What is KlarvoEngine?

KlarvoEngine is Klarvo's regulatory intelligence engine. It analyses your AI system through a 3-pass classification pipeline and produces an article-cited compliance memo with obligations, deadlines, and recommended controls — in under 60 seconds.

What is the EU AI Act?

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It classifies AI systems by risk level and imposes obligations on providers and deployers of AI systems operating in the EU.

Any organisation that provides or deploys AI systems affecting people in the EU — regardless of where the organisation is based. This includes websites with AI chatbots, companies using AI analytics, and businesses integrating AI models into their products.

Prohibited AI practices have been enforceable since February 2025. GPAI model obligations since August 2025. Article 50 transparency and most remaining obligations apply from August 2, 2026.

What are the penalties?

Up to €35 million or 7% of global turnover for prohibited practices. Up to €15 million or 3% for transparency and other violations. For SMEs, the penalty is whichever amount is lower.

How KlarvoEngine Classification Works

KlarvoEngine is Klarvo's regulatory intelligence engine — a 3-pass classification pipeline that analyses your AI systems against the full text of the EU AI Act and produces article-cited compliance memos.

What KlarvoEngine Does

When you register an AI system in Klarvo, KlarvoEngine analyses it through three distinct passes:

Understand — extracts structured data from your description (what it does, who it affects, where it's deployed, how humans are involved)

Classify — maps the system against the full EU AI Act legal framework (risk level, applicable articles, transparency obligations, GPAI status)

Verify — cross-references against 70+ edge cases, checks for misclassification patterns, produces a confidence score

The entire process takes under 60 seconds.

Not a checklist — analyses your specific system, not a generic list of questions

Not a consultant replacement — handles classification, but legal interpretation should involve qualified counsel
