💡 VibeOfficing

Developers already VibeCode — describe intent, AI writes the program. VibeOfficing is the same paradigm for documents.

Say what you need → OfficeDex produces native .docx / .pptx / .xlsx directly.

  • Understands OOXML formats, templates, and layout conventions — the same way coding AI understands languages, frameworks, and design patterns
  • No intermediate HTML. No copy-paste. No manual formatting.
  • The output is the final file.

VibeCoding = VibeOfficing

Coding World Office World What AI Learns
Languages (Python / Go / TS) Formats (OOXML: .docx / .pptx / .xlsx) Syntax
Frameworks (React / Django / Spring) Templates (quarterly reports, pitch decks, competitive analysis) Structure
Design patterns (MVC / Observer) Layout habits (heading hierarchy, color schemes, chart styles) Style conventions

Memory · Format · Agent

OfficeDex is not just "one prompt → one file." It's a document workspace with memory.

  • Memory — Remembers your style and design language across sessions. Your 50th report inherits the same polish as your 1st.
  • Format — Handles OOXML natively. No HTML rendering, no export-and-pray.
  • Agent — Multiple AI agents collaborate: one plans structure, one writes content, one handles formatting.

OfficeDex remembers how your documents look — not just what they say. Digitize your style into OfficeDex — never start from scratch again.

✨ Core Capabilities

1. Conversational generation — write docs like chatting

  • Built-in scenarios (quarterly reports / kickoff slides / competitive analysis)
  • Free-form prompts: control length, tone, target audience
  • Continuous context: keep asking — "now add a page on risk assessment"

2. Live task stream — watch every step

  • Streaming events → see what the AI is thinking and doing
  • Mid-flight interaction: when the AI is unsure, it asks you to decide
  • Cancel any time, restart any time

3. Inline preview — no need to open Office

DOCX preview XLSX preview
Word document Spreadsheet

Powered by docx-preview / pdfjs-dist / xlsx for inline rendering. DOCX / PPTX / XLSX / PDF all preview-able — no Office install required.

4. Configurable from Settings — no CLI required

Settings page

  • Custom LLM: OpenAI / Anthropic / Azure / self-hosted vLLM
  • Custom OfficeCLI binary path (for developers)
  • One-click runtime check & upgrade; works offline with a local binary

🚀 Quick Start

Users: download the installer

Platform Installer Notes
🍎 macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel) OfficeDex-x.y.z-arm64.dmg / -x64.dmg Double-click .dmg → drag to Applications
🪟 Windows 10/11 OfficeDex-Setup-x.y.z.exe Double-click to install. First launch auto-downloads the OfficeCLI runtime.

Latest Release: github.com/officecli/officedex/releases/latest

Important

🍎 macOS users — "OfficeDex.app" cannot be opened?

Because the app is not yet Apple-notarized, Gatekeeper will block the first launch with a "Apple could not verify..." dialog.

Fix: run the following command once in Terminal to strip the quarantine attribute, then you can double-click to open as usual:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OfficeDex.app

If the app lives elsewhere (e.g. ~/Downloads/OfficeDex.app), substitute the actual path. This is a one-time operation and won't recur.

Developers: run from source

# 1. Clone & install
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd officedex
npm install

# 2. Start dev mode (auto-prefetch OfficeCLI binary)
npm run dev

# 3. Type-check / unit tests / E2E
npm run lint
npx vitest run
npm run test:e2e

In dev mode, OfficeDex resolves the CLI in this order:

  1. OFFICECLI_DESKTOP_BINARY env var
  2. officecli on your PATH
  3. Auto-download from GitHub Releases (default source: officecli/officecli)

📦 Build & Release

npm run dist:mac      # macOS (auto-codesigns bundled officecli)
npm run dist:win      # Windows

Build artifacts land in build/bin/. CI (.github/workflows/release.yml) produces .dmg / .zip / .exe and publishes a GitHub Release on every v* tag.

  • Frontend: React 19 + Ant Design 6 + custom Notion design tokens
  • Desktop shell: Wails v2 (Go backend + system WebView frontend) — compact bundle size (build output < 30MB)
  • Generation engine: decoupled officecli subprocess, communicating via JSON-RPC
  • Preview: docx-preview / pdfjs-dist / xlsx inline rendering — no Office install required

🎨 Design Language

OfficeDex fully adopts the Notion design system:

  • Primary color Notion Purple #5645d4
  • Typography DM Serif Display (headings) + Plus Jakarta Sans (body)
  • Shape 8px buttons / 12px cards / 9999px pills
  • Vibe Warm neutrals, deep navy hero bands, pastel feature cards

Full spec: DESIGN.md.


🛠 OfficeCLI Runtime Management

On first launch, OfficeDex pulls the matching officecli binary from GitHub Releases:

  • Default source: officecli/officecli (override via OFFICECLI_RELEASE_REPO)
  • Cache directory: ~/Library/Application Support/OfficeDex/runtime/ (macOS)
  • Asset naming: officecli-{darwin|win32|linux}-{arm64|x64}{.exe}

From Settings → OfficeCLI Runtime you can: check for updates / switch versions / specify a local binary / revert to auto-downloaded.

❓ FAQ

How does OfficeDex relate to OfficeCLI?

OfficeCLI is the underlying command-line tool (a separate Go repo) that handles actual document generation, LLM calls, and file output. OfficeDex is its desktop GUI shell: a React UI wrapped in Wails, talking to the officecli agent-bridge subprocess via JSON-RPC. They release in lockstep: OfficeDex auto-downloads and manages a matching OfficeCLI binary at startup.

Is my data uploaded to the cloud?

By default, fully local:

  • Document generation runs on your machine
  • LLM calls go directly to the provider you configured (OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted) — OfficeDex never proxies them
  • Generated files and document context live in a local workspace (default: ~/Library/Application Support/OfficeDex/workspace; optionally choose another folder in Settings)

If you opt into "Hosted Runtime" (Hosted Runtime = OfficeCLI's official hosted proxy, so you don't have to configure your own LLM key), some calls route through the official proxy — the app displays a clear notice in that case.

Can I use my own OpenAI / Claude API key?

Yes. In Settings → LLM Provider, fill in baseUrl / apiKey / model. Supported:

  • OpenAI official + compatible protocols (DeepSeek / Moonshot / self-hosted vLLM, etc.)
  • Anthropic Claude
  • Azure OpenAI
Which operating systems are supported?
  • macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon and Intel)
  • Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
  • 🚧 Linux — binaries are built, but no official installer yet; run from source via npm run dev
Where are generated files stored?

Default workspace:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/OfficeDex/workspace
  • Windows: %APPDATA%/OfficeDex/workspace

Leave the workspace setting empty to use the default app-data workspace, or choose another folder via Settings → Workspace. After each generation, click "Show in Folder" to jump straight there.

Which document formats are supported?
Input Output Preview
Natural-language prompt .docx / .pptx / .xlsx / .pdf ✅ All inline-previewable
Upload .docx / .pdf / .md as source material Same
Paste / upload images as reference Same
Can I use it offline?

The desktop shell and preview panel are fully offline. Document generation needs an LLM, so:

  • Cloud APIs: requires internet
  • Local models (Ollama / vLLM / LM Studio): fully offline — point baseUrl at e.g. http://localhost:11434/v1

The OfficeCLI runtime also supports a manually specified local path — no downloads required.

How do I report a bug?

In the app, click "Report Issue" in the top-right corner. It automatically collects:

  • App version + platform info
  • Recent OfficeCLI logs (sanitized)
  • Current task state snapshot

Copy the generated markdown and paste it into a GitHub Issue.
