How to make an LLM return an Office file

​

The problem in practice

• The model answers with Markdown or a code block, not a .docx you can download.
• If you ask it to write the code that builds the file, you have to run it and debug whatever fails.
• A file that is generated without errors can still open badly: overflowing tables, text that doesn’t fit the slide.
• Each format (Word, PowerPoint, Excel) needs its own library and its own code.

​

The solution with Doconda

from pathlib import Path
from doconda import Doconda

doconda = Doconda()  # reads the key from DOCONDA_API_KEY
markdown = "# Q3 report\n\n## Sales\n\n- Up 12%"  # your LLM's answer
doc = doconda.documents.create(format="pptx", content={"markdown": markdown})
Path("report.pptx").write_bytes(doconda.documents.download(doc["id"], "pptx"))

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises"
import { Doconda } from "@doconda/sdk"

const doconda = new Doconda()
const markdown = "# Q3 report\n\n## Sales\n\n- Up 12%" // your LLM's answer
const doc = await doconda.documents.create({ format: "pptx", content: { markdown } })
await writeFile("report.pptx", await doconda.documents.download(doc.id, "pptx"))

tools = doconda.tools()

const tools = doconda.tools()

What you get back

• The file you asked for; Word, PowerPoint and Excel also come with their PDF.
• status: ready, ready_with_warnings, needs_review or failed (not charged).
• A report (documents.report(id)) with anything worth checking before you send it.
• With tools, your agent gets a short summary (status and links) it can pass on to the user.
