If you integrate AI into your product, the EU AI Act applies to you.
SaaS companies using GPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI model in their product need to understand: are you a deployer, a provider, or both? KlarvoEngine answers that question with article-level precision.
Classify your AI productThe question every SaaS company must answer
You USE an AI model via API
- You integrate GPT/Claude/Gemini into your product
- You don't train or fine-tune the model
- Your obligations: Article 26 deployer duties + Article 50 transparency
- KlarvoEngine classifies your SYSTEM, not the model
You BUILD an AI system
- You develop the AI system that end users interact with
- You fine-tune models with >1/3 of original training compute
- Your obligations: Articles 16-25 (high-risk) or Chapter V (GPAI)
- Provider Track add-on covers conformity assessment
Using foundation models? Check your provider's compliance.
KlarvoEngine's GPAI framework checks:
Multiple models? One classification.
Many SaaS products use GPT for drafts, Claude for review, and a custom model for industry terms. KlarvoEngine classifies the integrated system — not each model separately. The system's use case determines risk, not the number of models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are SaaS companies providers or deployers?
It depends. If you build AI into your product, you're likely a provider. If you use third-party AI in your operations or product, you're typically a deployer. Many SaaS companies are both — KlarvoEngine determines which.
What do EU customers expect from SaaS vendors?
Enterprise customers increasingly ask for AI governance evidence packs. They want to see your AI inventory, risk classifications, transparency practices, and incident processes.
Do US-based SaaS companies need to comply?
If your SaaS product uses AI and has EU customers, EU AI Act obligations apply. The regulation has extraterritorial reach for AI systems that affect people in the EU.
What if we use multiple AI models?
Many SaaS products use GPT for drafts, Claude for review, and a custom model for industry terms. KlarvoEngine classifies the integrated system — not each model separately. The system's use case determines risk.
