Microsoft wants lawyers to trust its new AI agent in Word documents

Microsoft has introduced Legal Agent in Word, an AI tool designed for legal teams.

The agent reviews contracts clause by clause, works with tracked changes, and flags risks and obligations.

It is rolling out to U.S. Frontier program members as part of Microsoft’s broader push toward agentic features in Word.

The move highlights Microsoft’s effort to tailor AI for specialized professional workflows, not just general-purpose assistance.
