Summary

SquarePact introduces a Word add-in that lets AI agents edit documents natively in Microsoft Word while preserving formatting, with a new feature to connect custom OpenClaw agents. The tool addresses the common problem of formatting loss when pasting AI-generated text into Word documents.

Hi, I am one of the devs of SquarePact. Looking for feedback from people who have document-heavy workflows but want to use their own AI agents. We make a Word add-in, and we just added a feature that brings OpenClaw agents directly into Microsoft Word. We started SquarePact because AI workflows usually break the second you move the output back into a real Word doc. You copy text out of a chat UI, paste it into a contract, and suddenly your numbered lists reset and cross-references break. You end up spending time fixing formatting instead of reviewing the actual content. To fix this we put the agent inside Word. Since Word docs are highly structured rather than just plain text buffers, SquarePact works directly with that native structure. The agent can read the document, propose edits, fix inconsistent terms, and insert clauses without destroying your styles. Every edit shows up as a card you approve or dismiss, nothing applies on its own. With the new feature you can connect your own OpenClaw agent right from the ribbon and route everything through local models if you have privacy constraints. The biggest technical hurdle was Word itself. Lists, styles, and tables live in different parts of the underlying structure, and normal AI edits usually move them around. We ended up building a lot of deterministic document handling around the agent to parse the structure and make bounded edits. We only rely on the model where language judgment is actually needed. I would love feedback from anyone stuck in Word-heavy workflows like contracts or proposals who is tired of fixing formatting after pasting AI text. What would you want the agent to do in a doc that it can't right now?
