Grant Thornton LLP, a leading provider of audit, tax, and advisory services in the U.S., has launched CompliAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence platform designed to transform how its professionals manage risk and compliance. Developed using Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, the solution marks a pivotal step in the firm’s broader adoption of AI to enhance client outcomes.
CompliAI operates as a fully integrated web application, utilizing generative AI and GPT models to speed up traditionally time-consuming compliance tasks. The platform allows engagement teams to complete work in minutes rather than days, delivering operational insights to clients with greater speed and efficiency.
