Use AI on Any Google Docs Text — No Tab Switching
Select any text in Google Docs and trigger Prompt Anything Pro to summarize, rewrite, expand, or transform it with AI — right in your document workflow.
Last updated: March 6, 2026
Google Docs is where most collaborative writing happens — drafts, reports, proposals, meeting notes. Prompt Anything Pro integrates seamlessly into this workflow, letting you apply AI to any selected text without opening ChatGPT in a separate tab, copying content back and forth. This guide covers the most valuable use cases for using AI inside your Google Docs workflow.
Step-by-Step Guide
Select text and trigger Prompt Anything Pro
Prompt Anything Pro runs as an overlay on any Chrome tab, including Google Docs. To use it while editing a document:
- Select the text you want to process — a paragraph, a section, or a full document
- The Prompt Anything Pro toolbar appears above your selection, or press your keyboard shortcut
- Choose from your saved prompts or type a one-off prompt
- Review the AI response in the popup
- Click Copy to copy the result, then paste back into your doc
For replacing selected text with the AI output, copy the result and use Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V (paste and match formatting) to insert without disrupting your document's style.
Summarize long documents into executive summaries
For long Google Docs reports or research documents, Prompt Anything Pro can generate an executive summary in seconds:
- Select all text in the document (Ctrl/Cmd+A)
- Use prompt: "Write an executive summary of this document in 3–5 bullet points, each beginning with a key finding or recommendation."
- Copy the output
- In your Google Doc, position your cursor at the very top of the document and paste the summary there
- Format it as a styled block (e.g., a quote block or a table) to visually distinguish it from the body
This is particularly useful for documents you're sending to stakeholders who need the key points without reading the full document.
Rewrite text for different audiences
One of the most powerful uses of Prompt Anything Pro in Google Docs is adapting content for different audiences:
- Technical → Executive: Select technical documentation and prompt: "Rewrite this for a non-technical executive audience, focusing on business impact and avoiding jargon"
- Formal → Casual: Select formal copy and prompt: "Rewrite this in a conversational, friendly tone suitable for a blog post"
- English → Simple English: Select complex text and prompt: "Rewrite this at an 8th-grade reading level without losing accuracy"
- Passive → Active voice: Select a paragraph and prompt: "Rewrite all passive voice sentences in active voice"
Keep the original text and the rewritten version in the same document (using comment threads or a side-by-side section) until you decide which version to use.
Generate content from outlines
If you've written a structured outline in Google Docs, Prompt Anything Pro can expand it into full draft content section by section:
- Write your outline with H2/H3 headings and bullet points under each
- Select one section (heading + bullets)
- Use prompt: "Expand this outline section into a full 3–4 paragraph section. Maintain a professional tone. Use the bullet points as supporting evidence, not headers."
- Review the output, edit as needed, and paste back below the outline section
- Repeat for each section
This "expand from outline" workflow is faster than writing from scratch and more focused than generating entire documents in a single prompt.
Use AI for editing and proofreading passes
After drafting, use Prompt Anything Pro for a structured editing pass on your Google Doc:
- Grammar check — Select a section and prompt: "Fix any grammar errors in this text. Return only the corrected text with no commentary."
- Consistency check — Select the full doc and prompt: "List any inconsistencies in terminology, formatting, or style you notice in this document"
- Headline improvement — Select your H2 headings and prompt: "Improve these headings to be more specific and benefit-focused"
- CTA improvement — Select your call-to-action text and prompt: "Rewrite this call to action to be more specific about the benefit and create urgency"
