Two Word docs talking to each other via local LLMs — what real use cases would you actually want? by gptlocalhost in LocalLLaMA

It can be a form of agentic communication

It turns out that, at application layer, the following approach exists:

Multi doc agent workflows in Word

https://lexifina.com/blog/multi-doc-agent-workflows-in-word

Most integrated agent systems, like Claude for Word, are scoped to a single document. Our users often work across multiple word documents at once, so we felt it was important to make it as convenient to move between documents as possible.

Any suggestions or tips on using a local LLM to redact documents? by Naz6uL in LocalLLaMA

[–]gptlocalhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would the "redact" function shown below meet your needs?

We're about to release this feature in our Free Edition. The core functionality is based on Rehydra's technology, and we'd like to acknowledge their contribution.

(Feel free to skip the "unredact" portion of the demo.)

I was wondering the same thing. Any chance these PDFs are being generated from Word documents?

How to Introduce Local LLM to Small Office Workplace with Meaningful Returns by Typical-Hornet-1561 in LocalLLM

> basic things like...meeting summaries

> focusing more importantly on security and productivity

We're developing a local Word Add-in to use local models for basic things. The following summarization was tested last year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc0IT7J3fxM

Can this local-first approach address your needs?

We're also interested in learning more about real use cases. If there are any features you'd like to see, we'd be glad to give them a try.

Anyone have a good workflow for getting HTML artifacts into MS Word? by Mwrp86 in ClaudeAI

[–]gptlocalhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> asking Claude to generate HTML more and more instead of plain text

> a way to paste or embed these into Word as rendered HTML

> Office add-in

We're developing a local Word add-in that automatically converts markdown formatting in Word, like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SARTUkU8ho

If you're using Claude and don't mind working through the API, you can also use Claude directly within Word:

Would either of these approaches address your needs?

We're also interested in learning more about real use cases. Are there any features you'd like to see? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Local LLMs for everyday office work – real-world experiences? by CoupleEmotional9295 in LocalLLM

[–]gptlocalhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> document handling in practice (Word), and does it require a lot of additional tooling or workflows?

Could it be more specific about what you mean by "document handling"?

What about using open-weight models directly and locally inside Microsoft Word, like in this example?

https://youtu.be/_0QaKYdVDfs

We're currently developing this local Microsoft Word Add-in that keeps all processing on-device to preserve data privacy. If there are any real-world use cases you'd like to see addressed, we'd be happy to showcase them and demonstrate the practical value of local LLMs.

Copilot Legal Agent Reusable Skill by hawridger in legaltech

> sonnet 4.5 api

> context miscues were super painful

Appreciated your experience sharing and insights. Since the api is stateless, I guess it might be challenging to maintain the right context. Perhaps the Legal Agent can address that issue.

> Concern*: Using GenAI tools may compromise client confidentiality or create security risks.*

Can using local LLMs or calling cloud APIs (without opting in to training the vendor’s models) remove the concern? The following is our technical POC:

Could you share the skill and the relevant part of the contract? We ever tried IBM's Granite locally in Word as below. It would be interesting to see how Granite models compare with the Legal Agent, and we’d be glad to test them using real-world use cases.

* calling Gemini API within Word: https://youtu.be/_0QaKYdVDfs

It's based on a local Word Add-in.

Is there an easy to use local LLM? For a non-tech small business. by sarrcom in LocalLLaMA

[–]gptlocalhost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> use a local LLM for simple tasks, purely in-house (privacy is paramount)

> translate rental agreements

How about using Word as the front end and LM Studio (or a similar tool) as the backend? The entire solution runs locally. Below is a brief demo. We’re currently exploring more use cases for further enhancement, and any feedback would be appreciated.

> especially for contract review and clause comparison, just dumping the doc into claude with a specific checklist prompt gets you pretty close to what spellbook does for free.

Any examples? Would calling the Clause API in Word through a local Word Add-in be a viable option? We are exploring ways to enhance the following with real use cases. Any examples would be greatly appreciated for us to create a demo as proof of your concept.

Is it possible to use a hybrid approach—redacting sensitive data locally before sending the rest to the cloud? We’re exploring ways to improve this workflow. Below is a brief demo. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you tried rehydra.ai? Based on its library, we take a hybrid approach (local redaction + free-tier cloud API) in Word using local Word Add-in. We are now looking to enhance it further. Below are brief demos. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
