- PDF Conversion Issues: PDFs that have been converted to
.docxfiles may result in formatting issues or unexpected behavior due to the conversion process.
General Usage
- As with any generative AI tool, double check outputs as hallucinations and errors can occur.
- Always verify legal accuracy and implications before sending client communications.
- Errors can occur while applying redlines and comments.
- Changing the formatting text can disrupt the output responses of the tool.
Context Window
A context window refers to the amount of text that the AI can analyze and consider at one time when processing your questions or requests.- Document Scope: GC AI uses the open document as context, subject to the model’s context window. For very large documents, use focused prompts or select the relevant text.
- Complex Formatting: While the add-in preserves most formatting, complex layouts, tables, and embedded objects may not be perfectly interpreted or replicated in the AI’s suggestions and modifications.
Feature Limitations
- Open Documents: GC AI works with one open Word document at a time. You can attach other files or select a project for more context.
- Document Formatting: You can format the document manually, but GC AI cannot reformat it in Word.
