escalation, or review question, keep the record and assign an owner.

Educational only. Not legal advice. Review tool outputs with qualified legal, privacy, procurement, security, or sector experts where needed.
