I wanted that same “AI in the doc” feel that I have with my coding IDE: chat in a sidebar, multi-turn conversations, and the AI actually doing things, reading and changing the document, and web searches as necessary to answer questions. I wanted this for Writer but I figured Calc and the others could happen eventually. Exposing the full Writer API to an agent is not an easy problem, especially since it can create very complicated documents, including embedded spreadsheets.
