Office Documents
Scenario
You need to write a weekly status report for your manager every Monday. The raw material is scattered across meeting notes, emails, and task logs.Materials
- A folder or files containing this week’s work data (meeting notes, task lists, email exports, etc.)
- An optional template or past report for formatting reference
Steps
1
Upload Your Files
Drag and drop your files into the chat window, or click the attachment button to select them. Myrm supports Word, Excel, PDF, TXT, and Markdown.
2
Describe Your Goal
Type a natural language request:
“Based on these files, write a weekly status report. Include: key accomplishments, blockers, and next week’s priorities. Output as a Word document.”
3
Review the Output
Myrm generates the report as a downloadable artifact. Click the artifact card to preview it directly in the chat — Word documents (.docx) and PowerPoint presentations (.pptx) render with full formatting right in the Artifact Portal, preserving headings, tables, and layout without needing Office installed. Spreadsheet artifacts also support in-portal multi-sheet switching, search, and CSV export for quick verification before delivery. You can also download the file to edit in your desktop application.
4
Iterate if Needed
If adjustments are needed, simply tell the agent:
“Add a section about the client meeting on Wednesday” or “Make the tone more formal”
Deployment note: File access works the same across Local WebUI, Tauri Desktop, and SaaS Cloud. On Local/Tauri, the agent can also read files directly from your local filesystem with your permission.
Deliverable
A formatted Word document (.docx) containing your weekly status report, ready to send to your manager.More Examples
Generate a Presentation (PowerPoint)
“Create a 10-slide PowerPoint deck summarizing our Q2 results. Use a dark tech style with blue accents.”Myrm generates a
.pptx file with real editable text, charts, and tables — not screenshots or images. You can open it in PowerPoint or Google Slides and continue editing.
Generate an Excel Report with Charts
“Build an Excel workbook with Q1–Q4 revenue data, a bar chart comparing quarters, and formulas for YoY growth.”Every calculation uses Excel formula strings (e.g.,
=SUM(B2:B5)), so the spreadsheet stays dynamic when you update inputs.
Why editable matters: Some AI tools generate slides as images (one picture per slide). Myrm uses python-pptx to create real PowerPoint elements — text you can edit, charts you can update, tables you can sort. This is critical for business use where documents need revision after generation.
In-app preview + select-to-act: Myrm is the only open-source AI assistant that renders Word and PowerPoint files with high fidelity directly in the browser. No need to download and open in a separate application — preview your .docx and .pptx artifacts instantly in the Artifact Portal with original styling preserved. In DOCX preview mode, selecting text brings up a floating toolbar with modify / explain / optimize / copy actions, giving you the same AI-powered text interaction available across all 5 artifact types (Code, HTML, Markdown, DOCX, Spreadsheet).
Excel live editing with full fidelity: The built-in SpreadsheetEditor preserves formulas, styles, merged cells, and number formats during roundtrip editing — your
=SUM() formulas won’t silently become static values. When opening files with charts, macros, or pivot tables, a degradation warning appears so you know to back up first. Unsaved edits are auto-persisted to IndexedDB and can be recovered after a browser crash.Select & Edit with AI: In Document and Code previews, select any text and a floating toolbar appears — click “Modify”, “Explain”, or “Optimize” to let the Agent operate on exactly what you selected. For HTML artifacts, an Element Picker lets you point at any DOM element and ask the Agent to change it. All selection actions automatically inject your unsaved edits (dirty state) into the context, so the Agent never overwrites your manual changes.
Visual Quality Gate (Cloud Sandbox): When running in the cloud sandbox, Myrm automatically renders your generated document to images after creation, inspects every page for text overflow, element overlap, low contrast, excessive whitespace, and chart truncation. If any defects are found, it self-corrects up to 3 rounds — so the delivered document is visually polished, not just structurally correct. On local/desktop deployments, this step is gracefully skipped.
Acceptance Criteria
- Report covers all key work items from the uploaded materials
