Agents can now leave comments and suggestions on Google Docs

The Google Docs API finally added support for comments and suggestions.

These were all written by Claude:

A Google Docs proofreading test showing AI-generated suggested edits in the document and explanatory comments in the sidebar

I’m doing this via the gdoc CLI, which works with Claude Code or Codex. An MCP port could make it work with Cowork or ChatGPT. Not a developer? Ask your tech team, or wait a few weeks for the consumer apps to enable it...

Proof of concept: here’s the /proofread-doc skill I used for the test above.

I’m learning to work with AI, to help make AGI go well. This is my study journal.
