If you are a legal or compliance professional in Germany or the European Union, you know the pace of regulation is accelerating like never before. The legal landscape is changing dramatically, with a constant stream of new rules and directives. Major initiatives such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), and the AI Act are not incremental updates — they are redefining what it means to operate responsibly in today’s market.
On top of existing EU and national laws, these sweeping reforms have made compliance a growing challenge. Each new layer of regulation brings with it hundreds of pages of legal text, intricate obligations, and tight implementation timelines. For compliance and legal teams, the task is no longer just about monitoring updates, but about keeping pace with an entirely new era of financial compliance.
Ironically, in a world of unprecedented access to information, regulatory professionals often face less clarity, not more. Thousands of pages of legislation and technical standards create a “compliance fog,” where vital details are buried deep inside lengthy publications. The result is what many now describe as “compliance fatigue” — a constant struggle to keep up with regulatory monitoring and compliance monitoring, where the risk of missing a critical update grows with every passing month.
This isn’t just an operational burden. Delayed understanding or misinterpretation of regulatory requirements can quickly translate into serious business risks, including costly fines and reputational damage. The very act of searching for reliable information has become a challenge in itself.
A New Way to Approach Regulatory Horizon Scanning
This is why regulatory horizon scanning has become so important. It is no longer enough to react after new rules are published — institutions need to anticipate changes, prepare early, and align their compliance frameworks before deadlines arrive. Yet effective horizon scanning is only possible with the right tools.
At Kodex AI, we are proud to announce the launch of our free Regulatory Search — the first open access regulatory library designed to make horizon scanning and monitoring simpler, faster, and smarter.
Instead of piecing together updates from scattered sources, professionals can now explore a database of more than 4,500 publications from German and European regulators in a single place. The search works in plain natural language, allowing you to ask questions the way you would to a colleague — whether about the scope of the Digital Operational Resilience Act, the reporting requirements under CSRD, or the deadlines tied to new ESG directives.
But the real innovation lies in what happens after the search. Instead of returning only a list of links, each query generates an AI-powered summary highlighting the key details. Every search result includes its own clear summary, a timeline of implementation steps and deadlines, and a direct link to the official source. What once meant hours of manual review can now be understood at a glance, giving professionals both clarity and speed.
To handle future regulations, companies need to change their approach from being reactive to being proactive. The huge number of complex rules means that tracking them manually is no longer practical. By using artificial intelligence to handle the time-consuming work of searching and analyzing regulations, our platform frees up legal and compliance leaders to focus on more important strategic work, like providing expert advice and building a strong culture of compliance.
