Looks promising for document editing with your agent

Paper Office releases Python packages that extend python-docx, python-pptx, and OpenPyxl, adding document-wide search, tracked edits, comments, and reversible redlines for Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files. Across 61 tasks, the new packages achieve 92.5% success, outperforming upstream libraries (80.7%) and Anthropic’s Office skills (69.5%). The extensions expose hidden OOXML structure, validate edits, and refuse unsafe operations, improving correctness and feature breadth for agent-first workflows.
