# Google Docs: create a document

Automatically create a document on docs.google.com. Create a new Google Doc in the signed-in account's Drive, with a title and optional text, and return its id, link and the account it was created in. Each line of the text becomes a paragraph, added exactly as given (no automatic lists or curly quotes). When the browser is signed in to several Google accounts, pass the account to create it in; otherwise Google Docs picks one.

## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/docs.google.com/create_document`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/docs.google.com/create_document
```

## Input

- `title` (string, required): The document's title.
- `text` (string, optional): Text for the document's body. Each line becomes its own paragraph, added as given: quotes stay straight and lines starting with - or 1. stay plain text, not lists. Leave it out for an empty document.
- `account` (string, optional): Google account to create the document in when the browser is signed in to several. Without it, Google Docs picks the account itself (usually the one used last), and the result says which one it was.

## Output

- `id` (string, required): The new document's id; pass it to get_document or append_text.
- `url` (string, required)
- `text` (string, required): The document's body as read back, one line per paragraph.
- `title` (string, required): The title as read back from the document.
- `verified` (boolean, required): True when the document, read back, has the given title and text.
- `accountUsed` (string | null, required): Email of the Google account the document was created in.
