Get started: Add-on

The Google Workspace add-on runs inside Google’s own apps, in any browser: a sidebar in Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms, cards in Gmail and Drive, the GPT formulas in Sheets and the Google Chat app.

Open the GPT Workspace listing on the Google Workspace Marketplace and click Install, then Continue and accept the permissions.

Single-app listings exist too if you only want one app: AI for Sheets, AI Docs, AI Slides, AI Forms and GPT for Gmail.

In Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Forms, click Extensions ➤ GPT Workspace ➤ ▶️ Start. The first time, Google asks you to authorize the add-on.
