EU AI Act.
The EU AI Act enters into force in phases across 2026. Below is the summary of the clauses that touch an AI customer-support assistant — what is your responsibility as deployer, what is ours as provider, and how helpcode is designed so you clear the audit without rewriting your flow.
In three points
.01
01 · Classification
A technical-customer-support AI typically falls under limited-risk for B2B deployment. helpcode ships the "AI system documentation" pack that satisfies art. 13.
.02
02 · Transparency
Every reply declares it was generated by AI. helpcode includes a configurable disclaimer for widget and voice. Conforms to art. 50.
.03
03 · Traceability
Audit log per answer: prompt, retrieval, model, document version, citation. Exportable in CSV or via API. Conforms to art. 12.
Responsibilities — split
