Norm AI and Microsoft bring compliance into daily workflows

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption across their organisations, the volume and velocity of work is growing faster than traditional legal and compliance processes can handle.

Content is produced more quickly, decisions are made earlier, and the gap between operational output and governance oversight is widening. Yet the obligation to meet regulatory, legal, and internal standards remains firmly in place.

Norm AI was built to close that gap. The company converts laws, regulations, and internal firm policies into AI agents capable of applying logic consistently and transparently. Rather than functioning as a post-production checkpoint, these agents operate continuously alongside the work itself — reviewing content in context, explaining their reasoning, and producing defensible outcomes that reflect how expert practitioners actually think.

Central to this approach is Norm AI’s Legal Engineering discipline, in which experienced attorneys translate regulatory interpretation into machine-executable systems. The result is firm-specific oversight that scales alongside enterprise output, without compromising clarity or governance integrity.

To embed this capability where work actually happens, Norm AI has integrated directly into Microsoft 365. Within Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, teams can review, revise, and finalise content without stepping outside their existing workflows. Norm’s AI agents evaluate material in place — identifying missing disclosures, unsupported claims, or policy conflicts — and anchor their reasoning directly to the relevant text or slide.

This embedded experience fundamentally changes how oversight functions in practice. Business teams are able to resolve straightforward compliance issues at the drafting stage, rather than waiting for downstream review. Legal and compliance teams, meanwhile, are freed from repetitive checks and can redirect their attention to the judgement calls that genuinely require human expertise. Review cycles shorten, back-and-forth between teams declines, and work arrives at formal approval stages in a cleaner, more consistent state.

The broader ambition behind Norm AI’s approach is a shift from reactive, after-the-fact review towards what the company describes as “compliant by design” — a model in which legal and compliance standards are woven directly into everyday workflows rather than applied retrospectively. Enterprises operating within this model gain a single, secure environment for scaling legal and compliance capacity without increasing risk, enabling teams to move faster with greater confidence.
