Microsoft's Legal Agent and competing tools from LiveRoute, LexDraft, and LawOffice.AI are now live in Word, each addressing specific workflows: contract review, multilingual translation, case management integration. This convergence signals the legal AI market has matured beyond experiment into sustained deployment. The shift mirrors broader enterprise software evolution—AI capabilities now embed into existing tools rather than forcing users to new platforms.
