Agentic Chat History Search lets you ask GC AI to find conversations across your chat history. GC AI surfaces matching chats with titles and summaries, links you back when you want to reopen one, and can read a relevant prior chat to bring that context into the conversation you are in now.
When to use it
Use Agentic Chat History Search when you:
- Use separate GC AI chats for different matters, clients, or topics and need to find the right one again later
- Remember what you discussed but not which chat it was in
- Want GC AI to find a prior chat, read it, and answer from that context without you hunting in the sidebar
Phrases like “search my history,” “find that chat where I asked about…,” or “what did we say about termination for convenience in the ToyCo chat?” tell GC AI to search your chat history rather than the web.
How it works
- You ask in chat using natural language (see example prompts below).
- GC AI searches your accessible chat history and returns matching conversations with titles, summaries, and links.
- GC AI can read a relevant prior chat and use what you discussed there to answer in your current conversation.
You may see Searched chat history and Read chat [title] indicators in the thread as GC AI works.
Example prompts
- “Find the chat where I compared Acme’s liability cap to our standard.”
- “Search my history for conversations about force majeure carve-outs.”
- “What did we conclude about the NDA template in an earlier chat?”
- “Find my past chats about GDPR data processing addenda and summarize what we decided.”

Projects and shared chats
Inside a project, GC AI can also list and read sibling chats in that project. Agentic Chat History Search covers your broader chat history, including chats outside the current project.
GC AI only searches conversations you have access to (your chats, shared chats, and project chats you can read). It does not surface conversations outside your permissions.
Tips
- Rename chats with descriptive titles (How to Rename a Chat) and use labels so sidebar search and history search both surface the right threads faster.
- For quoting or analyzing specific contract language, attach or link the source document in your current chat. Prior conversation summaries help you recall what you discussed; the source document is still the authority for clause-level claims.
