Summary
ComplianceAgent, an open-source command-line tool, helps developers quickly audit their AI projects for compliance with EU AI Act regulations. The tool scans code to detect AI frameworks and APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, etc.), compares them against EU AI Act requirements, and provides copy-paste fixes for compliance gaps. A full scan takes approximately 5 seconds and generates a detailed report showing which articles are missing implementation, such as automated logging (Article 12), transparency disclosures (Article 50), and error handling (Article 15).
The tool is designed for developers building chatbots, AI assistants, or deploying AI in the EU market. Installation is straightforward via uv tool or pipx, and it supports multiple output formats including terminal reports, markdown, PDF, and JSON. ComplianceAgent directly addresses regulatory risk by helping teams identify gaps before they face potential fines ranging from €15M to €35M depending on violation severity.
- Available as isolated CLI tool via uv tool install or pipx, with source code on GitHub
- Critical for EU-based or EU-serving developers to avoid penalties up to €35M (7% of turnover)
