- Works for Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF. The result comes out in the same format, with its PDF. It also takes
.doc,.pptand.xls; the result comes out as.docx,.pptxor.xlsx. filecan be an uploaded file or a document Doconda already made, by its id ("doc_01JAB3…").- Only what you ask for changes; the rest stays identical.
- The same agent that creates does it, with the same effort per
level:
- Word: it opens the file, joins the pieces of text Word splits, changes its XML with a program and checks it against the original. If you ask for tracked changes, every change is marked (inserted or deleted) under “Doconda”; it can also add comments or accept every pending change.
- PowerPoint: it looks at the slides, duplicates, orders or deletes what it needs and changes their text, keeping the design.
- Excel: it opens it with openpyxl, changes what you ask with real formulas and recalculates until no error is left.
- PDF: it changes it in the PDF itself.
- New content copies the document’s formatting: an added clause follows the numbering and look of the existing ones.
.doc,.pptand.xls, or when the agent can’t finish (agent.fallback): it’s edited on the fast path, which turns the request into concrete changes. Each change arrives as anedit.operation_appliedevent with the before and after, and is kept in the report (edits); if it can’t, the document ends infailedwithedit_not_understoodand isn’t charged. In a PDF, if you ask for more than changing text, it’s converted to Word (pdf.converted).- Afterwards it’s reviewed as in Review.
- 50 pages maximum.
Save a hand-edited version
If someone changes the file by hand (in the dashboard editor, or in Word or Excel) and you want to keep it in Doconda, send it as a new version of the document:- Creates a new document with
mode: "manual"andparent_idpointing to the original. The original doesn’t change. - Goes through the same review as everything else (PDF, previews, report), and the report lists which paragraphs, cells or
text were added, changed or removed (
changes). - It must be the same format as the document (Word, Excel or PowerPoint); otherwise,
file_format_mismatch. - No AI, and not charged.
