Khairos × PNA
Khairos AI Comply is the product of a working partnership between Khairos and PNA, combining working AI software with the depth of a knowledge partner who has spent years in the regulation.
The collaboration
Khairos AI Comply exists because the EU AI Act is not something a 50-person company can navigate with legal jargon and €20,000 consultancy retainers. It needs a platform: training, documentation, an evidence file, an audit, everything a regulator asks for, delivered as software.
Getting that right requires two things: engineers who can build and ship product, and specialists who genuinely know the regulation. That is what this collaboration provides. Khairos builds the platform. PNA brings the knowledge base and regulatory depth. The result is a compliance product European SMEs can actually use.
The platform. Training, documentation, evidence file, audit workflow, all delivered as working AI software rather than a consultancy engagement. Built for European SMEs.

The knowledge partner. Deep expertise in EU regulation and compliance, contributing the substantive know-how that keeps the platform legally accurate and practically useful.
Khairos × PNA
The EU AI Act came into force in August 2024. Article 4, the AI literacy requirement, has been legally binding since February 2025. Enforcement begins August 2026. Most companies have done nothing. The few that have, hired consultants charging €20,000 retainers.
This collaboration exists because compliance should not be a luxury good. The platform delivers everything a regulator will ask for, training, documentation, evidence file, audit, for the price of one consulting day.
