Relativity Brings Powerful Legal Data Intelligence to Microsoft Copilot, Expanding AI Assistant Support for Legal Teams

News Summary

• RelativityOne now integrates with Microsoft Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• This integration enables legal teams to automate RelativityOne administrative workflows in Copilot through natural language.
• The company’s continued efforts in expanding MCP integrations serve to extend Relativity solutions into the surfaces where legal professionals already do their work.

CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relativity, a legal data intelligence company, today announced that RelativityOne, its extensible AI platform for legal work, now integrates with Microsoft Copilot through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With this integration, legal teams can now use natural language in Copilot to execute administrative reporting capabilities directly within the RelativityOne environment without switching contexts or platforms.

“Copilot is now one more place our users can take action in RelativityOne in plain language without leaving Microsoft 365,” said Chris Brown, President, Relativity. “This accelerates administration, while aiR continues to transform the high-stakes legal work that demands deep context, and tight governance stays in RelativityOne.”

According to the International Legal Technology Association’s 2025 Legal Technology Survey of global law firms, Microsoft Copilot is the most widely used generative AI tool in the industry. It reports that Copilot is used by 68% of firms and 84% of the largest firms. Integrating RelativityOne with Copilot serves to enable legal professionals to work more seamlessly across the two surfaces.

“As legal teams embrace AI to transform how work gets done, the ability to securely connect enterprise knowledge, workflows, and data systems becomes increasingly important,” said Mala Anand, Executive Vice President & Chief Customer Officer at Microsoft. “By bringing RelativityOne into Microsoft 365 Copilot through MCP, we are enabling legal professionals to use natural language to orchestrate complex workflows, accelerate time to insight, and unlock the value of their data within a trusted AI-powered experience.”

By streamlining the work required to understand data structures, and manage users, teams can move faster from trigger event to analysis, while decisions still drive impact. The integration also delivers insights into data and usage patterns to reinforce best practices, strengthen governance, and support more informed decisions across matters, clients, and practice groups.

RelativityOne has long been a platform designed to be extended through APIs and a partner ecosystem. This Copilot integration further empowers Relativity’s user community to manage and tailor their RelativityOne environments to meet their unique needs, simplify operational tasks and ultimately focus more time on the consequential work that drives successful outcomes.

Relativity’s integration with Microsoft Copilot currently enables orchestration and reporting capabilities in Copilot Cowork, including standing up workspaces, organizing case data and managing legal operations through natural language. Reporting capabilities—such as analyzing workspace access and generating administrative reports—are enabled in Copilot Chat. Support for orchestration capabilities is planned to be added to Copilot Chat later this year.

Following the company’s recent moves to launch Relativity claiR in advanced access, plans to integrate Gavel‘s Word capabilities into RelativityOne, recent MCP expansions, this Copilot integration is the latest advancement in Relativity’s strategy of expanding RelativityOne to meet legal teams where and how they work.

Altimetrik Achieves the AWS Generative AI Specialization

BENGALURU, India, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Altimetrik, an AI-first digital engineering company, has achieved the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Generative AI Specialization, a new category launched within the AWS AI Competency. This specialization recognizes Altimetrik as an AWS Partner that helps customers leverage foundation models and related technologies to implement use cases across industries.

The AWS AI Competency Generative AI Specialization distinguishes Altimetrik as an AWS Partner with demonstrated technical expertise and customer success in building and deploying enterprise-grade generative AI solutions on AWS. Altimetrik has a proven track record of using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and other AWS AI services to help customers move beyond experimentation and deploy generative AI at scale.

“Achieving the AWS Generative AI Competency reflects the depth of our engineering expertise in designing and delivering enterprise AI capabilities on AWS,” said Farid Roshan, Global Head of AI Infused Digital at Altimetrik. “From responsible AI and governance to scalable architectures and emerging agentic patterns, this designation gives our clients added confidence that we’re applying proven engineering practices to turn AI into meaningful business outcomes.”

“Generative AI delivers the most value when it’s grounded in deep domain understanding,” said Gautam Samanta, Chief Revenue Officer at Altimetrik. “Across our clients, we’re combining decades of industry knowledge with the right technology capabilities on AWS to help them build AI solutions that scale with their business and stay aligned to their specific industry priorities.”  

Altimetrik’s generative AI work is built on ALTi AIOS™, a structured framework spanning 45 engineering disciplines that covers the design, deployment, and governance of enterprise AI solutions. On AWS, the company uses Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker to build GenAI-powered platforms that automate tasks, improve enterprise search, and create a single source of truth from fragmented data. Built-in guardrails for security, compliance, and cost tracking give organizations the confidence to scale generative AI across the business.

“Generative AI is forcing enterprises to confront whether their data, processes and governance are actually ready for enterprise-scale adoption,” said Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research. “The technology is moving faster than most operating environments can absorb it, which makes engineering discipline, governed workflows and clear human accountability critical. AWS’s validation of Altimetrik’s generative AI capabilities is significant because it demonstrates the company is building for production environments where AI solutions have to work securely, reliably and at scale, not simply perform well in another pilot.”

Altimetrik has already put these capabilities to work, helping a leading global financial intelligence and analytics provider build a GenAI-native Internal Developer Platform on AWS that streamlined how engineering teams work. The platform uses Amazon Bedrock and Titan embeddings to power an AI-driven coding companion and intelligent search across more than 70 code repositories, enabling developers to find and reuse existing work rather than start from scratch. The platform helped the provider accelerate delivery while maintaining compliance and cost control.

This Specialization ensures customers can confidently select partners who demonstrate validated expertise in building and implementing enterprise-grade AI agents. These specialized partners help organizations deploy autonomous AI systems that can handle end-to-end business processes across diverse use cases, including enterprise knowledge operations, intelligent process automation, autonomous customer operations, financial operations automation, and supply chain optimization.

“Generative AI is moving beyond experimentation, but scaling it requires more than capable models,” said Jimit Arora, CEO, Everest Group. “Enterprises need trusted data, embedded governance, observability, clear accountability, and the ability to integrate AI safely across real business workflows. Altimetrik’s AWS Generative AI recognition reflects the market’s shift toward production-grade generative AI and measurable business outcomes.”
