Drafts that land.
Specialized agent for documents — outline, write, edit in flow.
- Rewrites and refines selected passages on command
- Detects inconsistencies across long documents
- Summarizes reports into executive-ready briefs
The solution
Three agents that understand the file in front of them and work inside your own LibreOffice, where your documents already live. To reason, they send the text they read to frontier AI models.
One prompt reads the Data sheet, writes a ratio table on a new Dashboard sheet and charts the results, with every ratio calculated from your figures. Replica of the app window, driven through the agent's real states, not a screen recording.
Each one is built for the file type it works on. A spreadsheet is not a document with rows, and a deck is not a document with pages.
Specialized agent for documents — outline, write, edit in flow.
Generate formulas, audit sheets, automate analysis without leaving Calc.
Outline-to-deck in minutes — your structure, just faster.
A general assistant sees your document as text in a box. It cannot select the third paragraph, read the formula behind a cell, or reorder your slides — so it hands you an answer and leaves the work to you.
An OfficeLabs agent operates the application. It works through the same interfaces the app itself uses, which means it can act on the file rather than describe what you should do to it. That is the whole difference between advice and work.
Every team has them: macros scattered across workbooks, written by someone who has since left, with no history and nobody willing to change them. Macro Studio turns them into versioned tools you can read and change. The way coding agents work on software, brought to your spreadsheets and documents. You describe the change, the agent writes the macro, and every save is kept.
Macro Studio
Coming soonPlanned
Your macros in GitHub
Push macros to a repository and review what changed, the way code is reviewed.
Bottom panel shown is planned, not yet available.
Describe it: the agent reads and writes the macro, and the change is saved as a new version.

The agent works inside your LibreOffice; to reason, it sends the text it reads to frontier AI models. Here is the honest split, including the part most tools leave out.

How it compares
All three add AI to Microsoft Office. OfficeLabs is built into LibreOffice. Where a vendor's own pages do not say, the cell reads Not documented, not No.
Claude for Office needs a Microsoft 365 subscription build of Excel. OfficeLabs runs in LibreOffice.
Copilot's model picker needs a commercial Copilot or Microsoft 365 Premium subscription and an admin setting for Anthropic models.
All four cover the three core apps. Claude for Office adds Outlook in public beta.
OfficeLabs ships 70 skills, including nine financial-modelling blueprints. Copilot and Claude both support reusable skills.
Macro Studio imports VBA, writes macros and versions them, with approval before a run. It is in active development and not yet available. Anthropic lists macros and VBA operations as unsupported in Claude for Office.
Microsoft Office can open ODF, but Copilot's supported-formats page lists OOXML and legacy formats, not .odt, .ods or .odp.
