What is Docsium?
Docsium is an AI‑powered add‑on that brings ChatGPT‑style capabilities directly into Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides. It is designed to help users automate writing, data cleanup, and content generation without leaving the Google Workspace environment they already use every day. In Google Sheets, Docsium lets you write a prompt in a cell (or range), select it, and ask Docsium to generate, categorize, clean, complete, or find new data such as addresses or public information. In Google Docs, you can write or select text, then use Docsium to generate blog posts, bullet points, meeting notes from bullet outlines, or to summarize and rewrite existing content. In Google Slides, you can type a prompt directly on the slide and Docsium will generate unique text copy, including auto‑generated slide titles, bullet points, and formatted content so you can build presentations faster.
Key features include seamless integration with Google Workspace, so you do not need to switch to a separate web app or copy‑paste across tools. Docsium surfaces its commands from the Google Workspace add‑on menu, so the interface stays familiar while the AI executes behind the scenes. It supports a wide range of natural‑language prompts, from simple rewrites to complex data‑enrichment tasks, which makes it useful for both casual and advanced users. The tool is especially valuable for teams that rely heavily on Google Sheets for spreadsheets and databases, on Docs for drafting reports and notes, and on Slides for creating decks and presentations. Because Docsium runs natively inside each app, it is well‑suited for knowledge workers, analysts, marketers, educators, and project managers who want to accelerate content creation, data cleaning, and meeting‑note generation without learning a new platform.
Docsium is built for anyone already using Google Workspace who wants to apply AI to their existing workflows. It is ideal for individuals or small teams that need to automate repetitive writing and formatting tasks across Sheets, Docs, and Slides, such as formatting raw data into clean tables, summarizing long documents, or turning raw ideas into slide decks. The tool is also useful for non‑technical users who benefit from simple point‑and‑click prompts rather than configuring complex AI APIs. Because it charges per usage credit rather than locking you into per‑feature tiers, Docsium is flexible enough for occasional users who only need a few AI boosts per month as well as for heavy users who regularly generate content across multiple documents and spreadsheets.
Docsium pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Docsium uses a credit‑based billing model where each interaction with the add‑on consumes one credit. All pricing plans give access to the same features, differing only in how many credits you receive per month. The free tier starts with some preloaded credits and does not require a credit card, letting you try Docsium across Sheets, Docs, and Slides. Paid plans include a Starter plan at 10.00 USD per month that provides 10,000 credits, with each credit costing 0.0010 USD after that if you exceed your bundle. A Premium plan is available at 15.00 USD per month, offering more monthly credits and the same per‑credit price beyond the bundle. Each time you use Docsium on 300 cells or prompts, for example, you consume 300 credits, so the total cost scales directly with your usage across Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides.

Frequently asked questions about Docsium
What is Docsium and what does it do?
Docsium is an AI‑based add‑on that brings ChatGPT‑style capabilities into Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides. It lets you write prompts directly in cells, documents, or slides and then generate, summarize, rewrite, or enrich content and data without leaving the Google Workspace interface. The tool aims to automate writing, formatting, and data‑cleaning tasks to help you work faster inside the apps you already use every day.
Which Google Workspace apps does Docsium work with?
Docsium works with Google Sheets, Google Docs, and Google Slides, all through the Google Workspace add‑on menu. In each app you can select a cell, range of cells, paragraph, or slide text and then click the Docsium option to send your prompt to the AI and get an in‑place response. It is designed specifically for these three core Google Workspace tools and does not extend to Gmail, Drive, or other services by default.
How do I install Docsium?
You install Docsium from the Google Workspace Marketplace as a standard add‑on for Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides. Once installed, you can open any compatible file, click the Extensions menu, select Docsium, and then choose the desired action such as solve with Docsium or generate text. The installation is done once per account or domain, and the add‑on then appears in all supported apps you open.
How does Docsium handle my data and privacy?
Docsium processes only the content you explicitly select or write as prompts in Sheets, Docs, or Slides, and it operates within the Google Workspace security model. The tool does not store or permanently retain your documents or spreadsheets on its own servers; instead, it sends selected prompts to its AI backend and returns the generated text back into your file. Because you remain in control of what you select and how much you share, Docsium is designed to minimize unnecessary exposure of sensitive data while still enabling AI‑assisted editing.
What kinds of tasks can Docsium perform in Google Sheets?
In Google Sheets, Docsium can extract structured data from text prompts, categorize items in rows or columns, clean up messy or inconsistent entries, and complete sparse fields such as addresses or public information. It can also generate new data points based on prompts, which is useful for expanding lists, filling gaps, or enriching datasets without manual research. Each operation is invoked by writing a prompt in or next to the relevant cells and selecting that range before running Docsium.
What can Docsium do in Google Docs?
In Google Docs, Docsium can generate blog‑style paragraphs from prompts, turn bullet‑point ideas into full sections, create meeting notes from raw outlines, and summarize long passages into concise summaries. You can also use it to rewrite or rephrase selected text, simplify language, or adjust tone while keeping the original context. The add‑on runs from the Extensions menu so edits are applied directly into your document without switching tabs or apps.
What can Docsium do in Google Slides?
In Google Slides, Docsium can generate unique text copy directly on the slide based on your prompt, including auto‑generating slide titles and bullet points. It can summarize existing slide content to create tighter versions or alternative layouts and help you format text to keep slide layouts consistent. Because Docsium operates from the add‑on menu, the generated text appears right on the slide, letting you quickly refine or move on to the next slide.
How are credits used in Docsium?
Docsium charges one credit each time you execute an AI action, such as generating content on a selected range of cells, a paragraph in Docs, or a slide in Slides. For example, if you use Docsium to generate results for 300 cells, you will consume 300 credits. Your remaining credits are tracked across all three apps, and once you run out on the free tier you can upgrade to a paid plan to receive more monthly credits at a per‑credit rate.
Is there a free plan and what does it include?
Yes, Docsium offers a free plan that starts with a set number of usage credits and requires no credit card. The free tier includes full access to all Docsium features in Google Sheets, Docs, and Slides, so you can experiment with generating, summarizing, rewriting, and cleaning data or text. The only limitation is the total number of credits; once you use them up, you must upgrade to a paid plan to continue using the tool at higher volumes.
How do the Starter and Premium plans differ?
The Starter plan costs 10.00 USD per month and provides 10,000 credits per month, plus the same per‑credit rate of 0.0010 USD if you exceed that bundle. The Premium plan costs 15.00 USD per month and offers more monthly credits than Starter, again applying the same per‑credit rate for any usage beyond the included bundle. Importantly, both plans give access to all the same features in Sheets, Docs, and Slides; the difference is only in the monthly credit allowance and total budget you are comfortable with.
