Onspring moves AI from assistant to agent, enabling teams to automate rules-based work across platforms within admin-defined controls.
Onspring, a leading provider of integrated GRC software, announced the next phase of Onspring AI, introducing technology that automates workflow and rules-based decision-making within boundaries set by system administrators (admins). Onspring AI has the ability to work across platforms, helping GRC professionals move beyond manual execution with a managed assistant that puts users in control.
This upgrade brings changes to the way Onspring’s AI works, allowing administrators to define rules that prompt agent actions. The Assistant resides on every screen, enabling connections between workflows to make contextual decisions and provide answers from all records and applications in your GRC program.
According to Onspring’s 2026 GRC Benchmark Report, GRC teams believe the clearest short-term value of AI lies in reducing repetitive administrative tasks. At the same time, the report showed that reliability concerns, fragmented workflows, and uneven proof of value are shaping broader adoption. Onspring’s Agentic AI eliminates this fragmentation by extending AI across the platform while keeping governance at the forefront of every action.
“Onspring is excited to partner with Onspring,” said Ryan Lougheed, vice president of platforms at Onspring. “We understand that there are legitimate concerns about letting AI perform actions in GRC workflows.” “This next phase of Onspring AI was built to directly answer that concern. Admins define the rules, teams decide where automation belongs, and all actions are visible and auditable within the platform.”

Onspring AI supports GRC use cases across search, analysis, and configuration. Powered by Anthropic’s Claude, these capabilities are designed to help teams turn platform-wide intelligence into managed actions.
- From iterative management to autonomous action: 70% of GRC practitioners say simplifying repeatable administrative tasks is the biggest opportunity for AI. Onspring AI reviews documents the moment they are attached, without prompting, and uncovers management gaps and non-conforming policy documents.
- AI teammates: Gathering and reviewing documentation consumes nearly a third of a practitioner’s week. Onspring AI acts as an energetic teammate, automatically generating third-party follow-ups and reviewing policy documents against your organization’s standards, reducing workflows from days to minutes.
- One question for every record: 44% of GRC programs are still in the AI experimentation phase, and siled data continues to limit progress. Onspring AI enables teams to perform enterprise-wide risk exposure analysis across audits, assessments, and incident logs all at once in one conversation.
- Managed AI, not rogue AI: Losing control of AI is a concern among top leaders. Teams can build vetted prompts and configurations once with Onspring and deploy them across their environments to maintain AI consistency, control, and scalability.
“Our research shows that GRC teams recognize the potential of leveraging AI to reduce repetitive administrative tasks,” Lougheed added. “Onspring AI helps teams build routines of controlled action, allowing agents to take over mundane tasks and providing human touch for judgment calls and strategic decision-making.”
