EDITORAI-native editor Acrylic works directly inside your documents, sheets, and slides.

Ask, fix, or build, right inside your documents, sheets, and slides.

Ask about the content or tell Acrylic what to fix. You can also have it build a new document, sheet, or presentation from scratch.

Acrylic recognizes paragraphs, tables, cells, formulas, and slides, and changes only what needs changing.

Review Acrylic's edits in the editor, make your own changes or undo them, then save in the original file format.

Work directly with the DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX files already in it. Nothing to upload or move elsewhere.

Have Acrylic update a report from a spreadsheet, then turn the report into a presentation—all from one request.

Acrylic works from the files you have open and the files you connect to the request. See which files it opened and what it changed at every step.
