OfficeCLI

What it does

A single binary that lets any agent read and write .docx, .xlsx and .pptx without Office installed — and, unusually, renders them to HTML or PNG so the agent can look at what it just produced and fix the layout. That render-look-fix loop is the difference between a file that opens and a file that looks right. Documentation in Japanese among other languages. Verify formulas and figures yourself; a spreadsheet can look correct while computing nothing. Apache-2.0.

OfficeCLI FAQ

Is OfficeCLI free?

Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.

Do I need to install anything or write code to use OfficeCLI?

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does OfficeCLI work on a phone?

No. It needs a computer.

Can I use OfficeCLI commercially?

The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
