ONLYOFFICE 10.0 adds context-aware AI and modular apps to office suite

Context-aware AI integration

ONLYOFFICE 10.0 introduces a dedicated AI tab that functions directly within the document, spreadsheet, and presentation editors. Unlike general chatbots, this system is designed to be context-aware, meaning it understands the specific content of the file you are currently working on. This allows users to perform tasks like summarizing a 50-page contract or extracting key terms in seconds without copying text into a separate application.

The update includes ready-made prompts for common workflows, but it also allows for deeper customization. Teams can create their own quick AI actions, build custom assistants, and save specific prompts for repeated use. These tools are intended to automate routine tasks, such as turning raw data into a forecast or converting a single idea into a structured presentation with speaker notes.

For cloud users, the AI service is powered by OpenRouter and can be switched on without a complex setup process. However, the software also supports server deployments that can connect to any AI model, including those hosted locally. This flexibility ensures that sensitive documents never have to leave an organization's private infrastructure, which is a critical requirement for government, healthcare, and legal teams.

New modular apps and features

The release includes four new free modular apps licensed under AGPL v3 to extend the functionality of ONLYOFFICE Docs. These include AI Agents, which use MCP servers to provide intelligent search and a personalized knowledge base. There is also a Forms app for data collection that uses AI to analyze responses, and a Files app to centralize document storage with specific access controls.

For collaborative work, the Rooms app supports secure environments, including Virtual Data Rooms designed for confidential content. In the cloud version, these modular apps are enabled by default, while server users can install them using a single command. These additions aim to create a more cohesive workspace where data management and collaboration are integrated into the core editing experience.

Beyond the new apps, the suite received numerous editor-specific upgrades to improve daily efficiency. The PDF Editor now includes metadata removal and automatic table recognition, while the Document Editor adds a "Keep with next" option to manage content flow. Spreadsheets received performance optimizations for functions like SUMIF and COUNTIFS, and the Presentation editor now allows users to export slides as GIFs or videos.

Security and platform updates

Security is a primary focus of the 10.0 update, which addresses 35 specific vulnerabilities. The developers noted that as AI provides attackers with new methods to find and exploit weaknesses, a hardened platform is necessary for organizations handling sensitive data. These fixes are intended to strengthen the protection of the open-source suite against modern cyber threats.

The update also brings visual and functional improvements to desktop and mobile platforms. Desktop editors feature a refreshed homepage, redesigned templates, and visual improvements specifically for Linux users. For those on the go, the free iOS and Android apps now include an AI assistant that supports providers like Grok and DeepSeek, along with AI AutoFill for forms and on-device voice input.

The software continues to expand its compatibility and plugin ecosystem. Users can now work with .ofd files, save spreadsheets in the .xls format, and convert SVG images into editable shapes. A redesigned Plugin Manager makes it easier to organize community add-ons, including new connectors for Salesforce and tools like Antidote and Curly.

Collaborative and global reach

The Document Editor has received specific updates to improve the experience for teams working together simultaneously. Co-authors can now follow each other's cursors in real time, providing a clearer sense of where others are working within a file. Additionally, a new "Keep with next" option helps maintain the logical flow of content, while right-to-left support has been made more reliable for diverse language needs.
