## About GC AI

GC AI[GC AI] is the leading AI platform for in-house legal teams. Co-founded by Cecilia Ziniti[Cecilia Ziniti], a three-time general counsel, the platform serves more than 2,200 corporate legal departments including teams from Vercel, Arc’teryx, Wayfair, and TIME. GC AI research combines real-time access to authoritative legal sources with AI-powered analysis, helping legal professionals find answers, assess risks, and verify conclusions with confidence. Every insight is supported by transparent, traceable citations back to the original source material.

## The importance of live web search to in-house teams

GC AI serves companies, so the research has to get both the legal side and the business side right. In-house teams need information beyond primary sources, including recent regulatory updates and agency guidance that can be hard to find. Supported by Parallel’s Search API, GC AI’s web search can find those hard-to-find sources and return them in one answer a lawyer can verify.

For lawyers, reliable sources are important for making trusted decisions. GC AI designs and runs its own evals on research quality, depth, breadth and accuracy. On top of web search results, GC AI’s own proprietary research layer, built by lawyers, thinks like a lawyer and puts authoritative resources first, like official government sites. On the In-House Legal Bench[In-House Legal Bench], GC AI scored 86.8% across 100 in-house legal tasks, ahead of ChatGPT-5.5 at 79.8%, with the largest advantages appearing in research-intensive tasks.

Parallel’s Search API ranks pages by relevance and returns current pages and excerpts. The Extract API pulls full additional context from the page’s text. To keep pace with new developments, GC AI users create Automations (GC AI’s scheduled agents) to monitor the practice areas they care about and flag new developments, without having to search manually.

“Research has always taken a lot of time. Traditional legal research tools can be thorough, but you can’t give them a goal and have them come back with an answer. GC AI applies a lawyer’s research methodology, with Parallel’s Search API finding the sources, so you can get to an answer and advise the business.”
