The Office Quartet

4ort-docs, 4ort-sheets, and 4ort-slides: documents, spreadsheets, and slide decks built agent-first, where agents and humans work the same data.

What It Is

The Office Quartet is the lab's answer to the office suite. 4ort-docs, 4ort-sheets, and 4ort-slides are all built agent-first rather than retrofitted for automation. Each service ships as four surfaces at once: a REST API, an MCP toolset, a human web editor, and an auto-login panel inside Mission Control.

The point is that agents and humans share the same data instead of trading exports. Agents exchange markdown, CSV, and decks programmatically through the APIs and MCP tools, while humans get rich editors sitting on exactly the same documents, with no sync step and no "download as" detour between the two worlds.

Slides goes a step further: it wraps an AI deck engine with per-slide AI editing, so "fix slide 3" round-trips in ~3 seconds. Tell the agent what's wrong with a slide and the corrected deck is back before you've finished reading the next one.
