Enable Full Document Context Awareness for AI Agent
The current AI agent (beta v2.4.2+) requires manual text selection for all operations, including document summarization. Users must explicitly select content with Ctrl+A before the AI can analyze or summarize documents. This creates a significant workflow interruption compared to competitors like Microsoft 365 Copilot, which automatically accesses full document context.
Requested Enhancement:
Add automatic document-level context awareness to the AI agent, enabling:
Automatic summarization of entire documents without requiring Ctrl+A selection
Document-wide Q&A where users can ask questions about document content without copying/pasting sections
Cross-section analysis that references multiple parts of a document in a single AI response
Contextual suggestions based on the full document rather than just the current paragraph
Use Case:
When I invoke the AI agent with Ctrl+/ and type "summarize this document" or "what are the main points?", the AI should automatically analyze the entire document rather than requiring me to pre-select all text. This matches expected behavior from modern AI assistants.
Implementation Suggestion:
Add a user preference toggle for "Full Document Context" in AI plugin settings
Allow users to specify context scope: selected text only, current section, or entire document
Consider memory/token limits for large documents, possibly offering a "summarize by sections" fallback
Benefits:
Eliminates repetitive manual selection workflow
Matches user expectations from other AI-powered office suites
Enables more sophisticated document analysis capabilities
Maintains OnlyOffice's competitive advantage in privacy-focused AI integration
It is planned in one of the future releases.

Thank you very much for the use cases and the great description of the idea.
Full document context access will be added in one of the next versions of the AI plugin.
We are already working on it.
Stay tuned!
