Multilo now opens Microsoft Word (.docx) files directly. The original document loads into our AI-native markdown editor, where every agent — Claim Check, citation cleanup, bibliography, language polish, structure repair — works the same way it does on a fresh draft. When you're done, save back to .docx with formatting intact.
What it ships
- Open any .docx as a first-class document — coursework, thesis chapters, supervisor returns, journal templates, conference submissions. Multilo parses the structure (headings, lists, quotes, tables, footnotes, in-text citations) and renders it as clean markdown you can actually reason about.
- Every agent works on your real document — Claim Check verifies your citations, the bibliography agent reformats references to APA/IEEE/Harvard/MLA/Chicago, the language polish agent rewrites in your voice, the structure agent rebalances sections. They all read and edit the same markdown view.
- Save back to Word, formatting preserved — Ctrl/Cmd-S exports to .docx. Your supervisor never sees markdown — they see a Word document with your edits applied, headings still numbered, footnotes still anchored, citations still threaded.
- No conversion round-trip — you don't import, then export, then re-import. The document stays open as one file the entire session.
How it works
- Open — drag a .docx onto the Explorer pane or use File → Open. Multilo parses the OOXML structure and renders it into the markdown editor.
- Edit with AI — pick any agent from the Library. It reads the open file as context, runs against the markdown, and shows its proposed edits inline. Accept or steer as you would on a fresh draft.
- Save — Ctrl/Cmd-S writes the changes back to the original .docx. Headings, footnotes, tables, citations, and inline formatting are preserved.
Why it matters
Word documents are the de facto format in academic writing, but every other AI tool treats .docx as opaque — they ask you to copy paragraphs into a chat window, then paste the AI's response back manually. That breaks citations, breaks formatting, and breaks the supervisor's track-changes workflow. Multilo's markdown mode is the first IDE that opens .docx as a first-class document, lets project-aware agents read and edit the whole file, and writes back without breaking the structure your reviewers expect.
Use it for

- Reformatting a conference paper's citations to a different style
- Running Claim Check across an entire draft to verify every reference
- Rewriting a methodology section in plainer language without losing the structure
- Translating a paper into another language and saving back as a Word doc
