Move your team from GC AI to Spellbook.
Each person gets a short interview, then a personalized step-by-step guide showing exactly where their saved work, prompts, and projects land in Spellbook — and the few things that need a manual step, walked through. You send one invite; nobody becomes the help desk, and nothing in GC AI is changed or cancelled. Want to see where you’re paying for both first? Run the free audit.
GC AI handles drafting through its Skill Library — pre-built skills for NDAs, DPAs, board consents, and regulatory summaries that users attach to a document and invoke. Spellbook handles drafting through its Draft feature inside the Word Add-In, drawing on saved precedents and playbook standards. Migrating from GC AI to Spellbook: identify which GC AI skills you use most frequently (NDA, DPA, etc.), then build equivalent precedent templates in Spellbook's precedent library; invoke Draft in the Word Add-In with a natural-language prompt that mirrors the skill's intent. Migrating from Spellbook to GC AI: map each precedent you rely on to the nearest GC AI built-in skill (e.g., NDA skill for NDA drafting), install the GC AI for Word add-in, and attach the skill before prompting. Custom skills unique to your organization will need to be recreated as custom GC AI skills rather than imported.
- Warning: GC AI supports chaining and scheduling skills as automated workflows (Automations); Spellbook's Draft feature is invoked per-document without a published equivalent to multi-step automation chains — teams relying on GC AI Automations may lose that capability.
- Warning: GC AI Individual plan includes personal unlimited skills but shared skill libraries are Team/Enterprise only; Spellbook's precedent library sharing model is not publicly detailed.
- Warning: GC AI skills 'improve through repeated use' (adaptive model); Spellbook draws on static saved precedents — output quality and consistency may diverge over time.
Both tools deliver AI-powered contract review with inline redline suggestions inside Microsoft Word — making the workflow transition straightforward. GC AI users: install the Spellbook Word Add-In, configure a playbook matching your existing GC AI playbook positions, then open contracts in Word as before; Spellbook's review panel surfaces clause-level risk flags and inline suggestions in the same DOCX. Spellbook users switching to GC AI: install the GC AI for Word add-in (available on all plans starting at $500/month Individual), recreate clause standards as GC AI Playbooks, and attach the relevant skill before reviewing. In both directions, export any existing redlined DOCX archives before switching — neither tool imports the other's revision history.
- Warning: GC AI Individual plan starts at $500/month; Spellbook publishes no per-seat price publicly, so budget comparison requires a sales conversation with each vendor.
- Warning: GC AI's review produces tracked-changes redlines with risk flags and integrates OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Reducto, and Google models; Spellbook uses OpenAI and Anthropic only. Clause-level output style may differ and require playbook re-calibration after migration.
- Warning: Neither product imports the other's playbook format — clause standards must be manually re-entered on the destination platform.
GC AI provides broad legal research via its web chat interface — users ask legal questions and receive real-time answers from authoritative sources with character-level citations. Spellbook's Contract Q&A (Ask feature) is scoped to a specific open contract in Word and returns answers citing exact clauses and page numbers. These are adjacent but not identical workflows: GC AI research is jurisdictional/statutory while Spellbook Q&A is document-specific. Migrating from GC AI to Spellbook for document Q&A: open the contract in Word with the Spellbook Add-In, use the Ask feature and type the same question you would have asked GC AI — answers are grounded in the document rather than external sources. Migrating from Spellbook to GC AI for broader research: paste the clause text into the GC AI web chat and ask your question; GC AI will draw on external legal sources and may provide broader statutory context that Spellbook does not offer.
- Warning: GC AI legal research draws on external authoritative legal sources in real time; Spellbook's Ask feature is bounded by the single open document — it will not surface external case law or statutes.
- Warning: GC AI's Easy Prompt feature converts plain-language queries into detailed legal queries automatically; no equivalent prompt-expansion feature is documented for Spellbook.
- Warning: Research history in GC AI web chat is stored in the Files/chats system; Spellbook Q&A answers exist only in the Word session and are not stored as a searchable research archive.
Both platforms rely on admin-configured playbooks to drive AI review against the organization's standard clause positions. To migrate from GC AI to Spellbook: export or document your GC AI playbook positions (acceptable NDA terms, data-processing clauses, etc.) from the GC AI web platform, then re-enter each position in Spellbook's playbook configuration inside the Word Add-In admin settings, organized by matter type. To migrate from Spellbook to GC AI: document each Spellbook playbook entry per matter type, then recreate them as GC AI Playbooks in the GC AI web interface; individual playbooks work on the Individual plan while shared team playbooks require Team or Enterprise. After recreating playbooks, run a test review on a known contract to verify the new platform flags the same clauses before fully switching.
- Warning: GC AI separates personal playbooks (Individual plan) from shared team playbooks (Team/Enterprise); Spellbook playbooks are administered per matter type without a published per-user isolation model — confirm seat and sharing model with Spellbook before assuming parity.
- Warning: GC AI playbooks are coupled to 'skills' (skill-library-and-automations); migrating playbooks without also migrating the linked skills may silently drop automation logic.
- Warning: No playbook export format is documented for either product — all content must be manually transcribed.
Both platforms hold SOC 2 Type II certification and have negotiated Zero Data Retention agreements with their LLM providers, making them broadly equivalent on the security posture expected by legal departments. Migrating from GC AI to Spellbook: obtain Spellbook's SOC 2 report from trust.spellbook.com, confirm HIPAA BAA availability if needed (Spellbook publishes this; GC AI does not mention BAA), review Spellbook's GDPR/PIPEDA/EU AI Act documentation, then delete organizational data from GC AI via written request to security@getgc.ai. Migrating from Spellbook to GC AI: obtain GC AI's SOC 3 report from the GC AI Trust Center, confirm data deletion from Spellbook before cancelling, and configure SSO (Team/Enterprise plan required on GC AI). In both directions, ensure your LLM-provider data-processing addenda are updated to reflect the new vendor's provider list.
- Warning: Spellbook adds HIPAA (BAA available) and EU AI Act compliance; GC AI documents SOC 2 Type I/II and SOC 3 but does not publish HIPAA BAA or EU AI Act compliance — organizations with HIPAA obligations should verify GC AI's position before switching.
- Warning: GC AI uses five LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Reducto, Google); Spellbook uses two (OpenAI, Anthropic). Your data-processing DPA must cover the destination vendor's provider list, not just the platform itself.
- Warning: GC AI data deletion requires a written request to security@getgc.ai; Spellbook's deletion process is not described at the same level of detail publicly — confirm the off-boarding procedure with Spellbook before switching.
