No more copying text between ChatGPT and Google Docs. Ask AI to rewrite a paragraph, fix grammar, or expand an argument - and see exactly what changed with inline diffs. Accept or revert each edit with one click.
Import directly from Google Docs (with comments), or drag and drop .docx, .md, .html, .epub, and .txt files. When you're done, export your polished document and submit it wherever you need.
Use Haiku for everyday edits. Pro adds Sonnet and GPT for more demanding writing and research. Choose a model in chat; all models share your monthly AI allowance.
Attach images or text. AI can reference your sources and search the web for facts and citations without leaving your document. Web searches count toward your AI allowance.
I used to spend half my writing time copying paragraphs between Google Docs and ChatGPT. Athens lets me do everything in one place - the inline diffs are a game changer.
I tried Jenni AI and NotebookLM but they felt clunky. Athens is what I actually wanted: a clean doc editor with AI built in. Fast mode for quick fixes, thinking mode for deep rewrites.
Athens is refreshingly simple. Write, ask AI for help, see exactly what changed. No learning curve, no complex workflows. It's just writing with a brilliant assistant.
The Google Docs import is seamless - brought over all my documents with comments intact. Now I use Athens for everything. The AI actually understands context, not just individual sentences.
I built Athens because I was tired of the copy-paste workflow between docs and AI. Now I write and edit in one place, and I can see exactly what the AI changed before accepting anything.
The web search integration is incredibly useful for research writing. I can ask Athens to fact-check a claim or find a citation without leaving my document.
I use Athens for technical documentation. Upload a PDF spec, ask it to draft a section, review the diff, done. It cut my writing time in half.
As a PM writing specs and briefs constantly, Athens is perfect. I upload source materials, draft in the editor, and let AI polish the language. All in one tab.
The fast mode is perfect for quick grammar and style fixes, and thinking mode handles complex restructuring. Having both in the same editor is exactly what I needed.
