Google Docs + Maintouch
Let Agent M find, read and write your Google Docs.
Overview
Brand guidelines, briefs and meeting notes usually sit in Google Docs. Agent M can read them before it writes, so its drafts follow what your team already agreed on.
Connect Google Docs and Agent M can search your docs by name, read them, create new docs and add to the end of existing ones. It can also replace a phrase across a doc, but only after it tells you how many matches would change and you confirm.
How it works
- 01
Connect with Google
Sign in with the Google account you want Agent M to use. Docs connects on its own, separate from Drive and Sheets.
- 02
Decide who can use it
Keep the connection personal, or share it so your organization and its custom agents can use it too.
- 03
Point Agent M at a doc
Paste a doc link, or name the doc. Agent M searches for it and confirms which one you mean before it reads.
What you get
Reads before it writes
Agent M reads your guidelines, briefs and notes as text and works from what is actually there.
New docs on request
Ask for a brief or research summary in a doc. Agent M creates it, in a folder you name if you like, and shares the link.
Running logs
Appends go to the end of a doc and never touch existing text. Repeating the same append adds nothing.
Scheduled reports
A custom agent can create a doc once, then append a dated update to it on every run.
Permissions
Docs (read) Search your docs by name and read their text.Docs (write) Create docs, append text, and replace text after you confirm.Questions
Can Agent M format a doc?
No. Text is written as plain paragraphs. You add headings, links and images in Google Docs.
Can scheduled agents change existing text?
No. Scheduled agents can create docs and append to them. Replacing text only happens in chat, after you confirm.
What if Agent M can’t open a doc?
Share the doc with the Google account you connected. Edits need Editor access.
