Install GC AI as a Desktop App
GC AI adds desktop app installation from Chrome, Edge, and Safari, letting users open the secure web app in its own window with Dock or taskbar access. It keeps the same app.gc.ai experience, updates automatically, and supports easy uninstalling.
Install GC AI from Chrome, Edge, or Safari so it opens in its own window instead of a browser tab.
Why install GC AI?
Installing GC AI as a desktop app keeps it in its own window, with its own Dock or taskbar icon, so it does not get lost among browser tabs. You still use the same secure web app at app.gc.ai. Nothing native is installed beyond a shortcut to that site.
Before you start
- Open app.gc.ai in Chrome, Edge, or Safari.
- Sign in with your GC AI account.
Chrome (macOS, Windows, ChromeOS)
- Stay on app.gc.ai after you sign in.
- Open the Chrome menu (⋮, top right).
- Select Cast, save, and share → Install GC AI…. If Chrome shows an Install icon in the address bar, you can use that instead.
- Confirm Install.
- GC AI opens in its own window. Pin it to your Dock or taskbar if you want one-click access.
Microsoft Edge (Windows and macOS)
- Stay on app.gc.ai after you sign in.
- Open the Edge menu (…, top right).
- Select Apps → Install GC AI. If you don’t see Apps, open More tools first.
- Confirm Install.
- GC AI opens in its own window. On Windows, pin it to the taskbar or Start menu when Edge offers it. On macOS, right-click its Dock icon and choose Options → Keep in Dock.
Safari (macOS)
- Stay on app.gc.ai after you sign in.
- Choose File → Add to Dock (Safari 17+), or use the Share button and select Add to Dock.
- GC AI appears in your Dock like other apps.
On iPhone or iPad, use Share → Add to Home Screen.
After you install
You get the same GC AI experience in a dedicated window:
- Sign in once in the installed window. Your session follows the same account as the browser.
- Updates land automatically when you reopen the app. There is no separate updater to manage.
- Unpinning GC AI from your Dock or taskbar only removes the shortcut. To uninstall it:
- Chrome: open the GC AI window, open its menu (⋮), and select Uninstall GC AI….
- Edge: go to edge://apps, open the menu (…) on GC AI, and select Uninstall.
- Safari: in Finder, open your Applications folder and move GC AI to the Trash.

Projects
GC AI introduces Projects, a shared workspace for chats and files that keeps context across conversations. Users can manage project settings, instructions, visibility, permissions, pinned projects, and linked files or folders, with approval prompts before changes are made.
Projects let you organize related work into a single workspace. Each project brings together chats and files so your AI conversations share context automatically.
🗂️ What Projects Do
A project acts as a container for everything related to a matter, deal, or initiative. When you create a chat inside a project, GC AI can:
- Access all files linked to the project
- Read other chats in the same project for cross-conversation context
- Follow custom instructions you set at the project level
This means you spend less time re-uploading files or repeating background information across chats.
Manage projects from chat
Ask GC AI to find a project, show its settings, or make a change:
- “Create a private project called Supplier Renewals.”
- “Rename Supplier Renewals to Vendor Reviews.”
- “Clear the description, but keep the chat instructions.”
- “Pin Vendor Reviews.”
- “Move this conversation to Vendor Reviews.”
GC AI shows a proposal before it creates, edits, pins, unpins, deletes, or moves anything. Review the target and proposed changes, then choose Approve or Deny. Your existing project permissions still apply.
You can update a project’s name, description, chat instructions, and default company profile. Fields you do not ask to change stay as they are. New projects are private unless you request organization visibility.
Ask GC AI to link or unlink existing files, folders, and Contract Intelligence vaults. You can ask GC AI to add files already attached to the chat to the project. Use the project’s upload controls to select new files from your computer or Google Drive.
Removing a chat from a project keeps the chat. Deleting a project keeps its underlying chats and files, but removes their links to that project.
