How to Add AI to OnlyOffice Desktop Editors
What You’ll Need
For this, you’ll need two things: a running instance of the new version of OnlyOffice Desktop Editors (at least version 8.2.2.22, which can be installed on Linux, MacOS, and Windows), a valid account for one of the above AI models, and an API key from the AI model you’ve chosen.
How to Add an AI Model to OnlyOffice Desktop Editors
To add an AI model to OnlyOffice Desktop Editors, you’ll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Install the AI Plugin
Create a new document and click on the Plugins tab. From there, click Plugin Manager, locate the AI plugin, and click Install. Once you’ve done this, close the Plugin Manager and restart OnlyOffice Desktop Editors.
Step 2: Configure the AI Model
Create another document, and you’ll see the AI tab at the top. Click that tab and then click Settings.
Step 3: Add the AI Model
In the resulting pop-up, you’ll see an "Edit AI models" button in the bottom-right corner. Click that button. In the next window, click Add.
Step 4: Configure the AI Model
In the resulting pop-up, give the AI model a name, select your provider, and add your API key. Once you’ve added the API key, click "Update models list," and then, from the drop-down, select the model you want to use. You can then select what you want to use the model for — choose from text, images, embeddings, audio, content moderation, real-time tasks, coding help, and visual analysis.
Using the AI Feature
Before you add the model, you’ll need to generate an API key from your AI account. Once you’ve taken care of that, restart the app again. When you create a new document this time, you’ll see new icons for the AI feature (such as Ask AI, Summarization, and Translation). You can now start using AI within the OnlyOffice Desktop Editors app. The AI addition is straightforward, so you shouldn’t have any problems getting up to speed with its usage.
Conclusion
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors has added the ability to integrate AI for queries, summaries, and translations. This feature works seamlessly, but you have to manually configure the AI model of your choice. By following these steps, you can add an AI model to OnlyOffice Desktop Editors and start using its features.
