Office Add-in

The OmniContext Office Add-in brings AI assistance into Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Installation​

The desktop app handles Office Add-in setup automatically:

  1. Open the desktop app
  2. Under Integrations, click Install next to Office Add-in
  3. Start the server from the desktop app
  4. Open Excel, Word, or PowerPoint -- the OmniContext panel appears in the sidebar

The desktop app generates the TLS certificates needed for Office and starts the server with HTTPS enabled.

Usage​

Once installed, an OmniContext panel appears in the sidebar. You can:

  • Excel - Generate formulas, create budgets, analyze data
  • Word - Draft content, format documents, summarize text
  • PowerPoint - Design slides, create presentations, add content

The add-in communicates with your local omx server. It has access to your current document context and can read and modify the active document.

Uninstalling​

To remove the add-in, click Uninstall in the desktop app's Integrations section.

Tips​

  • Use the General workflow preset for the best Office experience
  • The add-in works with the same models and memory as the terminal
  • The status indicator in the desktop app shows whether the add-in is installed and the server is running
