An AI-native office suite for macOS and Windows: word processor, spreadsheet, presentations, and PDF — five Electron apps sharing one engine layer, built around AI editing as a first-class workflow rather than a bolted-on chat box.

| App | Product | What it is |
|---|---|---|
apps/docs |
||
| GenOffice Docs | ||
.docx word processor. Byte-preserving round trip: only dirty paragraphs are regenerated (paragraph patch), everything else in the original file is kept byte-for-byte, so opening and saving never breaks layout in Word. Paginated view whose line metrics reproduce the original document's layout, tracked changes, comments, styles, equations, ink. |
||
apps/sheets |
||
| GenOffice Sheets | ||
.xlsx spreadsheet. UI built on the open-source |
||
apps/slides |
||
| GenOffice Slides | ||
.pptx presentations. In-house pptx parse/render/edit engine with masters, charts, cropping, ink, and text shaping (HarfBuzz metrics). |
||
apps/pdf |
||
| GenOffice PDF | ||
| PDF viewer/editor on pdf.js + pdf-lib: annotations, forms, outlines, stamps, signatures, page operations, print. | ||
apps/shell |
||
| GenOffice | ||
| The suite shell: home screen, tabbed hosting of the four editors, auto-update. |
Every app embeds the same AI panel: block-granular AI editing with version snapshots and diffs in docs, a tool-calling agent over workbook/slide/PDF state in the others.
AI providers. The apps sign in to a Genspark account and route model calls through the Genspark service side; no model API key is stored locally.
All pure TypeScript, no Electron dependency, unit-tested (except the UI kit):
packages/docx-engine
— docx parsing → block tree (withdocxIndex
anchors and passthrough), OOXML fragment generation, byte-level paragraph patching.packages/pptx-engine
/packages/pptx-render
— pptx model and rendering.packages/file-parse
— text extraction for AI attachments (office formats, text formats).packages/agent-core
— the AI agent loop and skill composition shared by every app.packages/ai-provider
— provider abstraction and streaming for the model backends.packages/ai-search
— Genspark auth + web/image search tools.packages/i18n
,packages/ui
,packages/project-store
,packages/electron-utils
— shared i18n core, React UI kit, recent-files store, and Electron main-process helpers.
npm install
npm run fixtures # generate test .docx fixtures
npm test # engine + app unit tests (docs/sheets/slides need no display)
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit across every workspace
npm run dev # all four editors + shell against Vite dev servers
npm run dev:docs # a single app (same pattern works per workspace)
npm run dist:mac # package macOS dmg (regenerates third-party notices)
npm run dist:win # package Windows nsis installer
The sheets app additionally needs a Rust toolchain for its xlsx sidecar
(cargo
on PATH); npm run build -w @genoffice/sheets
compiles it automatically.
Local UI/e2e driver scripts (Playwright + Electron, for local acceptance, not committed by default) live in scripts/drivers/.
open docx ─► archive original by hash (never touched)
─► docx-engine parses word/document.xml top-level elements (w:p / w:tbl / …)
─► Block tree, each block anchored by docxIndex + original XML slice
─► TipTap streaming editor (manual + AI editing, dirty tracking)
save ─► dirty blocks → OOXML fragments (referencing existing styles only)
─► splice into original document.xml (untouched blocks keep original bytes)
─► repack zip; all other entries copied byte-for-byte
The same philosophy holds in sheets and slides: the original file is the source of truth, edits are applied as narrow patches, and everything the editor didn't touch survives the round trip untouched.
See SECURITY.md for the process security posture (renderer sandboxing, IPC validation, external-link gating) and the threat models for AI-generated content.
