Footage — Sidebar prompt slots and one-click transforms, end to end.

A Google Docs sidebar add-on that turns the document itself into the prompt workspace: no app-switching, no copy-paste loop.

What it does

  • Custom prompt slots. Save the prompts you actually use for your own writing.
  • One-click transforms. Rephrase, summarize, or expand any selection.
  • ChatGPT-style loop in-doc. Keep iterating on the same span without leaving the file.

Why it exists

Most L&D writing work is short-form and iterative: 200 words of module copy, a rewrite for tone, a summary for an email. Every app-switch is a context tax. Living inside Docs removes it.
