The chatbot gave you text. You needed a document.

Freelancers surveyed in 2026 still lost around 204 hours a year to admin even though 70% of them used AI for it — and the single biggest weekly drain they named was formatting documents. That sounds absurd until you notice why: drafting faster doesn't remove converting the format, rebuilding the same layout, renaming the version, and finding it again next month.

A chat window can't fix that, because what comes out of a chat window is more text. The work that's left is file-shaped.

• Reads what you drop in — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF are all extracted to text your agent can actually reason about. Upload a contract, a statement, a deck.
• Writes real files back — a proper .docx with headings, lists and tables if you'll still edit it; a .pdf when it's final and you're sending it on; an .xlsx with a styled header row when you'll sort or chart it.
• Converts between them in one click. Word → PDF, PDF → Word, spreadsheet → CSV and back. Pick a file, pick a format; the copy appears next to the original, which stays exactly as it was. Or just ask: “make that a PDF”.
• Any alphabet. Cyrillic, Greek, CJK and accented Latin come out correctly — not as boxes.
• On a schedule, if you want. “Every Friday, turn this week's notes into a client-ready summary” is a standing job, not a chore you remember.

You describe the job in plain words. The Terminal writes the app and puts an icon on your desktop.

Scanned PDFs can't be read. If a PDF is photographs of pages with no text layer, the app will tell you so rather than invent contents — there's no OCR here yet.

Converting carries the text, not the look. A PDF made from your Word file is re-typeset — headings, lists and tables survive; the original fonts, images and exact page layout don't. Every conversion says what it dropped, and the original file is always still there to download as-is.

Translations and summaries are AI-quality, not certified. Excellent for understanding, internal use and first drafts; not for a document you'd stake a contract on without reading it.

Your files are processed by an AI provider in order to be understood, and that provider may retain the text. Don't point an agent at anything you wouldn't paste into a chatbot — the privacy page spells this out.
