Navigate regulatory requirements across jurisdictions — your operational details stay local.

Regulatory compliance is a moving target. Rules change, guidance is updated, and cross-border operations face overlapping obligations. Legalcode's regulatory compliance skill grounds your agent in current primary regulatory sources — statutes, regulations, official guidance, and supervisory authority publications — across 24 jurisdictions.

## How It Works

1. **Describe the activity locally** -- Tell the agent what your organisation does, which jurisdictions it operates in, and which regulatory area you want to assess. Your operational details stay on your machine — the agent queries only the regulatory framework from Legalcode's primary source database.

2. **Applicable regime map built** -- The skill identifies all applicable regulatory frameworks, their primary sources, and the supervisory authorities responsible — including sector-specific overlays where relevant.

3. **Obligation mapping** -- Key obligations, registration or licensing requirements, ongoing reporting duties, and prohibited activities are mapped to the applicable provisions.

4. **Gap analysis and next steps** -- The skill compares the described activity against the obligation map and identifies gaps, required actions, and a prioritised remediation list.

## FAQ

### I need to describe my actual operations for the compliance analysis. Is that safe?

Yes. Your operational descriptions stay entirely on your local device. The AI agent works with your facts locally and queries Legalcode only for the regulatory frameworks — statutes, regulations, and official guidance. Nothing about your operations is logged, stored, or retained.

### Which regulatory areas does Legalcode cover?

Core coverage includes data protection and privacy, financial services regulation, employment and labour law, competition and antitrust, environmental and ESG, and sector-specific rules for health, telecoms, and digital markets. Coverage depth varies by jurisdiction.

### Can I combine Legalcode with my internal compliance documents?

Yes — and that's a key advantage of working locally. Your AI agent can read your internal policies, compliance registers, and audit reports alongside the regulatory framework from Legalcode, all in one local session. No uploading to a third-party platform.

### How does the skill handle fast-moving regulatory areas like AI regulation?

Legalcode's database is updated daily from primary sources. For the EU AI Act and similar legislation, the skill tracks both the text of the regulation and official guidance as it is published by the relevant authority.
