Every major productivity tool today — Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion — was designed before large language models existed. AI was bolted on after the fact, as a sidebar or a plugin. We asked ourselves: what would an office suite look like if AI was a first-class primitive from day one?
That question led us to build Mila.
The Problem with Bolt-On AI
When you add AI to an existing editor, you're constrained by the original architecture. The document model wasn't designed for AI operations. Collaboration protocols don't account for AI-generated content. The result is awkward: AI lives in a chat window next to your document, disconnected from the actual editing experience.
What We Built
Mila is an AI-native office suite with three core products:
Mila Docs
A word processor where AI is deeply integrated into the document editing flow. Our Deep Research feature pulls from 20x more sources than ChatGPT and inserts cited paragraphs directly into your document — not in a sidebar, but as proper document operations with Accept/Decline controls.
Mila Sheets
Spreadsheets with AI-powered formulas and data analysis. Create budgets, trackers, and dashboards using natural language. The AI understands your spreadsheet context and suggests formulas that actually work with your data.
Mila Slides
Presentation builder with AI assistance for content, layout, and design. Generate entire decks from a prompt, or work slide-by-slide with intelligent suggestions.
Technical Decisions That Mattered
CRDT-based architecture: We chose CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for our collaboration layer. This gives us reliable real-time collaboration with proper undo/redo and version control — something that becomes critical when AI is making edits alongside human users.
Multi-model AI routing: Different tasks call for different models. We route between Claude, Gemini, and GPT models depending on the task — summarization might go to one model, code generation to another. This gives users better results without them having to think about which AI to use.
API and MCP support: Everything in Mila is accessible via API. We also ship an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint at mcp.mila.gg, so AI agents can read and write Mila documents programmatically.
Where We Are
We've grown to 74,000+ users across 50+ countries. We offer geo-tiered pricing because we believe powerful tools shouldn't be gated by geography — a student in Colombia should have access to the same AI writing tools as someone in San Francisco.
Free tier available. Pro plans start at $20/month.
