What it does
Generates native Office files directly from a written brief rather than producing HTML that you then paste in, which is why the formatting survives - it works against the underlying OOXML and can follow existing templates. Useful for first drafts of the routine documents people rebuild by hand every week. Output still needs checking, particularly figures and names, and your brief goes to whichever AI service you configure.

officedex FAQ
- Is officedex free?
- officedex itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use officedex?
- You install it like a normal desktop app. No command line involved.
- Does officedex work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use officedex commercially?
- The licence is GPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
