Smarter and smoother: discover the new version of the AI Plugin in ONLYOFFICE

We’re excited to introduce the latest version of the AI plugin in ONLYOFFICE, which brings smarter interactions, a more intuitive design, and even greater flexibility right into your documents. Whether you’re drafting content, translating, rewriting, or exploring ideas, this upgrade makes working with AI smoother, faster, and easier than ever. Let’s take a look at what’s new and how it can supercharge your productivity.

What is the AI plugin in ONLYOFFICE?

The AI plugin is your built-in writing and productivity assistant available in ONLYOFFICE documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. It connects to popular AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, and even local providers such as Ollama and GPT4ALL. You can assign different models to specific tasks like content generation, translation, summarization, grammar correction, and more — all from within your editor, with no need to switch apps.

What’s new in the latest release?

This version introduces a series of quality-of-life improvements and interface upgrades designed to help you interact with AI more comfortably and effectively.

Chat window docking: left panel or floating

You now have the option to pin the chat window to the left sidebar or keep it floating within the document area. This gives you more flexibility depending on your workspace preferences or screen layout. Switch between the two modes with a single click, and keep your document and AI assistant in perfect sync.

New start buttons in the chat window

A redesigned start interface in the chat window makes it easier to begin a conversation with your AI assistant. Pre-configured prompts and clearer controls help guide your interaction, whether you’re looking to generate text, ask a question, or run an advanced task.

Smart action buttons right in the editor

We’ve added a set of quick processing buttons that appear directly within the document editor when AI is in use:

• Generate new – instantly create a new version or variation
• Copy – save the output with one click
• Replace original text – substitute your selected content with the AI result
• Insert result – add the AI response into your document
• In comment / Review – insert output as a comment or suggestion

These new controls make editing, reviewing, and experimenting with content much faster — no more copy-paste loops or switching between tabs.

Bug fixes and interface enhancements

This update also delivers numerous bug fixes and refinements to the user interface. The AI panel is now cleaner, more intuitive, and more responsive. Tooltips, layout spacing, and performance have all been optimized to ensure a seamless user experience.

How to start using the updated AI plugin

• Open ONLYOFFICE Document Editor.
• Go to the Plugins tab and launch the Plugin Manager if you’ve used any AI helper within the editor. Otherwise, simply hit the Update button to use the new version of the AI plugin.
