The ChatGPT desktop app bundles a full copy of LibreOffice

Looks like it’s some kind of dependency… seems very odd though, why is this included? Are they using it to handle .docx, .xlsx, etc files? I remember being tempted to do that once years ago when I ran into one of those Really Hard Problems that would take weeks to solve. I spent the weeks instead

I think they’re used so agents can make changes to Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. It seems to be using the headless version of LibreOffice.

I didn’t think LibreOffice supported the latest versions of office formats though, so wouldnt it potentially break existing files if used?
