Very helpful!
great variety and class participation. nice examples that are relevant for day-to-day use.
I really appreciated how knowledgeable Phil was and how clearly he explained the ways AI in Word can be a valuable and practical tool when drafting agreements. His insights provided a great understanding of how AI can help streamline the drafting process while still supporting thoughtful and effective agreement preparation. I especially appreciate Phil’s effort in presenting despite being a little under the weather. Great job to both Phil and Sofia for an informative and engaging session!
These classes are easy to understand and have a "workshop" component. Haven't had a bad class through GC AI. Phil was great! Easy to listen to.
Essential basics to get the most of reviewing and redlining in Word w/ GC AI
The prompts option and the fact that it is an add-in to the Word helps you and makes your work faster and easier, and we don't have to switch windows and keep giving it context every time. It can just pick up all the information automatically
Crisp, concise, responsive. Excellent.
I've been a GC AI user since July 2024 and am still amazed at the new features released each month. The presentation on how to use the search function and also pull other documents in for additional information was incredibly helpful.
Great practical class
