# AiAssistWorks Integration

AVELIN API is compatible with AiAssistWorks — AI for Google Sheets, Slides & Docs. Process 100k+ rows with text commands and create charts/pivot tables using 100+ AI models.

AiAssistWorks brings AI natively into Google Workspace — Sheets, Slides, and Docs — so you never have to leave your spreadsheet to get intelligent work done. Its killer feature is the ability to process 100,000+ rows in Sheets using plain text commands: ask it to "summarize sales by region and create a pivot table" and it just works. With access to 100+ AI models, you can pick the right model for classification, summarization, chart generation, or data transformation.

Designed for analysts, marketers, and operations teams who live in Google Workspace, AiAssistWorks eliminates the copy-paste-to-ChatGPT workflow entirely. Connect it to AVELIN for fast, cost-effective model access across your entire Workspace stack.

> **Why AVELIN + AiAssistWorks?** Leverage AVELIN's frontier models with 1M-token context windows, automatic failover, and competitive pricing for automation workflows.
