Formulas, tables and charts

Written straight into the sheet, with the narrative alongside.

Slides and speaker notes

Native, editable slides built from the layouts in your deck.

Asks before it removes

Destructive edits need your approval. Everything stays in version history.

Docs, Sheets and Slides

The same sidebar in every editor

Install once and it follows you into every file. It only ever sees the one you have open.

Why it works

Built different where it matters

Not a chat window bolted onto the editor. An agent working in it.

Editable output

Everything it creates is native Docs, Sheets and Slides content you can restyle, retitle and update.

Only the open file

It cannot open, list or access any other file in your Google Drive. It works on what is in front of you.

Approval for risky edits

Actions that remove content ask first. Every change stays in the version history, so you can always undo.

Agentic research

When a task needs facts, it searches the web, cites sources and works in steps rather than guessing.

Setup

Install in under a minute

One install from the Google Workspace Marketplace covers Docs, Sheets and Slides.

Install from the Marketplace

Open the AbacusAI Assistant listing on the Google Workspace Marketplace and click Install. Google asks for the permissions once.

Admin deployment steps

Your data stays yours

Content from the open file is sent to Abacus.AI only when you submit a request, used solely to produce that response, and never used to train AI models.

How the add-on handles your data

Questions, answered

What is AbacusAI Assistant for Google Workspace?

An add-on that puts the Abacus.AI agent in a sidebar inside Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides. Describe what you need in plain language, and the assistant reads the file you have open and makes the edits for you: summaries, rewrites, formulas, tables, charts, new slides, speaker notes, and more.

How do I install it?

Install it once from the Google Workspace Marketplace. It then appears in all three editors under Extensions > AbacusAI > Open. Google asks for permission the first time you open it in each editor.

Do I need a separate account for the add-on?

No. The add-on uses your regular Abacus.AI account, the same one that works with ChatLLM. Sign in from the sidebar with a one-time code; if you don't have an account yet, you can create one in the same step.

Which permissions does it ask for, and why?

The add-on asks to view and manage the document, spreadsheet, or presentation it is installed in, so it can read the open file and apply the edits you request; to display its sidebar inside the editor; and to see your Google Account email address, which only pre-fills the sign-in form.

It cannot open, list, or access any other file in your Google Drive.

Are the edits applied directly to my file?

Yes. The assistant edits the open file in place, the same way a collaborator would, so everything it creates stays editable. Actions that remove content ask for your approval before they run, and every change is in the file's version history, so you can undo it.
