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. 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”
GC AI generates an updated document you can download again.

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.
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.”
