Pointer

Pointer is a Chrome extension AI writing assistant for professionals and power users who write and edit in Google Docs.

Key capabilities include:

• Native Google Docs Suggestions: generates in-document edits you can accept or reject (like reviewing a human collaborator), without copy-pasting.
• Claude-powered editing with explanations: provides context on why each change was made, helping users review revisions with confidence.
• Preserves formatting and structure: keeps headings, lists, tables, and styles intact while applying edits inside the document.
• Voice typing support: enables speech-to-text editing workflows through voice commands.

Pricing: Freemium, with a free trial available, plus monthly and yearly paid plans; Pro plan $19.95/month.

What makes it notable is its in-document workflow: edits appear as real Google Docs Suggestions with revision history preserved, offering a faster alternative to drafting changes in external chat tools and copying them back into a document.
