Installation
Prerequisites
- A Microsoft 365 subscription with access to Microsoft Word (desktop or web).
- An active Irys One account at core.iqidis.ai.
Installing the add-in
Open Microsoft Word
Launch Word and open any document, or create a new blank document.
Open the add-in store
Go to Home > Add-ins (or Insert > Get Add-ins depending on your Word version). The Microsoft Office Add-in Store dialog will open.
Search for Irys
Type Irys in the search bar and press Enter. Select the Irys AI add-in from the results.
Install
Click Add to install the add-in. Word will download and enable it automatically.
Sign in
Click the Irys icon in the Word ribbon or sidebar. Sign in with the same email and password you use at core.iqidis.ai. If your organization uses SSO, you will be redirected to your identity provider.
Tip: Once installed, the add-in persists across all Word documents. You do not need to reinstall it each time you open a new file.
Accessing the sidebar
After installation, open the Irys sidebar at any time by clicking the Irys icon in the Word ribbon. The sidebar provides access to the AI Assistant, research tools, and cite-checking features.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Add-in does not appear in the store | Confirm your Microsoft 365 subscription supports add-ins. Contact your IT administrator if add-in installation is restricted by policy. |
| Sign-in fails | Verify your credentials at core.iqidis.ai first. If your organization enforces SSO, ensure you are on the corporate network or VPN. |
| Sidebar is blank | Close and reopen the sidebar. If the issue persists, restart Word. |
