Standards Core Office Copilots

Subject matter driven, easy to use AI for Standards, Specifications, Technical and Legal Documents

Standards Core empowers engineers, architects, legal and technical professionals, and technical writers to produce accurate, compliant documents directly inside Microsoft Word and Excel (now available on Microsoft Marketplace). Its multi-model Arbitrator AI architecture ensures that every suggestion is peer-reviewed by multiple models, increasing trust and safety in mission-critical documentation.

Every subscription includes both the Word and Excel add-ins, with a 31-day free trial and no commitment. After the trial, users can continue with a simple month-to-month subscription.
We actively partner with Standards Organizations and can provide complimentary access for their internal teams and direct collaborators.
For enterprise needs, we offer full deployment of the platform into the client’s own Azure environment or on-premises infrastructure.
Global know-how is more comprehensive than local know-how. We serve a truly global audience with translation available in 130+ languages and tailored user-interface experiences for more than 20 international locales.
We are independent and unbiased and do not accept any advertisements, product sponsorships, nor incentivized placement or ranking.
