How do you know when an EU AI Act amendment touches your systems?
In Complipath (complipath.io), Legal watch compares the provisions your confirmed records cite with the amending acts declared in the app's code: today one act, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. When a cited provision was amended, every member of the workspace gets one letter naming the affected systems. Nothing watches EUR-Lex for new acts.
Checks the provisions your confirmed records cite against the amending acts the app knows, and emails you a letter listing each affected system.

What it does
Once a day, it collects every provision your confirmed, active records cite: the latest assessment's own citations and the article of each requirement.
It compares them with the changes Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 lists in its Article 1, generated from the Official Journal text. No model is involved.
Each provision lands in one of three piles: amended, not amended, or cannot be determined, where the act does not say where a provision ended up.
Only an amended provision sends a letter. It names each newly affected system, the changed provisions and the amendment points, and links to the system's assessment. The other two piles are listed in it.
Each letter is stored exactly as sent and stays readable on Market & Law.
Weekly letter: a summary email to every member, with systems, high-risk systems, open and unassigned requirements, what is marked complete and the legal updates of the period. Weekly on Monday by default; daily, monthly or off by choice.
Market & Law: update cards written by Complipath, each with an "In short" summary where one is written and a link to the source where one is given, plus key dates and a check of what your register cites.
Record standing: each assessment is checked for amended provisions it cites. The list marks it "Cites changed text" or "Cannot be determined"; an unchanged record carries no mark, and its own page says its provisions are unchanged as of that day.
Who it is for
A compliance lead, CTO or counsel who holds confirmed classifications and needs to know when the text they rest on moves, without rereading the Official Journal against every record.
It works only on what is confirmed. A draft classification is not checked, and an empty register gets no summary letter.
How you use it, step by step
Confirm each system's classification. A system whose latest assessment is still a draft, or that is archived, is left out of the check.
In Settings → Notifications, an admin keeps the law-change letter on (the default) or turns it off.
In the same tab, choose whether a new act is matched on the day it is published instead of after a 14-day wait, and how often the summary letter comes.
When a letter arrives, open the system from its link. Its classification page compares the assessment's own citations; its Requirements page compares the requirements' articles. Each names the changed provision and the amendment point.
Decide whether to run the assessment again. That records a new assessment beside the old one; the old record keeps its date and answers.
Open Market & Law to read the update cards, the key dates and the letters already sent.
Which plan
Every plan, Free included: none of the four features reads the plan. The summary letter stops when an account is closed.
Where it sits in the law
Article 1 of Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 amends the AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, as a list of numbered points. Complipath's comparison is generated from that list.
The act was published in the Official Journal on 24 July 2026 and entered into force on the third day after, 27 July 2026, under Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2026/1744.
For a provider of a high-risk system, Article 11(1), first subparagraph, requires the technical documentation to be drawn up before the system is placed on the market or put into service, and kept up to date.
The 14-day wait is Complipath's choice, not a period in the law: a published act can still be corrected, and a letter sent on publication day might have to be sent again.
What it does not do
Nothing watches EUR-Lex or the Official Journal. A new amending act is checked only once it has been added to the app's code; today that list holds one act.
It does not re-assess anything. A record keeps its class and answers until a person runs the assessment again.
A provision that cannot be determined never sends a letter on its own; it is listed in a letter that an amended provision triggers.
Market & Law entries are written by Complipath, not fetched. Which systems an entry touches comes from the scope set on the entry, such as confirmed high-risk systems, not from reading each record.
No email goes out when a Market & Law entry is added. It shows in the app, and in the next summary letter if it falls inside that letter's period.
Record standing does not know when a record was made. A record made on the amended text can still read that a provision it cites has been amended since it was made.
Record standing reads the assessment's citations only; the letter also reads each requirement's article, so for one system the two can differ.
Where it is in the app
Settings → Notifications holds the law-change letter, the same-day option and the summary frequency; only an admin can change them.
Market & Law is in the sidebar under Help, with a count of updates new since your last visit. Record standing shows in the AI Inventory list and on each system's classification page.
Does Complipath watch EUR-Lex for new AI Act amendments?
No. Legal watch compares your confirmed records with the amending acts declared in the app's code, and today that is one act, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744. A new act is checked only once it has been added to the app. What runs every day is the comparison of your records against the act already there.
Will I get one email per affected system?
No. A workspace gets one letter per amending act, listing every system whose confirmed record cites a provision that act changed, and it goes to every member. A system is reported once per act. If more systems start citing an amended provision later, a new letter names only those not reported before.
Why does the letter wait 14 days after publication?
A published act can still be corrected, and a letter sent on publication day might have to be sent again. Fourteen days is Complipath's own choice, not a period in the law. An admin can turn the wait off in Settings → Notifications, and a new act is then matched on the day it is published.
Which plan includes it?
Every plan, the free one included: Legal watch, the summary letter, Market & Law and Record standing do not read the plan. Free holds one AI system, with no end date. Starter is €499 a month for up to 20 AI systems. Prices exclude VAT. Growth and Scale are not available yet, and nothing here waits for them.
