AIAgentree Implementation Playbook
Platform-specific implementation guide: how to satisfy Articles 9–14 with AIAgentree, with code samples, dashboards, and Annex IV templates. Email-gated.
- Article 12 logging — SDK install + automatic decision-trace capture, code samples in Python and TypeScript
- Article 14 human oversight — approval queue setup, override workflow configuration, escalation alert templates
- Annex IV technical documentation — pre-filled template for AIAgentree-instrumented systems
- Article 11 + Annex IV evidence export — one-click PDF/JSON/CSV reports for regulators
- Conformity assessment checklist — what notified bodies will ask for, page by page
This is the playbook for engineering teams using AIAgentree, not a copy of the regulation. For the regulation text and the EU's own assessment tools, see the official sources above.
