How to Create a Company Profile
Learn how to build an effective company profile in GC AI to get tailored advice and document generation.
Your company profile in GC AI acts like a “memory” for the AI, providing essential context about your business. A well-crafted profile helps GC AI understand your specific needs, industry, risk tolerance, and preferences, leading to more accurate and relevant outputs, whether you’re drafting contracts, seeking legal advice, or analyzing documents. You can create as many profiles as you need and share them with members of your organization.
Why is a Good Company Profile Important?
- Tailored Advice: GC AI uses your profile details to customize its responses. For example, if your profile states you operate in California and handle sensitive user data, GC AI will consider CCPA regulations when advising on privacy policies.
- Consistent Document Generation: When drafting contracts or policies, GC AI incorporates details from your profile, ensuring consistency across documents. It might pull your company’s legal name, address, or specific clauses you prefer.
- Improved Risk Spotting: By understanding your business model and industry, GC AI can more effectively identify potential risks relevant to your specific situation.
Starting Your Company Profile
You have two main ways to begin creating your profile:
- Manual Entry: Fill in the details step-by-step.
- Auto-Generate: Enter your company’s website address, and GC AI will attempt to automatically populate the profile using publicly available information.
Using the Auto-Generate Feature
If you want to speed up the process:
- Locate the Enter Company Website field.
- Type or paste your company’s primary website URL (e.g.,
yourcompany.com
). - Select the Auto-Generate Profile ✨ button.
- GC AI will analyze the website and attempt to fill in the Name, Description, Address, and potentially other fields based on the public content found.
- Review and edit the auto-filled information carefully for accuracy and completeness before proceeding.
Manual Profile Creation Steps
If you prefer to enter details manually or need to refine the auto-generated information:
- Navigate to the Company Profile section within the GC AI platform. You can typically create a new profile via a + Create Profile button or similar option.
- Enter Basic Details:
- Name: Provide the official legal name of your company as it would appear on contracts.
- Description: Describe your company in 3-4 sentences. Include:
- What products/services you offer.
- Who your primary customers or target market are.
- Your company’s core mission or purpose.
- Use official boilerplate text from your website or press releases if available.
- Add the stock ticker symbol if your company is publicly traded.
- Address: Enter the official legal address of the company.
- Select Continue. You may be prompted to add more details in subsequent steps, such as:
- Industry: Select the industry that best describes your business. This helps GC AI understand relevant regulations and common practices.
- Jurisdiction: Specify the primary state or country where your company operates and is legally registered. Add other relevant jurisdictions if you operate in multiple locations.
- Company Size: Indicate the approximate number of employees.
- Describe Your Business Activities (If not covered in initial description):
- Provide more specific details about your operations, data handling practices, etc.
- Example: “We are a SaaS company providing project management software to small marketing agencies primarily in the United States. We handle customer payment information but do not store sensitive personal data beyond basic contact details.”
- Outline Risk Tolerance and Preferences:
- Specify your general approach to legal risk (e.g., risk-averse, moderate, risk-tolerant).
- Mention any standard clauses, preferred legal language, or specific compliance requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA if applicable) that GC AI should be aware of.
- Example: “We have a low tolerance for litigation risk. Ensure all customer contracts include a mandatory arbitration clause based in New York. We must be GDPR compliant.”
- Add Key Stakeholders (Optional but Recommended):
- List key contacts or departments involved in legal matters (e.g., Head of Legal, Compliance Officer).
- Review and Finalize:
- Read through the entire profile to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- Select Save or Finish to store your company profile.
Maintaining Your Profile
Keep your company profile up-to-date. Revisit it periodically, especially after significant changes like entering new markets, launching major products, or undergoing organizational shifts. An accurate profile ensures GC AI remains a powerful and relevant tool for your legal needs.
Your company data is encrypted, secure, and private.
