To let your users edit a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file with AI inside your product, use the Doconda editor plugin (@doconda/editor). It comes with an assistant: the user clicks ✨, types what they want (“make it more formal”, “add a row with the March total”, “a closing slide”) and the assistant makes the changes in the document itself while it answers. The user accepts or discards them in one go, and the file is still a normal .docx, .xlsx or .pptx.
The assistant is on by default. You don’t wire up a model, store OpenAI or other provider keys, or ask your users for them.

​
What it can do

The assistant reads the whole document, so it understands requests like “sum up the sales table in one paragraph” or “colour the expenses over budget in red”.

​
How it fits in

  • A side panel (the default), a floating box or your own component, with assistant={{ layout, render }}.
  • Example requests with suggestions, and your own field text with placeholder.
  • From your code: editor.current.assistant.ask("Translate the document into Spanish"), for example from your own button.
  • No review step, with review: false, if you’d rather keep changes straight away.
  • Remove it: assistant={false}.
Every option is in Customize → AI assistant.

​
Privacy and price

Opening, editing and saving happen in the browser. Only when the user asks the assistant for something do the document text and the request travel to Doconda to make the change, with models that run in the EU, and they are not stored. With assistant={false} nothing leaves the browser. Every editor plan includes 2,000 edits a month per organization; after that, each edit costs €0.01 from the balance. A request that changes nothing or fails doesn’t count. See license and domains.

​
Compared with other options

ONLYOFFICE, Collabora Online and Syncfusion also have AI features, but they ask you to connect your own key from a model provider. In Doconda the assistant is included and makes reviewable changes inside the document. See the comparisons with ONLYOFFICE, Collabora and Syncfusion.

​
Frequently asked questions

The assistant edits Word, Excel and PowerPoint. For PDF the editor fills in forms, annotates, comments and organizes pages, without the assistant.
Yes. Changes stay pending until the user accepts them; “Discard” removes them all, and Ctrl/Cmd+Z undoes them too.
With the API, your agent changes the document on your server (edit a Word file with AI). With the assistant, the user asks from the editor and sees the changes before keeping them.
