use case
Review Word docs without copy-paste cleanup.
Frenchie extracts DOCX files into Markdown so your agent can review policies, briefs, contracts, and reports from a clean text version.
the problem
Why this is a pain.
A stakeholder sends a Word document and asks for a quick review. Native attachments are inconsistent, and copy-paste loses headings, tables, and links right when those details matter.
DOCX-to-text is not the same as DOCX-to-agent-context. The output needs structure, not just words. Frenchie preserves the parts your agent needs to navigate the document.
the workflow
How Frenchie handles it.
- 1
Install Frenchie with the MCP server and skills in one command.
- 2
Ask your agent to extract the DOCX file and name the review task.
- 3
Frenchie maps headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, and image references into Markdown.
- 4
Your agent reads the Markdown and flags issues, drafts edits, or extracts the sections you asked for.
example
What it looks like in practice.
Your prompt
Extract ./policy/vendor-security.docx with Frenchie. Flag any sections that mention data retention, breach notice, or subcontractors.
Agent response
DOCX extracted — 9 pages, 4.5 credits, Markdown saved to .frenchie/vendor-security/result.md. Sections to review: - 4.2 Data retention: retention period is 'as needed' with no maximum. - 7.1 Breach notice: vendor has 10 business days; your template requires 72 hours. - 9.3 Subcontractors: approval language is notification-only, not consent-based.

tips
Things worth knowing.
- DOCX extraction is 0.5 credit per page.
- Comments and tracked changes are dropped in v1. Export a clean review copy before extracting.
- Prompt for specific review targets. Your agent is better when it knows what to look for.
questions
Common questions.
Does Frenchie support .doc?
No. Save legacy Word files as `.docx` first.
Will it summarize my Word document?
Frenchie does not summarize. It returns Markdown; your agent can summarize after reading it.
Where is the Markdown saved?
In stdio mode, `.frenchie/<filename>/result.md`.
