Copilot AI Interface

The Copilot AI Interface provides a natural-language query interface for compliance questions. Unlike generic AI assistants, every query and response is logged, scoped to the user’s role, and auditable.

How It Works

Users ask compliance-related questions in natural language. The Copilot:

1. Identifies the user’s role and access permissions
2. Scopes the response to information the user is authorized to access
3. References the organization’s compliance documentation, policies, and regulatory frameworks
4. Generates a response with citations to source documents
5. Logs the query and response in the audit trail

Audit Trail

Every interaction is recorded:

• Who asked — The authenticated Microsoft identity
• What was asked — The full query text
• What was returned — The complete response
• What sources were cited — Document references and regulatory citations
• When — UTC timestamp

This audit trail is available to administrators and is included in compliance evidence exports when relevant.

Role-Scoped Responses

The Copilot enforces the minimum necessary principle:

• A user without PHI access will not receive responses containing protected health information
• Responses are limited to the compliance domains assigned to the user’s role
• Administrative queries are restricted to users with administrative roles

Example Use Cases

• “What are our HIPAA breach notification obligations?”
• “When does our COI with [subcontractor] expire?”
• “What are the essential duties documented for the Warehouse Associate role?”
• “What is our current EMR and how does it compare to industry average?”
• “Which FROI fields are required for Texas state filing?”

Vendor Independence

The Copilot AI Interface is vendor-independent. It validates AI accuracy regardless of the underlying AI provider. This is a core differentiator — AlignSure tests and validates AI outputs rather than replacing human judgment.
