Automate contractor provenance and protect your studio from contractor AI liabilities before you hand over final assets.
Arkiv 2.0 is a frictionless compliance intake pipeline built specifically for creative agencies under the EU AI Act.
Using a zero-upload architecture, sensitive client brand IP never leaves your machine. External contractors can instantly declare AI usage via a secure link with zero onboarding, giving you an immutable, on-chain audit trail.

Hey folks,
I’m Marc, founder of Arkiv.
When you run a studio, your external contractor network is everything. They help you scale up and hit tight deadlines. You trust them, you pay them, and you hand the final files over to your client.
But behind the scenes right now, enterprise clients are panicking. Under the new EU AI Act rules, brands can face massive fines for using undisclosed AI content. To cover their own backs, corporate legal teams are quietly rewriting vendor contracts, forcing creative agencies to guarantee that 100% of the deliverables handed over are clean and verified.
This leaves studio owners holding a massive liability risk: How do you actually prove your contractors didn’t secretly use Gen-AI to speed up their workflow?
Big clients are contractually forcing design studios to prove their workflows are clean. Arkiv 2.0 keeps it dead simple:
- 10-Second Check: Contractors declare their AI status via a secure web link at handoff.
- Zero-Upload Privacy: File fingerprinting happens entirely in the local browser, so unreleased client designs are never exposed to a third-party database.
- Automatic Evidence: You build a permanent audit trail of due diligence before releasing final milestone payments.
Would love to answer any questions you may have.
Many thanks,
Marc
