​
Can it read tracked changes?

Yes, it can read and analyze tracked changes so you can ask for a summary of your counter-party’s redlines. Note that this feature is only available for PDF and Word files uploaded since August 18, 2025.

​
Can it read comments?

Yes, it can read all comments as well as who wrote them in the document. Note that this feature is only available for PDF and Word files uploaded since August 18, 2025.

​
Can it make comments for me?

When the AI generates a redline for you it gives you the option to generate a comment for it as well. We will be adding a feature soon that will allow you to just ask GC AI in the chat to generate comments on your behalf.

​
Can I draft from scratch in GC AI in Word?

Yes, GC AI can draft contracts for you from scratch but it’s designed at customizing existing templates.

​
Can I handoff between Word and the web application?

Yes, GC AI lets you start your conversation in Word or on the web, and continue it in either place. See the Word icon in your Chat history.

​
When should I use GC AI for Word vs the web application?

GC AI for Word was developed with contract review in mind, so any time you want to review a single document or draft, GC AI for Word is best. Use the web for everything else–research, questions across multiple documents, or business tasks. Currently GC AI for Word only allows for single documents, and does not have multi-document support (though both those features are coming soon).

​
Can it recognize multiple rounds of edits or only the initial first-round markup from the counterparty?

GC AI for Word can see all the tracked changes and the dates they were made.

​
Is the tool more helpful for simpler agreements like NDAs, or can it tackle more complex and much longer agreements?

The tool is most helpful for simpler agreements but it can also handle more complex and longer agreements. The more complex the agreement, the more you have to prompt.

​
Does this help if you want to merge two contracts, say a teaming agreement with a simple option agreement?

Not yet. While GC AI for Word can help you analyze and edit individual contracts, it currently does not have the capability to merge multiple contracts together.

​
What about document scrubs e.g. making sure that cross-references line up, using correct defined terms etc?

This functionality is coming soon.

​
Does this tool correct sections referenced in other sections? E.g., “see Section 14(b) of the Agreement,” except now the referenced Section is really 14(c)?

This functionality is coming soon.

​
Can the AI directly trigger Outlook or an equivalent to prepare the email?

Not yet, but this feature is on the roadmap.

​
Privacy & Security

​
If I send the document to a third party, will they know that I used GC AI?

No, the Word document will only make changes or comments as you the author. No third party will know that it was used by GC AI.

​
Does the Word document show a stamp/indicator that it was co-reviewed by GC AI?

No, the Word document will only make changes or comments as you the author. No one will ever see that it was co-reviewed by GC AI.

​
If multiple people on my team use GC AI, will the tone of comments be tailored to the person, given people have different styles?

Not yet but that is on the roadmap!

​
If you update your company profile on your main account page to give added context for more helpful comments/responses in Word, do those updates feed into the Word plugin automatically?

Yes, GC AI for Word makes use of the company profile you configure in the web application.

​
Does it assimilate the comments back from your different departments?

This functionality is coming soon.

​
Technical

​
What file formats are supported?

GC AI for Word only supports Microsoft Word .docx files. Legacy .doc files are not supported and must be converted to .docx format before use. You can convert .doc files to .docx by following Microsoft’s conversion guide. Note: PDFs that have been converted to .docx files may result in formatting issues or unexpected behavior due to the conversion process.

​
What models do you use?

We use several different models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google for different parts of the GC AI for Word experience and are always evaluating new models to see how they can provide better performance for you. Learn more about our AI models here.

What information was GC AI trained on in order to provide the redline feedback?

GC AI uses a combination of legal documents, contracts, and legal knowledge to provide redline feedback. The system is designed to understand legal terminology and standard contract provisions.

​
Are there any known scale limits for GC AI (e.g., concurrent users, document size, etc.)?

Documents exceeding ~1000 pages cannot be processed by the tool. For enterprise-scale usage, please contact support@gc.ai for specific limits and recommendations.

​
Once you reset a chat, can you go back to old chats for review?

Chat history is maintained within your current session. When you reset a chat, previous conversations in that session are cleared, but you can start new conversations.

​
How does GC AI for Word interact with Microsoft CoPilot? Can I use both?

​
How much of this functionality is available organically in a tool like Co-Pilot, and how much of this is only available through GC AI?

Do you have to work the NDA through with individual prompts every time or can you also generate a “NDA to do list” under which the AI completes the entire review with redlines and comments in one step?

This functionality is coming soon with the Playbooks feature.

​
Can you upload a policy that includes the terms you would want in a contract - confidentiality clause, indemnification, severability, fees, etc. and have GCAI use that policy as its prompt or checklist when reviewing every contract?

Yes, with the Playbooks feature (currently in Alpha testing), you can create playbooks that include your preferred terms and positions. Alpha access is available via waitlist, and we are currently onboarding teams individually.

​
How do I make a playbook if I don’t have one?

With the Playbooks feature (currently in Alpha testing), you can use one of our official playbooks for MSAs, DPAs or NDAs and customize it to your liking. We are also launching a feature that will let you upload your template agreement and/or redlined agreements and it can create a GC AI playbook out of it. We also offer professional services to help you create a playbook.

Can I use AI to make a playbook? For example, could I give it 20 NDAs and have it make a playbook that says we do give x, we don’t give y, etc.?

This functionality is coming soon with the Playbooks feature.
