Word and Excel get vibe coding features for everyday life

The so-called vibe coding, i.e. the AI support in programming, is now also receiving its own form in Microsoft’s office applications. Users of Word and Excel in particular should benefit clearly from this.

This means that, similar to the so -called vibe coding, users receive extensive results in everyday office life through simple prompt.

The new agent fashion is building on the previous copilot functions in Word and Excel, but continues significantly. While the AI has so far mainly helped, rewritten or summarized, it now takes over entire work processes. In Excel, this means, for example, that the AI disassembles complicated calculations into individual steps, visibly performs and works with OpenAis model GPT-5. Tables should remain checkable, updated and understandable. In initial tests, the function achieved an accuracy of 57.2 percent – more than other AI tools, albeit below the human average of 71.3 percent.

Interactive process

In Word, Agent Mode transforms the writing into an interactive process. Instead of stubborn text input, a kind of dialogue arises: Copilot suggests formulations, asks about the lack of details and provides evaluations in the background, for example in the case of monthly reports. At the same time, the Office Agent starts in the copilot chat. This tool relies on models from Anthropic and can generate complete PowerPoint presentations or Word documents on the call.

Unlike many other AI offers, the Office Agent should deliver structured foil sets, including a live preview and integrated web research. At the start, the new agents for subscribers to the “Microsoft 365 Copilot Frontier” program as well as for users of Microsoft 365 staff and family in the USA are available-initially only in the web versions of Word and Excel, the desktop integration is to follow.