🧩 Project Components
Custom Instructions
Each project has an Instructions section on the right sidebar where you can provide guidance that applies to every chat in the project. Use this for matter-specific context, preferred formatting, or standing directions that GC AI should follow. You need Edit access (or be the project owner) to edit instructions.
Company profile
A project can have one default company profile. New chats in the project use this profile instead of each member’s personal default.
Members can use the project default in that project’s chats. This access does not let them view or edit the profile elsewhere.
You need Edit or Admin access to change the project default.
Set the default from a project chat’s company profile picker. You can also set it when you create or edit the project.
See Create and manage a company profile for steps and screenshots.
Chats
Every project has its own chat list. You can start new chats directly from the project page or move existing chats into the project. Drag chats from the left sidebar into the project’s Previous chats section, or use the chat menu to add or move a chat. You can also remove a chat from the project through the chat menu on the project page.
A chat belongs to one project at a time. When GC AI responds in a project chat, it can reference information from sibling chats in the same project, giving it awareness of your prior work.
Files
You can add files to a project in several ways:
- Upload from your computer (individual files or folders)
- Import from Google Drive (when connected)
- Add from Files to link existing files or folders from your organization’s file library
- Drag and drop files directly onto the project page
- Ask in chat to add files from the conversation to a named project. Say which files and which project. GC AI shows what it will add, and nothing changes until you approve.
All files linked to a project are available to every chat in that project. GC AI can search and reference them without you needing to attach them to each conversation. When you link a folder, any files added to that folder later are automatically included.
Sharing and visibility
A project works like a shared folder. Anyone who can view the project can also view its chats and linked files.
Projects have two visibility modes:
- Private: Only invited members can see the project, its chats, and its files. The Owner is the creator unless ownership has been transferred.
- Organization: Everyone in your organization can view the project, including its chats and files. Edit access still requires an explicit grant.
You can change visibility in the Share dialog on the project page. The project header shows Shared with your organization when visibility is Organization.
Note: Organization visibility covers every chat and file in the project. A chat can still have its own share list for people you add directly. Everyone in your organization can still view that chat through the project.
When you invite someone to a Private project, they automatically get read access to the files and folders linked to it, and they can view the project’s chats.
Access Levels
In the Share dialog you assign each member either View or Edit access. The project Owner appears in the Share dialog with full Admin access. By default that is the person who created the project. The Owner can transfer ownership to another organization member.
Access in the Share dialog | Permissions
View | View the project, its chats, and files. Use AI with project context.
Edit | Everything in View, plus add and edit chats, files, and instructions. Connect automations you created. Invite or change View and Edit members.
Owner | Holds full Admin access (see below) and appears as the Owner in the Share dialog. Can grant Owner and change Private or Organization visibility.
Edit collaborators can invite people and groups as View or Edit. Only an Owner can grant Owner, change visibility, or manage group Owner grants. Deleting a project still requires Admin access, which Owners have by default. Only the current Owner can transfer ownership. The Share dialog does not offer a separate Admin option. Extra Owners appear as Owner.
Transfer Ownership
If you are the project Owner, open Share, open the access menu for another organization member, and choose Transfer ownership. Confirm the transfer. The new Owner gets Admin access. You keep Edit access so you can still work in the project.
📍 Where to Find Projects
- Left sidebar: Your project list appears in the sidebar for quick navigation. You can hide individual projects from the sidebar through the project menu without leaving them.
- Projects page: Browse all projects, search, and create new ones
- Pinned projects: Pin frequently used projects to keep them at the top of your list
- Word add-in: Select an active project from the project picker in GC AI for Word
✏️ Editing a Project
You can edit a project’s name and description from the project menu in the header. Visibility is managed separately through the Share dialog.
