Quick Actions make it easier to get results from Gavel Exec by guiding you through a short set of inputs rather than requiring you to write a full prompt from scratch. Each Quick Action is designed to produce a specific type of output — redlines, comments, a draft, a summary, or a list of missing terms — based on the parameters you provide. To access Quick Actions, open the Gavel Exec panel in Microsoft Word and select the action you want from the Quick Actions menu.

​
Available Quick Actions

The Redline Document Quick Action generates precise redlines throughout the contract or document based on the negotiation context you provide.
  • Negotiation Style — Set how aggressive you want the redlining to be, from light-touch revisions to strong advocacy positions.
  • Representation — Specify which party you represent so the AI redlines from the correct side of the negotiation.
  • Jurisdiction: — Select Country, State/Province to hone into the jurisdictional specifications and language style for that area.
  • Additional Files — Upload reference documents such as previous contracts or deal context materials to inform the AI’s redlining style and substance.

The Use a Playbook Quick Action takes you directly to the Playbooks tab, where you can select a playbook to run against your document.Playbooks apply a structured set of rules to review and redline the contract. You can use Gavel’s built-in playbooks or create and save your own. See the Playbooks guide for full details on building and managing playbooks.
The Summarize Redlines Quick Action reviews the redlines in your document and generates a comprehensive outline of what those redlines change in the contract.This is useful when you have received a redlined document from a counterparty and need a quick read on the overall impact of their proposed changes before negotiating. Open the redlined document in Word and run this Quick Action to get a structured summary in the chat panel.
After running Summarize Redlines, you can follow up in Chat Mode to ask whether to accept, reject, or counter each redline — and then have Gavel Exec insert those evaluations as comments or generate new proposed redlines.
The Find Missing Terms Quick Action searches the document for terms or provisions that are absent based on the baseline you set.
  • Identification Baseline — Choose the standard the AI should compare the document against:
    • General market norms — Common provisions expected in a standard commercial agreement.
    • Industry-specific norms — Provisions typical in a specific industry.
      • Input your industry area — Specify the industry for more targeted results.
    • Sample documents I provide — Upload reference contracts to use as the baseline for comparison.
  • Jurisdiction: — Select Country, State/Province to hone into the jurisdictional specifications and language style for that area.

    • List of bullet points — A plain list of missing terms.
    • Redlines with suggested alternative language — Proposed additions inserted as tracked changes.
    • Comments explaining deviations — Inline comments describing each gap.
