Norm Ai + Microsoft: Legal and Compliance That Works Where Work Happens

Work moves faster with AI. Drafts multiply, decisions land earlier, and your review queue never seems to shrink. Standards don't get a pass just because output scales. They need to live inside the workflow, not wait at the end of it.

That is the gap Norm Ai closes. It carries your regulatory interpretation and firm policies straight into creation and decision-making, so governance runs continuously-right where people write, edit, and approve.

What Norm Ai Does (In Practical Terms)

  • Turns laws, regulations, and firm policies into AI agents that apply logic consistently and transparently.
  • Reviews work in context and explains why a change is needed, anchored to the exact text or slide.
  • Produces outcomes your team can defend because the reasoning mirrors how experts actually think.

This is powered by Legal Engineering-experienced attorneys translating regulatory judgment into machine-executable systems. The result: oversight that scales with output without giving up clarity or control.

Built on Microsoft Foundry. Available in Microsoft Marketplace.

Norm Ai runs on Microsoft's enterprise stack to meet accuracy, traceability, and accountability expectations. With enterprise-grade data protection, access management, and model governance on Azure, legal and compliance teams get what they need to operate at scale without adding risk.

Embedded in Microsoft 365 (Where Your Teams Already Work)

Norm Ai plugs into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Teams can review, revise, and finalize content without switching tools. The agents evaluate materials in place, flagging issues and explaining the "why" in plain language.

  • Missing disclosures
  • Unsupported claims
  • Conflicts with policy or regulator guidance

Business users resolve straightforward issues as they draft. Legal and compliance focus on the judgment calls that matter. Review cycles tighten. Back-and-forth drops. Final submissions enter approval cleaner and more consistent.

From Reactive Review to "Compliant by Design"

Standards apply continuously instead of at the tail end. Institutional judgment is preserved even as output accelerates. You get a single, secure environment to scale legal and compliance capacity-without lowering the bar.

Why Legal Leaders Care

  • Consistency: The same facts yield the same calls across teams, products, and regions.
  • Transparency: Clear, contextual explanations support audit, approvals, and regulator dialogue.
  • Speed with control: Draft-stage fixes remove friction before formal review.
  • Defensibility: Logic is explicit and repeatable, not a black box.

"We couldn't be more excited about our launch on Microsoft Marketplace. We view this collaboration as an essential component of Norm's story." - John Nay, CEO, Norm Ai

Where This Fits in Your Day-to-Day

  • Marketing and sales materials: Catch disclosures and substantiation gaps before circulation.
  • Product and policy updates: Apply firm rules consistently as content changes.
  • Board and investor decks: Ensure claims align with approvals and regulatory limits.
  • Reg change impact: Push updated interpretations into everyday drafting without retraining everyone.
