When you use GC AI to analyze contracts or draft policies, you might wonder how it keeps track of everything you’ve uploaded or asked. That’s where the context window comes in. In simple terms, the context window is the amount of information GC AI can “see” and work with at one time—like the working memory it uses to understand your documents and questions.

​
What Is a Context Window?

The context window is the maximum chunk of text—measured in tokens, which are bits of words or phrases—that GC AI can process in a single go. Imagine you’re handing a stack of papers to a colleague and asking them to summarize it. They can only handle so much before they lose track. For GC AI, this “stack” includes your uploaded documents, past chat messages, and your current question. The bigger the context window, the more GC AI can juggle without forgetting earlier details. For example, if you upload a 50-page contract and ask GC AI to flag risky clauses, the context window determines how much of that contract it can analyze at once. With a large context window, GC AI can look at the whole document—or even multiple documents—without needing to break it into smaller pieces.

Why It Matters for You

As an in-house counsel, you deal with complex legal work daily. Here’s how the context window helps:
  • Long Documents, No Problem: GC AI can handle documents up to 2500 pages in one shot. You don’t need to split that merger agreement into chunks—it sees the full picture.
  • Smarter Answers: Ask about a clause on page 45, and GC AI remembers the definitions from page 5. A bigger context window keeps everything connected.
  • Tailored Advice: If you’ve saved your company’s policies in GC AI, the context window lets it pull from that history to give you answers that fit your specific needs.
