Shimo Docs

石墨文档 (Shimo) is China’s leading real-time collaborative document platform, with AI writing, spreadsheets, slides and enterprise-grade controls.

Overview

石墨文档 pioneered real-time collaborative docs in China and now serves tens of thousands of organizations with documents, spreadsheets, slides, forms and mind maps in one workspace. Its AI capabilities draft and polish text, summarize long documents, generate tables and formulas, and power enterprise knowledge Q&A. Fine-grained permissions (view/comment/edit at paragraph or cell level), document history and watermarking make it safe for business use, and private deployment satisfies data-localization needs. It is a common alternative to Google Docs for Chinese teams.

Teams draft documents together in real time with paragraph-level permissions controlling who can see what, and AI assists with drafting, summarizing and generating tables. Spreadsheets and slides share the same permission model, so sensitive financials stay visible only to intended editors. Document history tracks every change, watermarking deters leaks, and the knowledge base turns documents into searchable organizational memory.

Pricing

石墨文档 is freemium: individual and small-team use is free with limits, paid business plans add advanced permissions, larger storage and admin features, and enterprise editions include private deployment.

Who Is It For

It serves Chinese companies, government-affiliated organizations and teams needing Google-Docs-style collaboration with domestic hosting and stricter controls.

A finance department drafts monthly reports in shared spreadsheets where only authorized managers see compensation columns, while AI summarizes the finished document for leadership distribution. Version history resolves questions about who changed which figure, and watermarked external sharing protects sensitive numbers sent to partners. The knowledge base then archives every report, letting new employees search past decisions instead of asking colleagues for old files.
