TORONTO, May 21, 2024 – ���ϴ�ʪPosts (TSX/NYSE: TRI), a global content and technology company, today brought to life the combined power of ���ϴ�ʪPosts CoCounsel, its professional-grade AI Assistant with deep subject-matter expertise, with Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft's AI companion.

In a major leap forward in its collaboration with Microsoft, ���ϴ�ʪPosts today showcased, in an on-stage demo during the Microsoft Build 2024 keynote, how CoCounsel, working in Microsoft 365 and leveraging Copilot extensions, will complete complex work that used to take days and hours, in seconds, at a click of a button. All right where work happens.

Taking GenAI assistant know-how to the next level – the power of CoCounsel and Copilot will provide professionals with an unparalleled AI experience. With access to organizational insights and data, combined with CoCounsel’s trusted content, and actioned with Copilot’s knowledge of how and where professionals work – in Microsoft Word, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Teams – this new tool will provide ���ϴ�ʪPosts and Microsoft’s shared customers with a personalized AI experience that saves effort, reduces risk, and simplifies compliance.

Commenting, Kriti Sharma, chief product officer, LegalTech at ���ϴ�ʪPosts said, “Our customers are facing greater than ever complexity, with high stakes and high-effort tasks. Through the power of CoCounsel combined with Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, professionals will unlock the power of ���ϴ�ʪPosts trusted content and AI, combined with their own organizational insights and data, all in a personalized and elevated AI experience right in Microsoft’s environment - enjoying the benefits of saved time and effort with reduced risk.”

Sharma added “Our work with Microsoft demonstrates our commitment to offering our customers choice – the choice to use human-centric tools which suit them best, including those embedded where they already work. We are also focused on bringing this technology to our products in the right way – which means as quickly as possible while still giving our customers answers they can trust.”

Today’s demonstration represents another milestone in ���ϴ�ʪPosts vision to provide every professional it serves with a GenAI Assistant. CoCounsel is rooted in the company’s trusted content, with applications across legal, tax, risk & fraud and media. CoCounsel is an AI assistant that acts like a team member – handling complex tasks with natural language understanding.

Srini Raghavan, vice president, Microsoft Teams Ecosystem at Microsoft added, “We are committed to extending Microsoft Copilot to enable new functionalities for our customers. By integrating Microsoft Copilot with ���ϴ�ʪPosts extensive legal content and AI through CoCounsel— their innovative AI assistant— we are pleased to give professionals the ability to seamlessly access both proprietary and public content directly within their workflow to expedite regulatory compliance tasks.”

The on-stage demo of CoCounsel and Copilot today focused on a legal use case showcasing how a busy general counsel’s office, collaborating with their law firm, responds to a new regulation designed to tackle forced labor in supply chains. The legal, risk and compliance use case is one of many professional applications of this powerful tool that will save time and effort and reduce risk. It shows how CoCounsel, leveraging a Copilot extension in Microsoft 365, will help solve for the challenge of regulatory compliance in a fraction of the time compared to doing the work manually. This happens in Outlook, Word, Teams, SharePoint– wherever work happens – and brings insights from ���ϴ�ʪPosts products - with no need to navigate to a separate application.

• With just one click, users prompt CoCounsel and Copilot to work together to read an email and prepare recommended actions across legal, risk and compliance teams.
  
• CoCounsel, leveraging its Copilot extension, will analyse the customer’s own content combined with ���ϴ�ʪPosts proprietary content and provide trusted answers.
  
• Work will then happen in the app customers are working within, making work product recommendations for the user to review, revise and action – infusing insights from everyday work - such as meetings and colleague interactions.
  
• CoCounsel will bring the team together in the Microsoft 365 environment and, along with human oversight, complete work that used to take days, in seconds.
  

This functionality is underpinned by the trust and privacy customers have come to expect from both Microsoft and ���ϴ�ʪPosts.
