Overview
You can draft full documents and edit existing files without leaving the GC AI chat. Ask the AI to create a contract from scratch, or upload an agreement and ask for specific revisions. Each proposed change appears as a diff you can accept or reject individually.Generating a New Document
1. Start a chat and describe what you need
Type a request like:- “Draft an NDA between [Company A] and [Company B] with a two-year term and mutual obligations”
- “Create a remote work policy for a 200-person company with employees in California and New York”
- “Write a board memo summarizing our Q1 litigation exposure”
2. Download the result
GC AI generates a formatted Word document and presents it in the chat as a card with the document title, section count, and a download button. Click Download to save the .docx file.3. Iterate
If the draft needs changes, send a follow-up message:- “Make the indemnification mutual”
- “Add a section on data privacy obligations”
- “Shorten the governing law section and use Delaware”
Editing an Uploaded Document
1. Upload a file
Click the + button in the chat input, select Add from computer or Add from Files, and choose the document you want to edit. Drag-and-drop also works.2. Ask for revisions
Describe the changes you want:- “Review this NDA and suggest redlines to make the indemnification more favorable to us”
- “Tighten the termination clause and add a 30-day cure period”
- “Rewrite section 4 to comply with CCPA requirements”
3. Review proposed changes
GC AI presents each proposed revision as a diff showing the original text and the suggested replacement. For each revision, you can:- Accept to include the change
- Reject to keep the original text
4. Choose your apply mode (Word files)
For .docx files, you have two options before applying:- Tracked changes: The output Word file preserves redlines, so you (or opposing counsel) can see exactly what changed
- Direct replacement: Changes are applied cleanly with no markup
5. Download the edited file
After applying your accepted changes, download the updated document. The original file is preserved; GC AI creates a new version.6. Keep iterating
Send follow-up messages to request additional rounds of edits on the same document. Each round follows the same review-and-apply flow.Supported Formats
