Can an AI assistant answer EU AI Act questions with sources you can check?

What it does

• Answers questions about the AI Act, your own register and Complipath itself. Each source is numbered: a law quote with its provision, or one of your systems, files or a Complipath page by name, with a link.
• A law quote must stand word for word in Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 or Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 as published. One that does not is sent back to be fixed, then dropped with its marker; the sentence stays, without that source.
• A quote from an article that Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 replaced is sent back with the instruction to quote the new text.
• Official sources: a second, separate search runs on 17 official websites, among them EUR-Lex, the Commission, the AI Act Service Desk, the EDPB and ten data protection authorities. Up to three quotes come back, each with its link and the day it was read.
• Opened from a system's page, it knows which system you are looking at.
• Search the law and your register: ⌘K, Ctrl K or / opens one search box on every signed-in page. It finds your systems, requirements, documentation text, file names, risks and vendors. It also finds the law, sentence by sentence under its article. Search uses no model.

Who it is for

A CTO, compliance lead or counsel who needs a quick reading of the law against their own register, with the quote in front of them to check, before deciding or asking a lawyer.

It explains and points. The decision stays with a person.

How you use it, step by step

• Open Assistant under Help in the sidebar, or press "Ask the assistant about it" on a Market & Law card.
• Ask in up to 600 characters. Follow-up questions in the same thread carry the last four exchanges.
• Read the answer, then its sources: law quotes with their provision, and your register and files by name, each with a link.
• Read "From official sources" below it, open the link and note the date it was read.
• To look a provision up yourself, press ⌘K and type words or an article number such as "Article 14".
• Classify or confirm in the classifier: the assistant cannot change or confirm a classification.

Which plan

The assistant is on every plan, Free included: Free can ask 30 a month, every other plan and the trial 300. Each model request also counts against the plan's monthly AI runs, which other AI features share.

Search covers your register on every plan; searching the law is Starter and up, and the trial.

Where it sits in the law

• It quotes Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 from copies whose sha256 is checked when they are loaded; a copy that does not match is refused.
• Roles follow the definitions: a provider under Article 3, point (3), a deployer under Article 3, point (4). The assistant is told to write that offering a system under your own name can make you its provider.
• The official search reads public guidance pages. What it quotes is what the page said on the day it was read, not a reading of how it applies to you.

What it does not do

• The answer request does not send only the question. It also carries your register (systems, purposes, owners, vendors, recorded classes, requirements and their owners), file names, company details, the last four exchanges and up to five Market & Law entries.
• It never sends the text of your files or documentation: file names only, and for high-risk systems whether each documentation section is reviewed.
• The official search sends only the question, with your company, people, system, vendor, model and file names, e-mail addresses, links, domains and long numbers taken out. Anything else you type, such as another company's name, is sent. With no legal term left, nothing is sent.
• It never sets, changes or confirms a classification, and never says you comply. Where your register records no class, it may say what the law points to and suggest you classify the system.
• If every attempt fails a hard check, such as a provision that does not exist, a date not in the texts or a class that contradicts your register, no answer is shown: you get a short fallback with no sources.
• With the AI switch off, the assistant does not answer at all. Search still works, because it uses no model.
• Law search shows the 2024 text and Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 as two separate texts. It does not merge them, and a sentence from a provision that was later replaced carries no mark.
• Search finds files by name, not by what is inside them.

Where it is in the app

Assistant is in the sidebar under Help. Market & Law cards open it with a question already written.

Search opens with ⌘K or Ctrl K on any signed-in page, or / when you are not typing in a field.
