The EU AI Act transparency deadline lands August 2, 2026. I built ActHub for every small business the law applies to but nobody built tools for. Here is what shipped in v1.2.
On August 2, 2026, the transparency rules of the EU AI Act become enforceable across all 27 member states. From that day, any business whose chatbot, AI feature, or AI-generated content reaches people in the EU is legally required to disclose it, label it, and be able to prove both. The penalties scale up to 15 million euros or 3 percent of worldwide turnover. Today I'm launching the tool I built for everyone that law applies to but nobody built tools for: ActHub v1.2.
Why I built ActHub
When I started researching AI Act compliance for my own projects, I found two kinds of solutions. Enterprise governance platforms with multi-month onboarding and five-figure annual pricing. And law firm checklists written for people who already employ a legal department.
Nothing for the five-person agency running a support chatbot. Nothing for the indie SaaS founder with an AI feature. Nothing for the restaurant with a WhatsApp auto-reply or the shop publishing AI-written product descriptions. Which is strange, because those are exactly the businesses the deadline hits hardest: they are in scope, they have no compliance staff, and they usually do not even know the law applies to them.
So my team and I built the tool we wanted to exist. Practical, affordable, done in an afternoon.
What ActHub does
ActHub turns Article 50 of the EU AI Act into a working checklist:
- AI inventory. List every AI tool your business touches. 35 popular vendors are pre-loaded, custom entries take 30 seconds, and you can bulk import from CSV.
- Automatic risk classification. A guided wizard sorts every system into the Act's four risk tiers, so you know exactly which obligations apply to you and which ones you can ignore.
- Chatbot disclosure widget. One line of JavaScript adds a compliant, multilingual "you are talking to an AI" disclosure to any website or chatbot.
- AI content labels. A label injector embeds the machine-readable IPTC marker into your AI-generated images, the same metadata field that Google and Meta read to detect AI content.
- Public transparency page. ActHub generates a clean public page from your inventory that shows customers what AI you use and how to reach a human.
- Court-ready PDF dossier. One click exports your entire compliance position, signed and dated, for your lawyer or for an authority that comes asking.
What's new in v1.2
This release is the biggest since launch, and it is the moment ActHub graduates into a full product:
- A cleaner, more professional design across the whole app, because a tool you trust with legal risk should look the part.
- Multi-organisation support for agencies: manage the compliance of every client from one account, each with its own inventory, transparency page, and dossier.
- CSV import and export for the AI inventory, so migrating from a spreadsheet takes minutes.
- Daily digest emails with your checklist progress, disclosure widget activity, and days remaining to the deadline.
- A public API with scoped tokens, so power users can automate their inventory from scripts and integrations.
- Sign in with SevinHub, online card payments, and automatic in-app updates.
Who is this for
If any of these sound like you, the Act almost certainly applies to your business: a chatbot or AI voice agent on your site, AI-generated blog posts or product images, AI features inside your product, or AI tools in your hiring process. And it does not matter where your company is registered. Like GDPR, the law follows your users, not your address.
Pricing that respects small businesses
ActHub has a free plan that covers a five-system inventory, the risk wizard, the checklist, a disclosure widget, the transparency page, and the PDF dossier. Paid plans start at 19 euros per month when you need more. No sales calls, no onboarding fees, EU-hosted by default.
Start with the free self-check
Not sure where you stand? I built a free 60-second self-check: ten yes-or-no questions, and you get a personal action plan showing exactly which of the four transparency triggers apply to your business. No signup, no credit card.
The deadline does not move. The work is one afternoon. Do it now, and August 2 becomes just another Sunday.
