Microsoft has introduced a legal-document AI agent for Word called Legal Agent, it said on April 30 local time. The tool is designed to handle repetitive tasks in contract review and negotiation so legal professionals can focus on key judgments. It follows a structured workflow based on playbooks and provides functions including full-contract analysis, clause review, version comparison and redlining. It is available in the United States via the Windows desktop Word Frontier Program.

Hancom said on Wednesday it has released as open source an AI function that automatically generates and inserts accessibility tags for PDF documents. The company distributed the feature by building it into OpenDataLoader PDF. It said the move allows companies and public institutions to convert large volumes of PDFs into accessible documents without additional costs or per-document charges, as demand rises amid U.S., European and South Korean accessibility regulations.