⚠️ Limits and Requirements
- Projects are scoped to your organization
- A chat can belong to only one project at a time
- Only the chat creator can move or remove a chat from a project
- Cross-chat context is limited to the most recent 50 messages per sibling chat
- Deleting a project unlinks its chats and files but does not delete the underlying content
- Deleting a project requires Admin access, which the Owner has by default
- The Owner can transfer ownership to another organization member from the Share dialog
- Non-owners can leave a project through the project menu
💡 Word Add-in
When you select a project in GC AI for Word, chats you start use that project’s context. Files referenced in a Word chat are not automatically added to the project. You need to upload or add those files to the project separately so they are available to other project chats.
For step-by-step setup instructions, see How to create a project.

August 2026
GC AI adds OneNote connectivity, Vault document naming templates, file-name import filters, chat download and labeling tools, and stronger admin approval controls for web, links, and images. It also improves Word redlines and comment timing while fixing several Web and Word issues.
Improvements
Web
- Connect Microsoft OneNote: Connect OneNote from Settings so GC AI can search your notebooks, read page content, and create or update pages from chat.
- Naming templates for Vault documents: Open Edit naming template from a Vault’s Fields page or the Document Name column header. Build a template from document fields, preview the result, and apply it across the vault. New scans and reapplies name documents from the template instead of AI-generated titles.
- Filter Vault imports by file name: When you add a source, expand What to import to set a file-name rule. Only matching files sync in. Edit the same rule from the source card on the Sources page.
- Relationship detection progress: While GC AI finds related documents, the Relationships column header shows a spinner with a Finding related documents… tooltip. Rows the scan has not reached yet show a skeleton instead of No relationships. The document side panel’s Related tab shows the same in-progress state.
- Download a full vault chat: In Contract Intelligence vault chat, use Download in the sidebar header to export the whole thread as one PDF or DOCX, with the same format and citation options as main chat.
- Label vault chats from the sidebar: Assign chat labels from the Labels dropdown in the Contract Intelligence vault chat sidebar, so labeled vault conversations show up in your label filters.
- Clearer compound file rows: When one uploaded file holds several agreements, each extracted document shows as its own row in the Vault table. Siblings share a dim subline with the file name and n of m instead of a grouped banner row, so you can scan related documents faster.
- Rewrite with Easy Prompt on sent messages: Hover a message you sent and choose Rewrite with Easy Prompt to tighten the prompt without retyping it.
- Web, link, and image approval controls for admins: Organization admins now see Web Page Policy and Links and Images Policy under Settings → Organization. Turn on approval before GC AI reads a specific web page, or before outbound links and embedded images load in a response.
Word
- AI redlines match your Word name color: Tracked changes from GC AI use the same color Word assigns to your user name.
- Comment dates match Word’s clock: Comment timestamps in generated documents align with the wall clock Word displays.
Fixes
Web
- Fixed an issue where batch apply and download replayed edits across every open document instead of only the one you were working on.
- Fixed an issue where editDocument could hang when the target file could not be edited.
- Fixed an issue where a Dropbox import filter could block adding a source even when the rule was valid.
- Fixed an issue where Google Drive tools failed on shared drives.
- Fixed an issue where deleting a chat during an active turn could race with the in-progress response.
- Fixed an issue where garbled text in some PDFs was not routed to OCR.
- Fixed an issue where the Contract Intelligence chat icon was missing from the sidebar.
Word
- Fixed an issue where AI table edits could land in the wrong cell when a bookmark range was reused.
- Fixed an issue where label-cell blank lines appeared in AI-generated table XML.
- Fixed an issue where redline context could drop after certain document operations.

Type / in the chat box to search your skills and GC AI Skills. Press Enter or click one to attach it. On desktop, the skill appears as a chip in your message. Keep typing the question next to it. On a phone, attached skills appear as compact badges above the box. You can still browse skills from the + menu.
See Using Skills in Chat.
Improvements
Web
- File, skill, playbook, vault, and folder chips are more compact in the chat box, on sent messages, and in project files.

