It seems this isn't just MCP but a plugin into the Google ecosystem that allows side-by-side edit conversation with realtime changes similar to Gemini / Google AI Pro.
What I don't understand is, why would Google allow such direct competition to their own AI subscription? Looking forward to a community/open version of this tho it sounds like it needs something hosted to work.

Google doesn‘t really need the money and this way they get more training data and google workspace users
Same reason they sponsor Firefox; it helps keep anti-competition lawsuits at bay?
Or lack of trust in Gemini and fear that people move their workflow to whatever Claude supports and being slowly left out?
Never let me find out that Google sends data to Anthropic or OpenAI.
Ironic that this is even news. AI can do anything but probably not fight bureaucracy at Google.
I would’ve expected a connector to Google docs at least 1 year back
