Hi everyone! This week I worked on a challenge that taught me an important lesson about AI. The goal was simple: generate DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files while strictly preserving our company’s existing templates. After a lot of testing, I realized the hard part wasn’t document generation. It was template fidelity. AI is great at creating content, but if you need consistent, brand-compliant outputs, the real value comes from the process around the model—not the model itself. I ended up building a solution that extracts and reuses template characteristics to generate new documents while preserving layouts, styles, and branding. Now it’s open source. Link in the comments! Curious to know if others have run into the same challenge when using AI for document generation. submitted by /u/Ambitious-Pie-7827
