What happened
ONLYOFFICE released version 10.0, context‑aware AI features across its editors and launching four new free modular apps while fixing dozens of bugs and security issues.
On Oct 10, 2026 ONLYOFFICE announced its 10.0 autumn update, which adds a dedicated AI tab to the Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation and PDF editors. The tab includes a built‑in chat that can draft text, summarise contracts, generate forecasts, create Pivot Tables and format content directly in the file.
The release bundles around 50 new features and more than 1,000 bug fixes for online, desktop and mobile editors. New capabilities include metadata removal in the PDF editor, real‑time cursor following in documents, faster spreadsheet calculations, animated copy marquee, new view modes for presentations, and support for .ofd files and SVG‑to‑shape conversion.
Four free modular Apps—AI Agents, Forms, Files and Rooms—extend ONLYOFFICE Docs under an AGPL v3 licence. AI Agents provide intelligent search, a personalised and extended reasoning powered by MCP servers. The Apps are enabled by default in the cloud and can be installed on‑premises with a single command.
Security is highlighted with patches for 35 vulnerabilities. Organizations can control AI usage by selecting models based on quality, speed and cost; cloud users may enable AI via OpenRouter, while server deployments can connect any model, including locally hosted ones, keeping sensitive data within the organisation’s infrastructure.
Mobile iOS and Android apps now include an AI assistant with providers such as Grok and DeepSeek, AI‑driven autofill for forms and voice input for on‑the‑go work.

Why it matters
The update makes AI‑driven drafting, summarising, translation and formatting available inside the office suite without leaving the file, potentially lowering reliance on external AI services and keeping sensitive data on‑premises. It also broadens the ecosystem with free Apps that automate search, knowledge‑base creation and secure collaboration, and it addresses 35 newly disclosed vulnerabilities, strengthening the platform for enterprise users.
AI directly in the editing environment reduces the need to copy data to external chat services, which can mitigate data leakage risks for legal, financial and governmental users.
The ability to connect self‑hosted models gives enterprises greater control over privacy and compliance, a growing concern as AI regulations tighten worldwide.
By releasing the new modular Apps under an open‑source licence, ONLYOFFICE encourages community contributions and may accelerate adoption in sectors that prefer open‑source software for cost or sovereignty reasons.
Fixing 35 vulnerabilities demonstrates a proactive security posture, important for organisations that store confidential documents and are increasingly targeted by AI‑enhanced cyber threats.
The inclusion of AI providers like DeepSeek and Grok expands the model ecosystem beyond dominant commercial APIs, offering potentially lower‑cost alternatives for users.