Contract Intelligence
GC AI introduces Contract Intelligence, now generally available, to centralize contracts, policies, and agreements in one Vault and ask questions across them with cited answers. It adds guided setup, cross-source document import, sortable views, execution status tracking, connected agreements, and CSV export.
Contract Intelligence is now generally available. Bring thousands of contracts, policies, and agreements into one place and ask questions across all of them at once. GC AI reads every document, pulls the information you care about into a sortable View with citations, connects related agreements, and keeps everything current as your documents change.
Create a Vault in a guided chat
Describe your documents and what you want to track, and GC AI drafts the columns to extract for you to adjust. Bring documents in from Google Drive, Microsoft SharePoint, OneDrive, or Dropbox, or upload PDF, Word, and text files directly. A single Vault can pull from more than one source, so documents scattered across systems come together without a migration.
Ask plain-language questions across your whole portfolio and GC AI answers from every document, filtering the View to the agreements behind the answer at the same time. Every value carries a citation, so View source opens the document with the exact passage highlighted and you can verify any answer in one click. Save any set of filters, sorts, and columns as a named view that persists in the Vault for your whole team to return to, and export the current view to CSV.
GC AI also works out what you would otherwise tag by hand. It detects the execution status of every agreement as Executed, Partially Executed, Unsigned, or Draft, so you can separate what is in force from what is still in negotiation and catch the partially executed ones, where one party signed and the other never did. It connects amendments, renewals, and SOWs to the agreements they belong to, then rolls up a Current Terms view showing what governs today across each contract family. It gives every document a clean, standardized name in the convention you set, and splits a single file that holds several agreements into one row each. Your source files are never modified.
Link a Vault to a Project and the Project’s chat can query its documents alongside your other matter material.
Learn more in the Contract Intelligence guide, or see the FAQ.

July 2026 Update
GC AI adds a smoother workspace with sidebar project search, cleaner chat reasoning display, built-in Google Drive file browsing, a new View chats option for tracking file usage, and faster bulk team invites for admins.
Search projects straight from the sidebar
The sidebar project list has a search box now: start typing a project name and jump straight to it. If you have a long list of projects, the sidebar now scrolls through all of them smoothly, with projects and chats each scrolling independently.
Neater reasoning and clearer answers in Chat
When GC AI works through a multi-step request, the reasoning and tool activity now fold into a single expandable section once it finishes. Your answer is no longer pushed down by a long trail of intermediate steps. While GC AI is still working, the section stays open so you can follow its progress, and any step that needs your approval is always shown directly.
A better way to attach Google Drive files
Attaching files from Google Drive in chat and projects now uses GC AI’s built-in Drive browser instead of the Google pop-up window. You get the same familiar file browser everywhere you pick Drive files in the app, with a cleaner look and easier folder navigation.
See every chat where a file was used
Each file’s menu now includes a “View chats” option that lists all the chats the file has been added to. If you reuse the same contracts, policies, or templates across many conversations, you can now trace where a document has been used and pick up past work from the file itself.
Invite your whole team to GC AI at once
Admins can now paste a comma-separated list of email addresses to invite several teammates in one step, instead of adding them one at a time.

GC AI adds US Case Law search and analysis in chat, letting users ask plain-language legal questions and get cited, synthesized answers grounded in 13M+ court opinions. Built-in Opinion Reader links every cited case to full text, with source toggles and jurisdiction filters for easier research.
US Case Law Search and analyze 13M+ US court opinions directly in chat. Ask a case law question in plain language and get a cited, synthesized answer grounded in the actual opinions. Every cited case links to the full text through a built-in Opinion Reader, so you can verify sources without leaving your workspace.
US Case Law is on by default. GC AI searches relevant opinions whenever your question calls for it. Use the source toggles in the Add menu to turn case law or web search on and off, or open Advanced Settings to filter by jurisdiction.
