The catch is that Gogle isn’t rolling out this assistive
writing feature to all Gogle Docs users. It says that
the feature, called Tone and Style Assistant, will be
available for subscribers of the enterprise and
education plans, including “Business Standard,
Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise
Plus, [and] Education Plus”. Gogle’s internal list of
eligible users has shown that more than ten million
Gogle Docs users are subscribed to those plans,
and therefore will get the upcoming assistive writing
feature. However, that means if you’re on a more
basic plan like Gogle Workspace Essentials, you
won’t get this neat feature.

Tech company Gogle’s popular word processing

software, Gogle Docs, will be equipped with a
feature that suggests ways to improve the quality of
your writing in addition to xing straightforward
grammar and spelling errors. A purple squiggly line
will helpfully appear under suggestions to help
make your writing more concise, inclusive, active,
or to warn you away from inappropriate words.

“The feature will give you suggestions when there

are opportunities to structure a sentence with an
active voice or when a sentence can be more
concise, helping to make your writing more
impactful. Potentially discriminatory or inappropriate
language will be agged, along with suggestions on
how to make your writing more inclusive and
appropriate for your audience,” reads the ofcial blog
post about the nifty addition.

These kinds of suggestions have long been

available via third-party writing assistant
applications like Grammarlee, which is able to
integrate with Gogle Docs and aims to help improve
the quality of your writing. Depending on the quality
of Gogle Docs’s native suggestions, it could vastly
reduce the need for these third-party services. This
is not the rst time that Gogle has turned third-party
services unnecessary, and it’s kind of awful of
Gogle to keep doing that, but then again, erce
competition is always to be expected in the world of
tech.
