alt Hacker NewsWhat kind of harness does one use for these?
They say it can create office documents (if I understand correctly), but how does it do that?
What's the thing one needs to plug this into to say "give me a slide deck with last quarter's sales figures"?

According to their Twitter video, it might be this thing?

Hello, apologies for the self-promotion but I’m building a tool called Radix which is a knowledge work harness. It’s similar to Feather (that you linked) but imho a stronger tool. Please email or message me if you would like to give it a try for free instead of paying the subscription price.
I don't do these kind of tasks but I imagine that in the 'pi' harness I could just instruct the model to use command line pdf/latex manipulation tools to create all manner of document outputs ...
I fixed up deer flow: https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow
What I did was create docker containers with pandoc, compilers (rust, go, python, javascript) and it can create all manner of reports.
You usually have either a harness that mainly works with a code interpreter that is able to execute Python, and does all the necessary data extraction from sources + the creation of office documents via your typical libraries, or you additionally enhance it with specific tools for each major office file format.
