Prototype 2025 AI Navigator Standards & Regulations

Magellan Navigator

AI-powered navigation of regulatory and standards content—delivering in-context insights from trusted, curated sources.

The Challenge

Standards and regulations are hard to navigate.
Generic AI isn't enough.

ESG consultants and their clients need to navigate complex webs of regulations and standards. Generic AI tools like ChatGPT lack the curation and trust needed for compliance work. Clients don't want to upload sensitive files to external tools—they need solutions that work within their environment.

Clients reluctant to upload sensitive context to external AI tools
The Solution

Trusted content. In-context insights. Multiple delivery options.

A notebook-style navigator that lets users discover and integrate regulatory and standards content as context, then query it with AI—getting cited answers from trusted sources. Available as a web application or deployed directly into Microsoft Teams.

Concept Walkthrough

From source discovery to actionable insights.

Project Notebooks

Users create project notebooks per topic of interest. Access regulations and standards via chat functionality, collaborate with team members, and organize research by engagement.

Project Notebooks

Navigator Workspace

Each notebook allows sources to be discovered and added from trusted curated libraries or open web. AI chat applies across documents in context, with markdown links back to sources. Notes and exports available.

Teams Integration: Chat

Alternative delivery via Microsoft Teams as a Co-Pilot chat agent. Query regulations and standards directly within the collaboration environment clients already use.

Teams Navigator Chat

Teams Integration: Files

Relevant in-context files selected by the user, accessible from the Files tab, maintaining corporate security and privacy policies. Upload documents, add from library, and manage project context without leaving Teams.

Teams Navigator Files

Teams Integration: Regulations

Regulations feed accessible and searchable by jurisdiction and topic. Browse EU, US, UK, and Australian environmental claims directives—add relevant ones as project context.

Teams Navigator Regulations

Teams Integration: Standards

Standards library searchable by category and status. ISO environmental labeling standards (14020 series) and other relevant frameworks available for selection and context integration.

Teams Navigator Standards

Teams Integration: Insights

Key insights can be tagged and saved from AI responses. Build a knowledge base of summaries, notes, and analysis—all linked back to source documents and regulations.

What we learned

1

Context is everything in the GenAI world

Clients expect and demand deep insights in the context of how they use and consume regulatory content. Strong UX for discovering and integrating relevant sources as context is essential.

2

Trusted curation still matters

Providing curation schemes that maintain trusted sources of truth remains critical—even more so than retail models like ChatGPT. Compliance decisions require verified sources.

3

Deployment location matters to clients

Clients don't want to upload sensitive files to external tools. Teams channel plug-ins deployed in their environment address this concern—especially for Microsoft-centric organizations.

4

MVP informs product integration

This prototype has been useful in informing how these digital experiences might integrate with existing product platforms and roadmaps—bridging innovation and established offerings.