US Case Law is included in all Team and Enterprise plans. For Individual seats, it is available as an add-on.
Case law from other jurisdictions, like the EU and UK, is in development and will launch next.

GC AI adds agentic chat history search to find past conversations and bring relevant context into new chats.
Agentic Chat History Search
You can now ask GC AI in chat to search your past conversations. Describe what you are looking for in plain language, and GC AI finds matching chats across your history with titles, summaries, and links. When a prior conversation is relevant, GC AI can read that chat and bring that context into the conversation you are in now, so you can find prior work and keep going without hunting in the sidebar.

GC AI introduces the Skill Library, replacing prompts with attachable skills that can be chained together for richer, cleaner instructions. It also adds Skill Creator, in-chat skill editing, and web improvements like knowledge base files, skill-aware prompt help, and a /prompts to /skills redirect.
Skills: A Better Way to Reuse Your Best Instructions
The Prompt Library is now the Skill Library, and skills work differently than prompts did. Instead of pasting instructions into the composer as plain text, you attach skills to a conversation the same way you attach files. GC AI reads the skill’s instructions as dedicated context while your actual question stays short and focused.
The biggest change: you can now chain multiple skills in a single conversation. Attach a compliance checklist skill and a plain-language drafting skill at the same time, and GC AI follows both sets of instructions together. Advanced, multi-step instructions that used to crowd the composer now live cleanly in attached skills.
All your existing saved prompts have been carried over as skills automatically.
Skill Creator
A new GC AI skill that helps you build reusable skills through conversation. Attach the “Create Skill” skill, describe what you want, and GC AI interviews you about your goal, drafts the skill, and saves it directly to your library. It knows six common patterns (checklist, role, template, workflow, style, and drafting) and coaches you through picking the right structure. You can also ask it to refine existing skills.
In-Chat Skill Editing
When GC AI suggests changes to one of your skills during a conversation, you see a side-by-side comparison of the original and proposed versions before anything is saved. Approve the changes as-is, switch into edit mode to adjust them, or deny if they miss the mark.
Improvements
Web
- Skills can now carry knowledge base files. Link files to a skill, and they travel with it every time it’s used. No re-uploading templates, policies, or example documents.
- Easy Prompt now includes attached skill context when optimizing your question, so suggestions are tailored to the skills you’re working with.
- Clicking a skill badge on a sent message opens the skill in the sidebar for quick viewing, editing, or sharing.
- The /prompts URL now permanently redirects to /skills. Existing bookmarks and shared links continue to work.

GC AI April 7, 2026 Update
GC AI adds a rich text chat composer with formatting tools, tables, autosave, and improved sending, while also refining web UI, response handling, sidebar and settings layouts, and fixing Easy Prompt and sharing issues.
New Features
Rich Text Composer
The chat input is now a rich text editor with a formatting toolbar. Click the “Aa” button to open it, then format your prompts with bold, italic, strikethrough, headings, bullet and numbered lists, checklists, blockquotes, code blocks, links, and tables. Insert tables with a visual grid picker and manage rows and columns with inline controls. Undo and redo work as expected. Pasting from Word, Google Docs, or email preserves formatting. Enter adds a new line, and ⌘Enter / Ctrl+Enter sends your message. Your in-progress message is saved automatically if you navigate away.
Improvements
Web
- AI responses with document-style headings are now collapsible. The top-level title stays visible while section headings (like “Recitals” or “Definitions”) can be expanded and collapsed individually as you work through them.
- If an AI provider drops the connection mid-response, GC AI now recovers automatically. When the interruption happens before any text appears, the response restarts silently on a different model. If text was already flowing, an inline message and Retry button let you continue with one click.
- Section icons have been removed from sidebar headers (Chat, Prompt Library, Playbooks, etc.), and the collapse/expand toggle now sits in a consistent position whether the sidebar is open or closed.
