Show HN: EuConform – Offline-first EU AI Act compliance tool (open source)

#1

Post by hiepler »

I built this as a personal open-source project to explore how EU AI Act requirements can be translated into concrete, inspectable technical checks.

The core idea is local-first compliance: – risk classification (Articles 5–15, incl. prohibited use cases) – bias evaluation using CrowS-Pairs – automatic Annex IV–oriented PDF reports – no cloud services or external APIs (browser-based + Ollama)

I’m especially interested in feedback on whether this kind of technical framing of AI regulation makes sense in real-world projects.

Hey there! I find the idea super relevant and I think compliance tools that can be used like this are the way forward.

Given the timeline of the commits and some other tells (e.g. using forwardRef despite using React 19 which deprecates it), it seems like you used coding assistants extensively. That's a personal preference, but I would mention that explicitly (if that's the case), if only for intellectual honesty.

"EuConform" <- I love the name. Not sure if you meant it as it reads, but I love it.

"you conform" is how it reads to me. which leaves a bad taste given the nature of it.

Fair point

The name is meant literally as “EU conformity” (EU + conform), not “you conform”.

I was aiming for something that signals regulatory alignment without sounding legal-heavy, but I get how it can read differently.

Thanks, appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

You’re right that the commit history doesn’t fully reflect the raw development process. I did some cleanup and squashing before publishing, since this is an open-source project and I wanted the history to be readable and reviewable.

I do use coding assistants as part of my workflow, mostly for iteration speed and boilerplate, but the architectural decisions, evaluation logic, and compliance mapping are intentional and manually reasoned through.

Happy to clarify any part of the implementation or assumptions if something looks odd.

Glad to see future builders focusing on bureaucratic compliance first & foremost. It's a stirring vision. This is a great European VC on Twitter you may want to tag about your project, he invests solely in GDPR-compliant European tech https://x.com/compliantvc
