Background

Recent findings show that 77% of workers disclose confidential business information via ChatGPT and other cloud AI platforms, posing significant security and compliance challenges. Given Microsoft Word’s status as a widely used word processor, it’s not surprising that some workers might transfer sensitive information to these external AI services by copying and pasting.

In light of these concerns, organizations are increasingly turning to on‑premise Large Language Models (LLMs) to safeguard sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. By hosting LLMs internally, businesses can exert greater control over their information environments, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches associated with external cloud services.

Solution: IBM Granite 4 Series with LocPilot

For legal professionals, the implications of these findings are particularly significant. Addressing security concerns, they now have an effective solution available:

  • IBM Granite 4 series models for contract analysis
  • Seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Word via a local Word Add‑in named LocPilot

LocPilot brings local LLMs to Microsoft Word, allowing your team to:

  • Run powerful LLMs directly on their computers or an intranet server
  • Eliminate the need for cloud services and monthly fees
  • Ensure complete privacy of sensitive documents
  • Switch effortlessly between models to work more efficiently, all within a local environment
