Luminance expands AI power play with Compliance module launch

The innovation is the first in a series of team-specific agents which expand the company’s capabilities beyond legal and is designed to bring advanced intelligence to every part of a business that interacts with contracts.

The new Compliance module uses Luminance’s advanced agentic AI to automate key processes for compliance teams. Running complex, intelligent workflows to check internal policies and external sources such as regulations or sanction lists, Luminance allows organisations to identify and address risk earlier in the contracting process and to ensure compliance throughout a relationship.

“Luminance already has a deeply nuanced understanding of a business’s contracts end to end,” said Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance.

“With this launch, we’re turning that intelligence into action, giving compliance teams the tools they need to identify risk earlier, respond to change faster and work more strategically across the business. It’s a natural evolution following our Deep Insight release and a reflection of the growing demand we’re seeing across functions for our trustworthy agentic AI.”

Compliance checks now begin the moment a document is received. When Luminance sees a third-party agreement, it automatically identifies the relevant workflow and its agentic AI runs a series of tailored checks, aligned with the business’s specific obligations and risk profile.

For example, if a contract falls under the scope of DORA in the EU or CCPA in California, Luminance flags any areas of non-compliance, such as insufficient auditing rights, so they can be resolved immediately.

Any failed checks are automatically investigated and escalated to the compliance team, who receive a notification and a prioritised to-do list. From there, they can view exactly what suggestions will bring the agreement into line.

Beyond customer onboarding and negotiation workflows, Luminance provides compliance teams with a fully configurable dashboard showing real-time exposure across all active contracts. Whether it’s working with a sanctioned entity, operating in an embargoed jurisdiction, or handling agreements that fall under specific industry regulation, teams can spot potential issues early and act before they escalate. The result is a faster, more transparent, and more efficient approach to managing compliance across the business.

Developed by AI experts from the University of Cambridge, Luminance’s Legal-Grade™ AI automates and augments every touchpoint a business has with its contracts.

Its Mixture of Experts approach – known as the “Panel of Judges” - uses probabilistic consensus to ensure legal-grade accuracy during contract generation, negotiation and post-execution analysis.
