Its legal services team built a Copilot Studio agent that generates an initial draft and supports review of legal documents, cutting document-handling and processing time by an estimated five to ten times, while active AI usage reached 95% of employees monthly and 86% weekly.","company":"Íslandsbanki","industry":"Financial Services","country":"Iceland","aiCapabilities":["Document Intelligence","Agentic AI","Code Generation"],"businessFunctions":["Legal & Compliance"],"technology":["Microsoft 365 Copilot","GitHub Copilot","Microsoft Azure","Microsoft Copilot Studio","Microsoft Foundry"],"deployment":"On-Premise","problemStatement":"Íslandsbanki's early adoption of AI needed stronger guardrails to maintain regulatory compliance with strict governmental financial requirements; as a small bank it faces the same EU/EEA regulatory burden as much larger institutions, and pilots with several AI providers couldn't be used directly in everyday processes due to compliance issues or deliver the capabilities needed for its regulatory burdens, while adoption lagged outside isolated developmental pilots.","solutionApproach":"Building on its existing Microsoft 365 and GitHub Copilot licenses, Íslandsbanki deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure, Microsoft Copilot Studio and Microsoft Foundry. Business and IT teams used Copilot Studio to build custom AI agents automating business processes, and Microsoft Foundry provided a separate, governed environment to build and test AI solutions against compliance requirements before wider rollout. Its legal services team used Copilot Studio to build an agent that drafts and supports review of legal documents.","businessValue":"Íslandsbanki's legal document-handling and processing times decreased by approximately five to ten times using a Copilot Studio agent, developers increased the speed of software development and delivery with GitHub Copilot, and the bank reached close to 95% monthly active users and about 86% weekly active users across its Copilot rollout.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.microsoft.com/en/customers/story/27378-islandsbanki-microsoft-365-copilot","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-10-09T05:45:24.082Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-10-09T05:45:24.082Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/slandsbanki-cuts-legal-document-review-time-5-10x-with-a-microsoft-copilot-studio-ai-agent.
