Release gates vs AI Act document generators
When a CI release gate fits and when an AI Act document generator fits. Both are useful; they answer different questions.
Two kinds of self-serve tool help with the EU AI Act. Document generators ask a questionnaire and produce policies, risk assessments and technical documentation templates. Release gates read the evidence your engineering pipeline already produces and decide whether a release has what it needs.
A document generator answers "what should our documentation say?". A release gate answers "does this release have the evidence, and who approved it?". Many teams need both at different stages.
| Aspect | Assurance OS | AI Act document generator |
|---|---|---|
| Main input | Engineering artifacts: model cards, eval runs, data contracts, registry records and approvals. | Answers to a questionnaire about the organisation and the AI system. |
| Main output | A release decision (PASS, REVIEW or BLOCKED) with cited blockers, plus a signed evidence pack. | Policy documents, risk assessments and documentation templates to edit and keep. |
| Where it runs | In CI/CD on every release, and in a web workspace for reviewers. | In a web app, usually when documents are first written or reviewed. |
| Who uses it most | AI engineering teams, with compliance and legal reviewing evidence and approvals. | Compliance generalists and founders writing documentation for the first time. |
| Change over time | Each release is checked again, so drift in evals or data contracts shows up as a gap. | Documents are updated when someone revisits the questionnaire. |
| Approvals | Multi-stage sign-off recorded in a hash-chained ledger. | Usually outside the tool, for example in email or a document workflow. |
Who should choose which
Choose Assurance OS if
- You ship AI features often and want a check that runs on every release.
- Your evidence already lives in pipelines, registries and eval tools.
- Buyers or auditors ask for evidence you can hand over and they can verify.
Choose a document generator if
- You need first-draft policies and documentation, and no engineering pipeline exists yet.
- Your AI use is mostly bought-in tools, so there is little release evidence to check.
- You want templates more than a gate.
