About connecting Google Docs

What can an AI agent do in Google Docs?

32 distinct actions, listed in full on this page — 4 to read, 24 to create & update, 4 to manage. An agent gets the ones that match what you described it doing, not all of them at once.

How do I connect Google Docs?

Once, in Settings → Integrations. Sign in with your account (OAuth). The connection is yours, shared by every agent you build — you are not re-authorising per agent, and the agent never sees your credentials.

Can an agent react to something happening in Google Docs?

Yes — Google Docs exposes 10 triggers, so an agent can start work when something changes rather than waiting to be asked.
