​
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”
The more context you provide (parties, jurisdiction, key terms, tone), the better the first draft.

​
2. Edit in Easy Edit

GC AI generates a formatted Word document and automatically opens it in Easy Edit, so you can start editing right away. The document appears in a panel beside your chat with all the same tools available: revise clauses, draft new sections, add comments, and make manual edits with tracked changes.

​
3. Iterate

Send follow-up messages to refine the document:
  • “Make the indemnification mutual”
  • “Add a section on data privacy obligations”
  • “Shorten the governing law section and use Delaware”
GC AI applies each change as a tracked redline in the editor.

​
Editing an Uploaded Document

​
1. Upload a file and open Easy Edit

Click the + button in the chat input, select Add from computer or Add from Files, and choose the .docx document you want to edit. Drag-and-drop also works. Click the file to open it in Easy Edit, a live editor that opens in a panel beside your chat. GC AI also opens Easy Edit automatically when you ask it to revise or draft language in an uploaded document.

​
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”
  • “Draft a force majeure clause and add it after section 12”

​
3. Apply changes as tracked redlines

Each suggestion appears as a card showing the original and proposed text. For each one you can:
  • Apply it to the document as a tracked change
  • Dismiss it to keep the original
  • Edit the proposed text before applying
When GC AI proposes several revisions, apply or dismiss them all at once. You can also edit the document by hand with the formatting toolbar. Tracked changes are on by default; switch to clean editing if you don’t want markup.

​
4. Add comments and ask questions

Ask GC AI to add comments to the document: the rationale for a change, a flag for the counterparty, or an internal note. While the editor is open, you can also ask questions about the document, and GC AI answers based on its current state, including your latest edits.

​
5. Save and download

Your edits save back into your GC AI workspace automatically. Click Download a copy any time to save the .docx to your computer, with redlines preserved.

​
6. Keep iterating

Send follow-up messages to request additional rounds of edits on the same document, or make manual tweaks in the editor between rounds.
For the best results, be specific about what you want changed and why. “Make section 3 more favorable to us as the licensor” gives GC AI more to work with than “Fix section 3.”
Prefer to finish in Microsoft Word? Download a copy at any point and keep editing there, or use GC AI for Word to work with GC AI inside Word directly.
