Introducing 3E Agent: scaling trusted regulatory intelligence across your enterprise AI ecosystem

The 3E Agent extends the curated regulatory content, expert validation, and governed AI behind 3E intelligence, helping regulatory, R&D, EHS, procurement, supply chain, and other teams make earlier, more consistent, and more defensible decisions.

What is 3E Agent?

The 3E Agent puts 3E’s expert-curated regulatory content into the AI tools your organization already uses, including Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude. Questions get answered against verified 3E content rather than the open web or a general-purpose model working on its own.

Because the content sits inside your environment, an answer can draw on 3E’s regulatory data and your own product, supplier, and formulation data at the same time. Teams can get a direct answer or generate a document that combines both, without moving between systems.

The 3E Agent extends 3E’s products. Specialists keep working in depth inside those products, while the 3E Agent makes the same governed content available in your own AI environment, where colleagues outside those products can reach it and specialists can work with it against their own data. Use cases range from regulatory monitoring and regulatory change management to the more complex workflows your organization is building.

What the 3E Agent brings to regulatory work

Regulatory complexity is growing faster than teams can keep up with. More than 350,000 chemicals are in global commerce, obligations span more than 120 countries, and the people responsible for interpreting those requirements are already stretched thin. Teams need confidence in the security, accuracy, and quality of the information behind every answer.

Much of the recurring work involved in regulatory research is time-consuming: reading long legal documents, retyping data into spreadsheets, checking a formulation against regional lists market by market, then repeating the sweep for the next substance. That work puts your most senior regulatory experts' time on your lowest-judgment tasks, and because capacity is finite, you screen only the products you have time for.

The impact of those capacity limits extends beyond the compliance team. Colleagues elsewhere in the business need regulatory answers too; and when they can't get them directly, they file a request and wait. In many organizations, the answer to a regulatory question depends on who asks it, because teams work from different data extracts pulled at different times.

With 3E Agent, anyone who needs a regulatory answer can ask for one and get a cited response drawn from the same 3E-verified content. Horizon scanning, marketability checks, ingredient screening, dangerous goods lookups, and CSRD substance-of-concern identification can start with a question instead of a manual sweep through source documents and regional lists. A formulator weighing a substitution, a supply chain manager checking transport requirements, and a commercial team assessing a new market can work from the same regulatory foundation.

Your specialists keep their time and authority for the decisions that require judgment, while regulatory intelligence reaches more of the people making decisions across the business.

Starting with regulatory research and classification capabilities

3E Agent for regulatory research brings 3E's verified regulatory content into your enterprise AI environment. Your teams can screen substances before purchasing, assess whether a product can enter a new market, and monitor proposed and pending regulatory change, including substances of concern such as PFAS. Analyst-written overviews explain scope, thresholds, and obligations, and responses link back to the full-text legal source.

For organizations that use SAP Product Compliance, 3E Agent for classification applies 3E's hazard and transport classification logic inside your enterprise AI environment. Your teams can determine GHS hazard classes and dangerous goods transport requirements, ask questions directly about SDS content, and assess how a formulation change could affect classification before making it. R&D can access the same classification logic that regulatory and supply chain teams use later, which supports consistent decisions across regions and product lines.

Why a 3E answer holds up in regulated work

Whether an answer comes from a 3E product or through an enterprise AI tool, its defensibility comes from the content, provenance, expertise, and governance behind it.

3E has spent more than 35 years building and maintaining curated chemical and regulatory content. We cover substance-level regulatory status for more than 500,000 substances, drawn from over 3,200 regulatory lists. Our regulatory and data science team of more than 160 experts interprets and validates that content. Today helps more than 5,000 customers in over 50 countries manage safety, stewardship, compliance, and sustainability requirements worldwide.

That foundation carries into both delivery paths. An answer that may be reviewed months later needs a record of what it was based on, and with the 3E Agent that record traces back to 3E's verified regulatory content rather than general-purpose training data. Your AI tool is the interface; the intelligence behind the answer remains with 3E.

That approach to AI is backed by formal standards and controls. 3E is the first major product compliance and EHS&S software company certified to ISO/IEC 42001:2023, the international standard for AI management systems, and operates a responsible AI governance framework aligned with the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The certification provides independent validation of how 3E governs AI within its certified scope, whether AI is embedded in a 3E product or accessed through 3E Agent. Full details of our information security and data protection program are available in the 3E Trust Center.

Regulatory complexity keeps growing, and organizations can't scale up regulatory capacity by adding specialists alone. 3E's approach helps extend the reach of regulatory expertise: through AI embedded in the 3E products specialists use every day, and through the 3E Agent, which gives broader teams access to the same trusted foundation in their enterprise AI environments. Regulatory research and classification are the first capabilities available, with more to follow.
