The EU AI Act and Againta

We build AI agents for the European market. Here is what the law requires, what applies to our work, and how we comply. With sources, not sales talk.

Scope

Who the Act applies to

The EU AI Act, Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, is the first comprehensive AI law in the world. It applies to any organization whose AI systems are placed on the market or used within the EU, regardless of where that organization is based. If your company operates in Europe and uses AI, the Act concerns you.

Risk

A risk based law

The Act regulates AI by risk level. Prohibited practices are banned outright. High risk systems, listed in Annex III, such as AI used in recruitment, credit scoring or education, face strict requirements. Most business agents, like the ones Againta builds for administrative and marketing workflows, fall in the limited or minimal risk categories, where the key duties are transparency, human oversight and AI literacy.

Obligations

The rules we build to

Article 50

Transparency

People must be told when they interact with an AI system, and AI generated content published to inform the public must be identifiable as such. Every Againta agent is designed with clear disclosure, and content generating agents support marking of AI generated output.

Read Article 50
Article 14

Human oversight

AI systems must be designed so humans can effectively oversee them. Human in the loop is not a compliance feature we added, it is the founding principle of every agent we build. Nothing goes live without a human approval step.

Read Article 14
Article 4

AI literacy

Since February 2025, organizations must ensure that staff working with AI have adequate AI literacy. Our coaching and Againta Academy exist precisely for this, for our customers and for ourselves.

Read Article 4

Data and GDPR

The AI Act works alongside existing EU data protection law. Our agents are built on the customer holding the keys: the customer authorizes platform access and can revoke it at any time, and data processing follows GDPR.

Our commitment

How Againta complies

  • We classify the risk level of every agent before we build it, and we do not build agents in the prohibited category.

  • Every agent has a documented human approval point. Nothing is published or executed without it.

  • We keep a register of every agent: purpose, risk classification, models used, data sources and the human oversight point.

  • AI generated content is disclosed and can be marked as such.

  • The customer holds the keys. Platform access is authorized by the customer and can be revoked at any time.

  • We train our own team and our customers, because AI literacy is a legal duty and a precondition for value.
