The Rich Text Composer
The chat input includes a formatting toolbar you can toggle with the Aa button. Instead of typing raw markdown, you can format prompts visually.
| Category | Options |
|---|
| Inline | Bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code |
| Block | Headings (H1, H2, H3), blockquote, code block |
| Lists | Bullet, numbered, checklist (with nesting) |
| Structure | Tables (insert via grid picker, add/remove rows and columns), links |
| History | Undo, redo |
Keyboard Shortcuts
Standard shortcuts work in the composer:
| Action | Mac | Windows |
|---|
| Bold | ⌘B | Ctrl+B |
| Italic | ⌘I | Ctrl+I |
| Undo | ⌘Z | Ctrl+Z |
| Redo | ⇧⌘Z | Ctrl+Y |
| Send message | ⌘Enter | Ctrl+Enter |
Press Enter to add a new line. Press ⌘Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows) to send your message.
Review this MSA. Check the indemnification section, the limitation of liability, and the termination provisions. For each one tell me if it favors us or the vendor and suggest redlines.
Formatted prompt using the composer:
Review this MSA and evaluate the following sections:
- Indemnification — Does it favor us or the vendor?
- Limitation of Liability — Does it favor us or the vendor?
- Termination Provisions — Does it favor us or the vendor?
For each section, suggest specific redlines to improve our position.
The formatted version makes it clear there are three separate analyses requested, each with the same two-part ask.
Tables in Prompts
Use the table grid picker in the toolbar to insert a table. Tables are useful for:
- Providing structured data for the AI to analyze (pricing terms, obligation trackers, comparison matrices)
- Requesting structured output (“fill in this table with your findings”)
- Organizing multi-variable comparisons
Once a table is in the composer, you can add or remove rows and columns using the table controls that appear.
Pasting Formatted Content
When you paste text from Word, Google Docs, email, or a webpage, the composer preserves the formatting (bold, lists, headings, tables). If the pasted content exceeds 6,000 characters, it is automatically uploaded as a file attachment instead.
The rich text composer is available on the web at app.gc.ai. Markdown syntax still works if you prefer typing it directly.
