GC AI Release Notes

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.

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.

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

• Fixed an issue where applying all changes at once reported failures even though the edits were successfully written to the document.
