# Frix vs GC AI

> GC AI is an AI assistant built for in-house legal teams: contract review, policy questions, redlines and the everyday work of a corporate legal department. Frix is built for law firms: an AI that researches the public Law Library and reads matter files with citations, plus intake, matters and a document vault. They overlap on drafting and document review and diverge on almost everything else.

## Choose Frix if

- You are a law firm with matters, clients and calls, not a legal department.
- You need case-law research with a citator, free, next to the AI.
- You want an AI phone assistant taking intake calls.

## Choose GC AI if

- You are in-house and your work is contracts, policies and internal requests.
- You want an assistant tuned to a company's own templates and playbooks.
- Litigation research is not part of your day.

## Two different jobs

A general counsel's assistant and a litigator's assistant are asked different questions. GC AI is built around the first: read this vendor agreement, compare it to our playbook, draft the response to sales. Frix is built around the second: is this case still good law in Texas, what does the deposition say about the intersection, draft the limitations argument. If your week looks like the first list, GC AI is the closer fit and we would say so.

## Where they overlap

Both draft, both summarise documents, both answer questions from what you upload. The difference in Frix is that the research behind an answer is a real index of public law with a citator, so when Donna says a case supports a proposition you can open the opinion and see whether later courts agree. For a firm that has to file the brief, that check is the whole point.
