Funding Round attributes
General Counsel AI, a San Francisco–based startup offering a web‑based AI “copilot” tailored to assist in‑house legal teams, announced the successful close of a $1.6 million seed funding round.
Founded to streamline repetitive legal tasks, the company has built its platform to support general counsel and corporate legal departments by automating drafting, reviewing, and research functions. The announcement states that GC AI operates as a secure, privacy‑first environment: each customer receives a private database instance, ensuring no access by third parties—including upstream AI providers—while enabling seamless collaboration among internal team members.
Platform Highlights & Metrics
The company builds its product on GPT‑4, supplemented by proprietary models, to serve as an “extension” of in‑house legal teams. GC AI’s offerings include automated drafting workflows, rapid stimulus response and clause extraction that preserves original wording with exact punctuation. Security remains a priority—every user workspace is provisioned with a private database to maintain internal confidentiality.
Although the release doesn’t specify user counts or annual recurring revenue, it notes that the platform is being prepared for launch and beta testing “soon,” indicating a stage between initial deployment and scaling operations .
The statement includes a description of the platform’s utility: it “transforms the traditional approach to legal work by delivering high‑quality first drafts, tailored legal advice, and meticulous document reviews, allowing in‑house counsel to focus on delivering strategic value rather than getting bogged down in routine tasks.
