Genspark released GenOffice, a free open-source office suite. It edits Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDF, Markdown and HTML files. A built-in AI agent reads, edits and shows changes in real Office formats. A genoffice CLI and agent skill lets Claude Code, Codex and Cursor create and edit .docx, .xlsx and .pptx files locally. Files are byte-preserving and edits arrive as tracked changes. The suite runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Users can bring their own AI provider key. The app includes a local file search reranked by TypeSafe Jev. It supports multiple AI providers including Claude, OpenAI and Gemini.

What changed

What it unlocks

Creating and editing real Office files locally with an AI agent via CLI or coding tools.
