How to let Claude or Cursor create real Word and PowerPoint files on your computer

Chat assistants can write the content but not save a .docx or .pptx to your disk. One install fixes that — locally, with Pandoc.

Ask Claude Desktop or Cursor for a Word document and you usually get text to copy and paste, then formatting to fix by hand. The assistant has no way to save a real file on your computer. GUI Hub gives it one: a tool that turns what it writes into a proper .docx, .pptx, .odt, EPUB or web page, saved where you say.

Set it up once

1. Download GUI Hub and open it.
2. Click Use with AI → Add to Claude Desktop (or Cursor). Restart the assistant.

Then just ask

• “Turn these meeting notes into a Word document on my Desktop.”
• “Make a six-slide PowerPoint from this outline, one slide per heading.”
• “Write a one-page project brief as a .docx with a table of the budget.”

The assistant writes the content as Markdown and calls the pandoc_write tool. Headings, bold, lists and tables come out as real Word styles; in PowerPoint each ## heading starts a new slide.

Without AI

Open Document Converter → Write a document, paste Markdown, choose Word or PowerPoint and press Create. To convert an existing file instead, use the Convert tab.
