Step 4 — Office plugins
CODEXIS AI right inside Word, Excel and Outlook
No need to switch to your browser. The plugins bring the assistant straight into Microsoft Office apps — it works in a side panel over the document you currently have open.
01Word plugin
The assistant in the Word side panel
The plugin reads the open document and proposes edits directly in the text — again as tracked changes. Ask it to rewrite a paragraph, check for risks or add a missing provision.
Work contract
The contracting parties have agreed that all disputes shall be resolved before the competent court in the Czech Republic. This contract takes effect on the date of signature by both both contracting parties.
I went through the entire contract and proposed 3 changes in track changes mode.
Key edits:
- •clarified the jurisdiction of a court in the Czech Republic in Art. VII,
- •added an arbitration clause to Art. VIII,
- •corrected the wording “both contracting parties” for clarity.
02Excel plugin
Spreadsheets, calculations and data checks in Excel
In Excel the assistant understands your data — it builds formulas, summarises a table into a conclusion or checks the data for consistency. The result is written straight into the sheet.
| A | B | C | D | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Act | Rate | Count | Total |
| 2 | Acceptance and preparation | 3,100 | 1 | 3,100 |
| 3 | Drafting the claim | 3,100 | 1 | 3,100 |
| 4 | Attendance at a hearing | 3,100 | 2 | 6,200 |
| 5 | Consultation with client | 3,100 | 2 | 6,200 |
| 15 | Subtotal | 18,600 |
I calculated the fee for 6 acts of legal service and added 21% VAT.
Summary:
- •rate of CZK 3,100 per act (§ 7 of Decree 177/1996 Coll.),
- •subtotal: CZK 18,600,
- •21% VAT: CZK 3,906,
- •total due: CZK 22,506.
03Outlook plugin
Reply drafts and email summaries in Outlook
In Outlook the assistant summarises a long thread, drafts a to-the-point reply or pulls tasks and deadlines out of an email. It prepares the draft — you just review it and send.

Dear Mr Novák,
thank you for your message. Regarding the complaint of 14 May, we note that we will assess the claim for a replacement of the goods within 30 days of its submission. To speed things up, please send us a copy of the delivery note.

I went through the whole thread and prepared a reply draft in a matter-of-fact tone.
Key points:
- •assessment period of 30 days under § 2169 of the Civil Code,
- •requested a copy of the delivery note,
- •summarised the subject of the complaint in 2 sentences.
Common to all plugins: they work over the document you have open and keep the same quality and citations as the web app. What you learn in one applies to all of them.
