Document CoPilot is an AI tool designed to facilitate collaboration on Google Documents. Its primary function is to provide in-line comments and replies to facilitate document revision and editing. It integrates seamlessly with Google Documents’ native commenting system, requiring no additional applications or extensions. Users can share their Google Docs with Document CoPilot to initiate an editing session, where the AI tool joins the document and starts providing comments and replies. Users can also ask specific questions or request elaborations on suggestions.
Document CoPilot also features an auto-exit function. If a user takes a break for more than 30 minutes, the tool automatically leaves the document, ensuring privacy. The tool can be easily re-invited for further collaboration when needed. Document CoPilot supports a wide range of document topics, but currently only supports Google Documents. It does not support other Google Suite tools like Spreadsheets, Slides, or .docx files. As for privacy concerns, Document CoPilot does not log or store user content, and it unshares itself from the document at the end of each session.
The data passed between the user and the AI tool is subject to the privacy policies of the language models it relies on, specifically Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s GPT. While Document CoPilot is free to start with, continued use beyond a set amount of comments incurs a fee, with users charged for every few additional hundred comments.
