The EU AI Act Takes Effect in Months. Is Your System Ready?
75% of enterprises use autonomous AI. Only 21% have governance frameworks. The compliance deadline is August 2, 2026.

Most companies embedded AI into their products before building an AI governance framework around it. Now the regulatory clock is ticking and the gap is structural, not procedural.
AI compliance is not a legal checkbox. It requires engineering: audit trails for traceability, human-in-the-loop oversight, continuous observability, and documented AI risk management. These aren't features you bolt on after launch.
Meanwhile, shadow AI is already in your organization. Employees are using AI tools with no visibility or controls. It is a governance liability hiding in plain sight.
The gap between using AI and governing AI is where regulatory risk lives. Closing it requires an AI governance platform, not a policy document.
Production AI with governance built in
- We build production AI systems for enterprises like Nike, Google, and Sanofi.
- Our open-source governance platform, Airbender, provides system-level control: logging, human oversight, and monitoring built into the application layer.
- We've shipped agentic systems in weeks, not months. Governance is built in from day one.
- Open source (Apache 2.0). Self-hosted. Your data stays yours.
