Connect your Google Sheets to an AI assistant in three steps

Google Sheets is part of the built-in Google Workspace connector in Manus. There’s nothing to install or host, and you choose what Manus can reach.

Choose Google Workspace in Connectors

Open Connectors in Manus and select Google Workspace. It’s one connector for Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Forms.

Set Google Sheets to Read or Full

Pick a level for each service. Read lets Manus search and read without editing. Full lets it read and write.

Sign in, then ask

Select Authenticate with Google and approve access. Then mention Google Sheets or paste a sheet link in your request.

Configure Google Workspace

Select the Google services you want to connect and choose the access level for each.

Authenticate with Google

No need to switch to a new AI spreadsheet app or paste a CSV into a chat. Manus opens the sheet in your Google Drive, changes it in place and keeps your headers and formulas. The same sign-in covers Google Docs and Google Slides too, for example to replace text in a section or update speaker notes.

Frequently asked questions

What can Manus do in my Google Sheets?

Manus works in your spreadsheets through the built-in Google Workspace connector. Once you connect, it can create spreadsheets, read and cross-reference data across tabs, update cells and rows, and duplicate or rename tabs while keeping headers and formulas. There’s nothing to install.

Is this the AI that’s built into Google Sheets?

No. Manus is a separate AI agent. You connect your Google account to Manus once, then ask in Manus, and it opens and edits your sheets for you. In the same task it can also use Gmail, Google Docs, Google Slides and your other connected apps.

How do I connect Google Sheets to Manus?

In Manus, open Connectors and choose Google Workspace. Set Google Sheets to Read or Full, turn on any other Google services you want, then select Authenticate with Google and approve access. After that, mention Google Sheets or paste a sheet link in your request, or start from an example on this page.

Can Manus create a Google Sheets spreadsheet for me?

Yes. Describe the sheet you want, such as a content calendar or a list built from your files, and Manus creates it in your Google Drive, fills in the rows and sends you the link. It can also add tabs to existing spreadsheets and keep them up to date.

Does Manus AI use MCP for Google Sheets?

You don’t need to set up a Google Sheets MCP server. Google Sheets comes with the Google Workspace connector that’s already built into Manus, so there’s nothing to install or host. Connect it in Connectors, sign in with Google and any task can use it. If you run your own MCP server for another tool, you can add it in Connectors with Custom MCP.

What can Manus see and change in my Google account?

Only the services you turn on, at the level you choose. Off means Manus can’t see it, Read means it can search and read but never edit, and Full means it can read and write. Sign-in uses Google’s standard OAuth 2.0, so Manus only has the permissions you grant. Files are accessed in an isolated sandbox for the duration of your task and aren’t kept after it ends. You can disconnect Google Workspace in Connectors at any time.

Will Manus delete or overwrite my data?

Manus only acts on what you ask it to do. Before a destructive move like deleting a file, it asks you to confirm, and anything deleted stays in your Google Drive Trash for 30 days. If you only need reports and summaries, set Google Sheets to Read.

Can Manus automate Google Sheets on a schedule?

Yes. Put the timing in your request, such as every Friday at 5 PM or the 1st of every month, and Manus sets it up as a scheduled task that reads and updates your sheet on each run. Your scheduled tasks are listed in Automations.

Is this the same as the Google Drive connector?

Yes. The Google Drive connector was upgraded to Google Workspace, so Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides and Google Forms now connect through a single connector. In Connectors, look for Google Workspace.

Can Manus edit Google Docs and Google Slides too?

Yes. With the same connection, Manus can replace text, insert paragraphs into a specific section and reply to comments in Google Docs. In Google Slides, it can replace placeholder text across a deck, add a slide in a specific position, update speaker notes and reorder slides.

Can I connect more than one Google account?

Yes. The Google Workspace connector supports multiple accounts, and you can link up to 10 Google accounts at the same time.
