Things your AI can do in Google Docs
Your FormWise AI can handle any of these in Google Docs — on its own, without you needing to click a button.
Copy Google Document
PopularTool to create a copy of an existing Google Document. Use this to duplicate a document, for example, when using an existing document as a template. The copied document will have a default title (e.g., 'Copy of [original title]') if no new title is provided, and will be placed in the user's root Google Drive folder.
Create and Populate Table in Google Doc
PopularCreates a new table in a Google Document and populates its cells with provided text data in a single operation. Use this action when you need to insert a structured table with predefined content into a document. The action handles both table creation and cell population automatically, eliminating the need for separate operations.
Create Document Markdown
PopularCreates a new Google Docs document, optionally initializing it with a title and content provided as Markdown text.
Create Footer
PopularTool to create a new footer in a Google Document. Use when you need to add a footer, optionally specifying its type and the section it applies to.

Create Header
PopularTool to create a new header in a Google Document, optionally with text content. Use this tool when you need to add a header to a document. You can provide: - document_id: The ID of the document (required) - type: The header type (DEFAULT is the standard header) - text: Optional text content to add to the header - section_break_location: Optional location for section-specific headers
Create Named Range
PopularTool to create a new named range in a Google Document. Use this to assign a name to a specific part of the document for easier reference or programmatic manipulation.

PopularTool to add bullets to paragraphs within a specified range in a Google Document. Use when you need to format a list or a set of paragraphs as bullet points.
Create Document Tab
PopularCreates a new tab in a Google Docs document. Tabs allow you to organize document content into separate sections within a single document. Use this action when you need to add a new organizational tab to a document. When a tab is added at a specified index, all subsequent tabs' indexes are automatically incremented.
Delete Content Range in Document
PopularTool to delete a range of content from a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a specific portion of text or other structural elements within a document. Note: Every segment (body, header, footer, footnote) in Google Docs ends with a final newline character that cannot be deleted. Ensure the endIndex does not include this trailing newline.
Delete Footer
PopularTool to delete a footer from a Google Document. Use when you need to remove a footer from a specific section or the default footer.

PopularRetrieve a Google Doc by ID and return a best-effort plain-text rendering. Converts document structure into plain text including paragraphs, lists, and tables without requiring clients to traverse complex Docs API JSON.
Insert Image in Table Cell
PopularInserts an image from a given URI into a specific table cell in a Google Document. Use this action when you need to add an image to a particular cell within a table. The action identifies the target cell by table start index, row index, and column index, then inserts the image at the specified position within that cell's content.

Insert Table Column
PopularTool to insert a new column into a table in a Google Document. Use this tool when you need to add a column to an existing table at a specific location.
Insert Table Row
PopularInserts a new row into a table in a Google Document at a specified location. Use this action when you need to add a row to an existing table, either above or below a reference cell location.
Insert Text into Document
PopularTool to insert a string of text at a specified location within a Google Document. Use when you need to add new text content to an existing document. IMPORTANT: Two ways to specify insertion location: 1. Use 'insertion_index' to insert at a specific position (index 1 is safe for document start) 2. Use 'append_to_end=true' to append text to the end of the document (recommended for appending) CRITICAL CONSTRAINT: When using insertion_index, the index MUST fall within the bounds of an EXISTING paragraph. You cannot insert text at arbitrary indices or at structural boundaries (e.g., table starts). The index must also be strictly less than the document's end index. To safely append text without index concerns, use append_to_end=true.
Insert Text in Table Cell
PopularInserts text into a specific cell of a table in a Google Document by row and column position. Use this action when you need to add or update text content in a table cell at a known row and column index. To use this action, you must first retrieve the document structure using GOOGLEDOCS_GET_DOCUMENT_BY_ID to find the table's start index. Then specify the target cell by its zero-based row and column indices (e.g., row_index=0, column_index=0 for the top-left cell).
Get Charts from Spreadsheet
PopularTool to retrieve a list of all charts from a specified Google Sheets spreadsheet. Use when you need to get chart IDs and their specifications for embedding or referencing elsewhere, such as in Google Docs.

Get document by id
Retrieves an existing Google Document by its ID; will error if the document is not found.
Get Document End Index
Retrieves the end index and paragraph structure of a Google Document or specific segment. Use this action when you need to determine valid insertion points for text operations, especially before using insertText requests. The end index represents the maximum boundary of the document body or specified segment (header, footer, footnote, or tab).

Questions other Google Docs users had before signing up
Do I need to know how to code?
Not even a little. If you can use Google Docs today, you can set this up. You'll connect Google Docs, tell your AI what it should help with, and you're live. The whole thing is built for coaches, course creators, agencies, and operators — not engineers.
Will my clients know they're talking to an AI?
Only if you want them to. Your FormWise AI is trained on your voice, your offer, and the way you actually communicate — so it sounds like a thoughtful team member, not a clunky chatbot. Most people can't tell.
Can I make it sound like me?
Yes. You can give your AI examples of how you write, the questions you usually ask new clients, the way you handle objections, and the language you use about your offer. The more you give it, the more it sounds like you wrote it.
What if I want to take over a conversation?
You're always in control. You can step in at any point, take over from your AI, or stop it from sending messages until you've reviewed them. Think of it as a teammate, not a replacement.
Is my client data safe?
Yes. Your Google Docs login and client information stay scoped to your workspace. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and we don't use your data to train anyone else's AI. You can disconnect Google Docs or delete everything any time.
What happens when Google Docs updates their app?
We handle it. When Google Docs adds new features or changes how something works, we update the integration in the background. You don't have to do anything — your AI just keeps working.
How fast can I actually get this running?
Most people are up and running the same day they sign up. Connecting Google Docs takes a few minutes. Teaching your AI to handle the work the way you'd want it done is the part worth slowing down for.
What is FormWise?
FormWise is the AI agent builder for coaches, course creators, and agencies. You connect the apps you already use — like Google Docs — train your AI on your offer and voice, and let it handle the work you've been doing manually: onboarding, follow-ups, support, admin. No code, no developers, no engineering team required.
Can I sell AI agents to my clients?
Yes. A lot of FormWise users build AI assistants and sell them as part of their offer — done-for-you AI setups, white-label assistants for client businesses, custom GPTs trained on a client's brand. You can charge a setup fee, a monthly retainer, or both.
Can I embed my AI on my website or in my course?
Yes. Every AI you build in FormWise can be embedded on your site, dropped into your course platform, or shared as a standalone link. Your clients and students just open it like any other web page — no app to download, no login hoops.
Do I need to know anything about AI to use this?
No. If you can describe what you want your AI to do in plain English — "greet new clients, ask these 3 questions, book them a call" — FormWise can build it. We handle the models, the prompts, the connections. You handle the part you already know: what your business actually needs.
