Making AI Compliance Simple

We're a team of AI researchers, engineers, and policy experts on a mission to help organizations build AI responsibly.

Our Story

Guardia-AI was born out of frustration. As the EU AI Act took shape, we watched companies struggle to understand their obligations. Consultants charged €500/hour for advice. Compliance teams spent months on documentation. And most startups simply couldn't afford to comply.

We knew there had to be a better way. What if the same AI that's being regulated could help automate compliance? What if risk classification took 30 seconds instead of 2 weeks? What if documentation wrote itself?

So we built Guardia-AI. A platform that makes EU AI Act compliance accessible to everyone — from solo developers to enterprise teams. We've taken the complexity of the regulation and turned it into a simple, automated workflow.

We're just getting started — building in the open, ahead of the August 2026 enforcement deadline.
