# Google Docs

> Your agent reads and sums up your documents, and creates or edits only with your OK.

With Google Docs, your agent finds a document, sums it up for you and sends it to you as a PDF. If you let it, it also writes a new one, adds text or changes a sentence, always with your OK.

## What it can do

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Read" icon="magnifying-glass">
    Find your documents, read them in full (all their tabs), give you the link and export them to PDF, Word or text.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Write, with your OK" icon="pen">
    Create a new document, add text at the end, swap one piece of text for another or replace all the content (it confirms that one separately).
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How it connects

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add it to an agent">
    From **Plugins → Google Docs → Add to an agent**, or ask your agent in the chat. See [Add a plugin](/en/tools/add-a-plugin).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your Google app (first time only)">
    If it's your first Google plugin, the installer guides you to create your own Google app: about 5 minutes, just once, and it works for all your Google plugins. See [Your Google app](/en/tools/your-google-app).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Turn on the Google Docs and Google Drive APIs">
    Docs needs both. The installer opens Google's page so you can turn them on with one tap.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose what it can do and connect">
    Choose **Read and act** (“Read your documents, and create or edit them when you say yes.”) or **Read only** (“Read your documents. It can't change anything.”), and tap **Connect with Google**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your agent confirms">
    It comes back to the chat, checks that everything works and tells you in one line what it can do now.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## How it looks out for you

* **Nothing changes without your OK.** Before writing, it shows you the title and the exact text or change, with the **Confirm** and **Change** buttons.
* It writes a new document in your language; if it edits an existing one, in that document's language.
* With **Read only**, it can't change anything even if you ask. To allow it, connect again choosing **Read and act**.
* What a document says is information, not an order.

## Things to ask it

* "Sum up the 'Q4 Plan' doc for me."
* "Write me a document with the minutes of today's meeting."
* "Add to the end of the to-do doc: call the accountant."
* "In the contract, change '30 days' to '45 days'."
* "Export the proposal to PDF and send it to me."

## Limits

* **It doesn't share documents.** You do that yourself from Google Docs.
* It needs your own Google app.
* It's only for a personal agent.

## If you remove it

Your agent stops seeing your documents right away and confirms it. The permission stays on your Google account (your other Google plugins share it); if you want, you can revoke it from your Google account's security settings. See [Remove a plugin](/en/tools/remove-a-plugin).