- The Settings pages have a cleaner layout: section cards and redundant tab descriptions have been removed, and subtitles are more consistent across tabs.
- Dialog overlays and dropdown menus have updated styling with improved scrim effects and smoother transitions.
- Sidebar and header labels are more consistent, with cleaner states for active, hover, and selected items.
- Focus rings throughout the app now use a double-shadow style (blue and light blue) for better visibility. The chat input and message areas have also been visually refined.
- The Files and Prompts sidebar tabs now use a pill-style design that is easier to read and tap.
- The “Add” button in the chat input has been updated from a plain plus icon to a labeled dropdown menu (replacing a recent regression).
Fixes
Web
- Fixed an issue where Easy Prompt would sometimes follow instructions inside your prompt (like “ask me clarifying questions first”) instead of optimizing the prompt. It now correctly rewrites the prompt in all cases.
- Fixed sharing bugs where added users did not appear in the “People with access” list, the share dialog reopened in the wrong view, and the public link toggle did not sync between the header button and the three-dot menu.

GC AI adds in-chat playbook management and web chat document redlining, plus a broad web chat upgrade with inline response editing, richer clarifying questions, better sharing, mobile navigation improvements, and smoother email and chat formatting.
New Features
In-Chat Playbook Management
You can now create, view, edit, delete, and duplicate playbooks directly from the chat interface. Upload your documents to the conversation, tell GC AI what you need, and it builds your playbook without leaving the chat. Every action, whether creating a new playbook, updating checks, or deleting one you no longer need, shows an approval card so you confirm each change before it takes effect. For detailed check editing, a panel opens on the right side of the screen where you can review and adjust check contents before approving. If GC AI needs to confirm which playbook you’re working with, it asks clarifying questions and presents a list to pick from. No more navigating to a separate wizard or switching between screens.
Document Editing and Redlining in Web Chat
You can now upload a document to the web chat, ask GC AI to revise it, and review each proposed change as an inline diff. Accept or reject individual edits, then choose between tracked changes (preserving redlines in the output) or clean replacement. Download the updated file and keep iterating with follow-up messages until the document reads right. This brings the core redlining workflow from GC AI for Word to any browser, no Word installation required.
Improvements
Web
- You can now edit AI responses inline. A pencil icon in the assistant message action bar opens a rich text editor for the response text. Your edits are preserved in the conversation context, and an “Edited” badge with timestamp appears in the action bar.
- Clarifying questions now accept file attachments and extra context. Type additional details in the chat input or attach files while answering, and the AI can read those files in its follow-up response.
- Queued messages now disappear from the list instantly when sent. You can also edit queued message text inline by clicking the pencil icon before the message is sent.
- A new “My chats” filter in the chat history sidebar lets you toggle between all chats and only your own conversations.
- Shared chat links now include the files that were part of the conversation, so viewers can see the same documents the original chat referenced.
- Chat sharing is consolidated into a single permissions dialog with a public link toggle, replacing the previous separate sharing flows.
- Organization admins can now upload a logo for their organization, and company profiles support logo uploads. Logos appear throughout the app wherever the org or company name is displayed.
- Chat history group headers (Today, Yesterday, Last 7 Days, etc.) are now collapsible. Click a header to collapse or expand that section.
- The plus button in the sidebar icon rail now creates a new chat on click.
- Email draft tables now support direct cell editing, row and column controls, and a table toolbar, matching the formatting of tables in chat responses.
- Copied AI text now blends with your existing text when pasted into Gmail and other email clients. Structural formatting (bold, lists, headings) is preserved, but app-specific fonts and spacing are stripped.
- Chat messages now display at a 66-character line width for more comfortable reading.
- The mobile navigation menu is now accessible on all pages in compact or narrow views, not only the chat page.
- The organization switcher is now always visible in the mobile menu.
- Shared chat links no longer show error-styled cards for tool calls from renamed or deprecated tools. They display a clean “Tool called: Tool Name” label instead.
