Create documents — Spin up new Google Docs from scratch with a title

Append content — Add text to the end of any document

Insert text — Place content at a specific index within the document

Replace text — Find and replace strings across the entire document

Delete content — Remove specific text ranges

Apply paragraph styles — Set headings (H1–H6), body text, and named styles

Apply text formatting — Bold, italic, underline, font size, and color on text ranges

Insert tables — Add structured tables with specified rows and columns

Get document metadata — Title, document ID, revision ID

Try Asking

"Read the executive summary section of my Q1 report doc"

Pro Tips

Documents are identified by their Drive file ID — the agent can look this up from a name

Batch all edits into a single `batchUpdate` request for efficiency — the agent handles this automatically

Content index positions are character-based; the agent tracks them relative to named sections

Combining Docs + Drive: search Drive for a document, then edit its content in one workflow

Exports are supported in PDF, plain text, HTML, DOCX formats

Formatting changes don't affect content — safe to apply after writing
