Pointer is your AI copilot, working directly within Google Docs to offer smart, real-time edits. Say goodbye to manual copy-pasting from ChatGPT and fixing broken text formatting. Enjoy efficient, polished suggestions that you can easily approve.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Rade, the developer behind Pointer AI, and I'm thrilled to unveil my latest creation with you all. This is my 5th product launch this year, and it's especially exciting because Pointer AI transforms how you interact with Google Docs!
Imagine having an intern who follows your exact instructions, clicking around and making suggestions right within Google Docs. That's what Pointer AI does! It's not just a chat interface—it actively types out suggestions for you to approve, complete with insightful comments that explain the reasoning behind each change.
Inspired by Claude's "Computer Use," Pointer AI is specifically built for Google Docs, eliminating the hassle of copying from ChatGPT and fixing formatting issues. You'll be amazed at how smoothly it integrates your feedback, making your documents shine 5x faster.
For me, watching Pointer AI in action is like witnessing magic—seeing your ideas come to life with remarkable precision and efficiency, all without leaving the familiar Google Docs environment.
I can't wait for you to try it out and hear your feedback. Head over to the Chrome Web Store to check Pointer AI out!
Thanks for being such a supportive community. I hope you find as much joy in using Pointer AI as I did in creating it! 😊
I just tried it, and it’s amazing, exactly what I needed! Does anyone know how often the free tries reset? Or do I need to purchase it once I’ve used up the 5 free tries?
I recommend Pointer because it's a great AI advisor for Google Docs. It helps to instantly enhance the text with smart editing suggestions in real-time. No more copying and pasting text from ChatGPT
I just started using it, Awesome Copilot, that I should recommend everyone in my circle.
Amazing job on launching AI Editing Co-Pilot for Google Docs! 🎊 This product is a game-changer for boosting productivity, creativity, and precision in content creation.
Having an AI-powered assistant directly integrated into Google Docs is the perfect solution for writers, professionals, and teams striving to work smarter and faster. 💡✨
Wishing you massive success and looking forward to exploring all the features. 👏🔥
Really impressed by Pointer's seamless integration with Google Docs!
What I love most:
- Native experience: No more copy/paste between AI tools and docs
- Real-time suggestions: The AI feedback feels natural and non-intrusive
- Format preservation: Maintains all your document styling
- Simple workflow: Reduces context switching significantly
As a developer who writes a lot of documentation, this solves a real pain point. The direct integration with Google Docs is a game-changer for my workflow.
One suggestion: Would love to see template support for different types of writing (technical docs, blog posts, etc).
Great work on focusing on the user experience! This is how AI tools should be built - enhancing existing workflows rather than creating new ones.
Google docs needs something like this! Well done @whoisrade fascinating to watch it work
Seems very useful for my daily workflow. Congrats on the launch, Nikola and the team!!
Had me at changes as suggestions. It's insane this doesn't come baked in. Hope to see Pointer in more of the apps I write in, I need it in each and every one.
Pretty Nice, @whoisrade! I've been after similar functionality for one particular future aspect of our product, would love to chat and see if we can find a way to collaborate. Really well designed interaction!
Awesome product! Saves me a lot of time editing google docs. Does it also support google sheet, slides, etc?
Congrats on the launch, @djordjevic_nikola @whoisrade - We use docs as a primary source of content creation. Which LLM is powering the tool? Is it something you guys have developed or are you building off Anthropic / Openai / other?
This is brilliant! And neat. I really liked how it adds suggestions and doesn't make the changes right away. It's almost like working with a thoughtful editor.
Thanks for working on this @whoisrade. I hope it gets all the attention it deserves.
@whoisrade congrats on the launch! Looks cool, nice it explains every step. Good job :)
