Create documents from email
Email Carly with meeting notes, a project brief, or a proposal outline and she'll create a Google Doc with the content formatted and ready to share.
Find and share docs without digging
Ask Carly for a specific Google Doc — the Q1 report, the onboarding checklist, the client proposal — and she'll find it and send you the link.
Share documents with the right people
Tell Carly to share a Google Doc with specific people or set permissions. She'll update the sharing settings and notify the recipients.
Pull content from existing docs
Ask Carly to grab a section from a Google Doc — the executive summary, the budget table, the timeline — and send it to you or paste it into another tool.
Why people search for an AI assistant for Google Docs
Google Docs has built-in AI features like Help Me Write, but they only work when you're inside the document editor. That doesn't help when you need to create a doc from your phone while walking to a meeting, or when you want to pull a section from a document without opening your laptop. The search for a better AI for Google Docs usually comes down to one thing: people want to interact with their documents without being inside Google Docs.
Carly solves this by working as a layer on top of Google Docs that you access through email or text. You send a message describing what you need — create a doc, find a file, share it with someone, pull a paragraph — and Carly handles it in Google Docs on your behalf. There's no plugin to install, no sidebar to open, and no new interface to learn. Your inbox is the interface.
How Carly automates Google Docs through email and text
Carly connects to your Google account and works with Google Docs through the API. When you send Carly a message like "create a Google Doc called Q2 Planning with these bullet points," she creates the document, formats the content, and sends you back the link. When you say "find the onboarding checklist and share it with jake@company.com," she searches your Drive, locates the file, updates the sharing permissions, and confirms it's done.
This matters because most document tasks are small but interruptive. You don't need to spend five minutes opening Google Docs, creating a blank document, typing a title, and formatting content when you could send one email and have it done. Carly also works across tools — you can ask her to pull a section from a Google Doc and post it in Slack, or create a doc from notes she pulled out of your calendar.
The compound effect is significant for people who create and share documents regularly. Executives, project managers, and operations leads who produce meeting notes, briefs, and reports throughout the week save real time by delegating the mechanical parts of document creation to Carly.
Carly vs. Google Docs AI features and third-party plugins
Google's built-in Gemini features help with writing and editing inside the document editor. Browser extensions like Doc AI tools add sidebars for summarization and rewriting. These are useful when you're already working in Google Docs, but they don't help when you're away from your computer or working in another tool.
Carly is different because she works from outside Google Docs entirely. You interact with her through email or text message, and she performs actions in Google Docs on your behalf. This means you can create a document from your phone during a commute, share a file while you're in another meeting, or pull content from a doc while you're working in a spreadsheet — without ever opening the Docs editor. For people who treat documents as outputs rather than workspaces, Carly is a faster path from intent to done.
