ClauseWatch: an agent that refuses to give you one number
This is a submission for the Sanity Challenge, Path One: Ship an Agent That Queries Real Content What I Built Ask any model how long you must keep AI system logs under the EU AI Act. It will say six months. That is true, and it is not the answer. AI Act Art. 19 makes the provider keep logs at least six months.

This submission addresses the challenge of creating an agent that queries real content for AI system logging requirements under the EU AI Act. The AI Act mandates providers to retain logs for at least six months (Art. 19) and deployers to retain logs for an unspecified period (Art. 26(6)). GDPR, however, requires personal data to be kept no longer than necessary, without specifying a timeframe.
The conflict arises because the two regulations set opposite constraints on log retention periods. ClauseWatch is an agent that reads a structured model of these obligations and presents both clauses with their citations. It highlights the fact that no decision has been made, as both clauses remain unsigned until someone resolves the conflict.
The dataset used by ClauseWatch includes the AI Act and GDPR texts, indexed and ready for querying. The agent provides a detailed report that shows the conflict between the two regulations, the source of each answer, and a clear explanation of the situation. The report is designed to be useful for auditors and compliance officers, as it presents the facts in a structured and transparent manner, without making assumptions or speculations.
