GC AI can draft emails directly in chat. When you ask the AI to write, compose, or reply to an email, it creates a structured draft with editable fields that you can copy or open in your email client.

📝 Drafting an Email

Ask GC AI to draft an email in natural language. For example:
  • “Draft an email to opposing counsel about the scheduling conflict”
  • “Write a follow-up email to the vendor about the missing DPA”
  • “Reply to this email declining the proposed terms”
GC AI generates a draft card with pre-filled fields:
  • To - Recipient email address(es)
  • CC / BCC - Optional additional recipients
  • Subject - Email subject line
  • Body - The full email text
You don’t need to provide a recipient address. GC AI drafts the email with an empty To field, and you can add recipients when you open it in your email client.

✏️ Editing Your Draft

The email body appears in an editable text area within the draft card. Revise the wording, add details, or make any changes before sending.

📤 Sending Options

Once your draft is ready, you have two options:
  1. Copy - Copies the email body to your clipboard so you can paste it into any email client
  2. Open in Email Client - Opens a pre-filled compose window in your default email app or Gmail
    • Click the dropdown arrow on the button to switch between your default app and Gmail
    • Your preference is remembered for future drafts
If the email body exceeds URL length limits when opening in an email client, GC AI automatically copies the full body to your clipboard and shows a notification.

🔒 Privilege Marking

If you have privilege marking configured in your Personal Profile, a checkbox appears on email drafts:
  • Check Include privilege marking to prepend your privilege text to both the subject line and body
  • Uncheck it to send without the marking
This gives you per-email control over privilege marking without changing your profile settings.

💡 Tips

  • GC AI always generates a subject line, even if you don’t specify one
  • Provide context about the purpose and tone you want for better results
  • You can ask GC AI to revise the draft in a follow-up message, and it generates a new draft card
  • Email drafting works for emails only. For memos, letters, or Slack messages, GC AI responds in the chat thread instead