- Clarifying questions are now fully keyboard accessible. Press Enter to advance between questions, and Enter on the last question submits the form.

GC AI adds project workspaces, chat summarization, bulk chat actions, clarifying questions, and a rich text email draft editor, while also expanding early adopter access and improving web and Word workflows with usability and reliability updates.
New Features
Projects
Organize related chats, files, and instructions into a single workspace. Chats within a project share AI context, GC AI can reference other conversations in the same project to give more informed answers. Star your most-used projects for quick access, set project-level instructions that apply to every chat, and share entire projects with teammates. You can also drag and drop chats into projects from the sidebar.
Chat Summarization
When a conversation gets long, you can now summarize it in place to free up the AI’s context window. A “Summarize chat” button appears in the context usage indicator once your conversation passes 50% capacity. After summarizing, a divider marks where the AI’s memory starts — older messages stay visible in your chat history, but the AI works from the summary going forward.
Chat Bulk Actions
Select multiple chats from the sidebar to manage them in bulk. The new Actions menu lets you add or remove labels, move chats to a project, or delete them all at once.
Clarifying Questions
When your request is ambiguous or involves multiple decisions, GC AI now pauses and asks structured clarifying questions before proceeding. Questions appear as an interactive card above the chat input with options to select from, type custom answers, pick dates, or choose from your files and playbooks. You can answer as many or as few as you’d like before submitting.
Email Draft Editor
Email drafts now open in a rich text editor instead of plain text. Bold, italicize, add links, and switch between headings and lists directly in the draft. Your edits are saved automatically, and copying preserves formatting when you paste into Gmail or Outlook. You can also open the draft directly in Gmail, Outlook, or your default mail app.
Early Adopter Program
Organization admins can now enroll their team in the Early Adopter Program from organization settings. Enrolled organizations get early access to new features before they’re available to everyone.
Improvements
Web
- Diagram labels now wrap at natural break points so text stays inside the node boxes.
- Shared links now display the actual title of the shared chat instead of “Untitled chat.”
- File uploads to chat can now be canceled while in progress.
- You can now choose whether to include timestamps when downloading chat messages.
- The context window indicator now uses color-coded rings — green, orange, and red — to show usage at a glance.
- Wide tables in AI responses now scroll horizontally with visible edge gradients instead of being clipped.
- The Enter key now behaves consistently on mobile devices.
- Pending invitations now show their expiry date, and expired invitations can be resent.
Word
- Redline and revision labels now display consistently across expanded and collapsed views.
- You can now apply all suggested changes from a chat response to your document in one step, with a significantly more reliable engine behind it.
- Comments can now be applied to a document before the associated redline is accepted.
Fixes
Word

GC AI adds Google Drive import, AI-generated diagrams, chat labels, draft email creation, and one-click document export from chat. It also expands Claude Opus 4.6 context and brings workflow and admin improvements across the web app and Word, plus speed and reliability fixes.
New Features
Google Drive Integration
You can now connect your Google Drive account and import files directly into GC AI. Browse your Drive folders, select documents, and they’ll be automatically processed and available for AI analysis — no need to download and re-upload.
Diagrams
The AI can now generate visual diagrams directly in chat. Ask for flowcharts, org charts, process diagrams, timelines, and more. Diagrams include zoom and pan controls for exploring complex visualizations.
Chat Labels
Organize your chat history with custom labels. Create, assign, and filter chats by labels to keep your conversations organized. Labels are available in both the web app and Word, and are inherited when branching conversations.
Draft Email
Ask the AI to draft an email directly in chat. The AI composes a professional email based on your conversation context, ready to copy and send.
Generate Document from Chat
Export AI-generated content from any chat conversation into a formatted Word document with a single click.
Batch Approve/Deny
When the AI asks for approval on multiple actions in a single message, you can now approve or deny them all at once instead of handling each one individually.
