Mica

Mica + Google Drive

Keep Google Docs. Add Mica for markdown and a tidier Drive.

Mica works on the files already in your Google Drive, so there is nothing to migrate. In our timed tests, an AI using Mica found and read docs as fast or faster, read about 5x fewer tokens, and did what the Google connectors can't: comment, restore a version and undo a folder cleanup.

Speed

As fast or faster where agents spend their time

Most of what an AI does in a Drive is find a doc, read part of one or check a folder. Through Mica it was faster at each, and significantly faster at the two heavier jobs: finding one section in a 20-page doc and scanning a folder for problems.

Google Docs was quicker at tiny edits to a Google Doc: five small edits took 4.6 s against Mica's 5.9 s and a one-sentence edit took 4.3 s against Mica's 5.3 s.

Mica:

Google Docs:
your AI using the Google Docs and Google Drive connectors on a Google Doc.
Markdown in Drive:
your AI using the Google Drive connector on a .md file. It can find and read one, but not edit it in place, comment on it or restore a version.

Tokens

A fraction of the tokens

Mica hands your AI the section it asked for, not the whole file, and a folder check as a short list of findings. Across the four tasks all three setups finished, your AI read about 5x fewer tokens through Mica. Reading one table came out about even.

Capabilities

Things the Google connectors can't do yet

The Google Drive connector can find and read a markdown file, but it can't edit one in place, comment on it or restore a version. And neither connector can undo a folder cleanup in one step.

Comment, reply and resolve Yes NoNo comment tools No
List versions and restore an earlier one Yes No No
Export to PDF, saved next to the doc YesIn one step PartlyExports, but can't save it to Drive No

Clean up a folder: propose, review, apply, undo YesAll 20 moves in one proposal, undone in one step with every doc back, in 3 of 3 runs PartlyProposal only; no one-step undo PartlyProposal only; no one-step undo

Of the three, only Mica also let your AI suggest a tracked change and accept it, remove someone's access to a doc (with sharing allowed) and bring a doc back from the trash.

Timed tests run by Mica in November 2026: 3 runs per task with Claude Sonnet 5.5, the same prompts for each setup, average shown. Tokens estimated from the size of tool results; tool definitions not counted. Results will vary with your docs and model. Google Docs, Google Drive and Gemini are trademarks of Google LLC.

Use both

Use both. They work on the same Drive.

Google Docs

For richly formatted docs: page layouts, fonts and images placed just so. Gemini in the doc, and quick edits to a Google Doc.

Mica

For the markdown docs your AI writes and edits, with comments and suggestions, readable version history, and PDF, Word or Google Doc exports saved next to the doc.

And for keeping your folders organized: Mica finds duplicates, old versions and broken links, and your AI proposes a cleanup that changes nothing until you accept it. Mica never calls an AI model to do it.
