OpenDocBot is a client-side, provider-agnostic AI assistant for Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) that lets users bring their own API keys or local models like Ollama. It emphasizes privacy, no telemetry, and human-in-the-loop review of AI actions. The project is early-stage with zero GitHub stars but offers a promising approach to integrating LLMs into office workflows without vendor lock-in.

Target audience: Microsoft 365 power users, privacy-conscious professionals, developers and teams wanting self-hosted AI document automation
