How to Give Your AI Agent an Office Suite with Mila + OpenClaw

NoLeetcode — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:35:59 +0000

Most AI agents can browse the web, write code, and send messages. But ask one to create a spreadsheet, write a document, or build a slide deck? That's where things get awkward.

Mila fixes this. It's an office suite built from the ground up for programmatic access — with a REST API and an MCP server that gives AI agents 23 tools for working with documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.

What is Mila?

Mila is a collaborative platform with three document types:

Documents — Rich text with HTML content
Spreadsheets — Tabs, formulas, cell formatting, A1 notation
Slides — Free-form HTML on a 960×540 canvas with speaker notes and themes

Everything is accessible through a clean REST API at api.mila.gg/v1. But the real magic for AI agents is the MCP server.

The MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools. Mila's MCP server at mcp.mila.gg exposes 23 tools:

create_document, get_document, update_document, delete_document
create_sheet, get_sheet_tab, append_rows
create_slide_presentation, append_slides
And more for listing, updating, and managing all three document types

Setting up with Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mila": {
      "url": "https://mcp.mila.gg",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Now Claude can create and edit office documents during your conversations.

Using with OpenClaw

If you use OpenClaw, you can install the Mila skill directly:

npx clawhub@latest install mila

This gives your OpenClaw agent full access to Mila's capabilities. Your agent can:

Generate reports as spreadsheets
Draft documents from conversation context
Build slide decks for presentations
Track data in structured sheets

Quick Example: Creating a Spreadsheet

Here's what the API looks like in practice:

curl -X POST https://api.mila.gg/v1/sheets \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "Q2 Report"}'

Then append rows:

curl -X POST https://api.mila.gg/v1/sheets/{id}/tabs/{tabId}/rows \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"rows": [["Month", "Revenue"], ["April", "12000"], ["May", "15000"]]}'

Real-Time Collaboration

Documents support real-time collaboration — multiple users and agents can work on the same file simultaneously. This means your AI agent can build a document while you review and edit it live.

Getting Started

Create an account at mila.gg
Generate an API key at mila.gg/api-keys
Connect via MCP or REST API

Why We Built Mila: An AI-Native Office Suite from Scratch

NoLeetcode — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 12:05:37 +0000

Every productivity tool today is racing to add AI. Google bolted Gemini onto Docs. Microsoft crammed Copilot into Office. But here's the thing — when you add AI to a tool designed in the 1990s, you get a 1990s tool with an AI chatbot sidebar.

We asked ourselves: what if you built an office suite from scratch, with AI as a core primitive?

That's Mila.

The Problem with "AI + Legacy"

Microsoft Word was designed for printing documents. Google Docs was designed for collaborative text editing. Neither was designed for a world where AI can draft, research, analyze, and present information.

When these tools add AI, it feels bolted on — a sidebar chat that generates text you then copy-paste into the document. There's no deep integration. No AI-native operations. No intelligence in the data layer itself.

What We Built

Mila is an AI-native office suite with three core products:

Mila Docs

A modern word processor where AI isn't a sidebar — it's woven into the editing experience. Our Deep Research feature pulls from 20x more sources than ChatGPT and inserts cited paragraphs directly into your document. Every AI suggestion is a proper document operation with Accept/Decline controls, not a chat bubble.

Mila Sheets

Spreadsheets with AI-powered formulas and data analysis. Create budgets, trackers, and dashboards using natural language. The AI understands your data structure and suggests formulas that actually work with your specific sheet.

Mila Slides

Presentation creation with AI assistance for content, layout, and design. Generate entire decks from a prompt, or build slide-by-slide with intelligent suggestions.

Technical Decisions That Matter

CRDT-based architecture — We built on CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for real-time collaboration. This gives us reliable undo, version control, and offline support that's architecturally sound, not hacked onto a centralized model.

Multi-model AI routing — We don't use one AI model for everything. Mila routes to Claude, Gemini, or GPT models depending on the task. Summarization might use one model while code generation uses another. This means better results across the board.

API and MCP support — Mila has a full REST API (https://api.mila.gg/v1) and an MCP endpoint (https://mcp.mila.gg) for programmatic access. You can build workflows, integrations, and automations on top of your documents.

Who's Using It

We've grown to 74,000+ users across 50+ countries. We're particularly popular in Latin America and emerging markets — we offer geo-tiered pricing because we believe powerful tools shouldn't be locked behind first-world pricing.

Students writing theses. Consultants building pitch decks. Authors drafting books. Teams collaborating on reports. The use cases are broad because documents, spreadsheets, and presentations are universal.

Try It

Mila has a free tier. You can start at mila.gg — no credit card required.

If you're a developer, check out our API docs or connect via MCP at https://mcp.mila.gg.

We'd love your feedback. What would you want from an AI-native office suite?

Built by a small team that believes the next generation of productivity tools should be intelligent by design, not by afterthought.

Building an AI-Native Office Suite: Why We Built Mila From Scratch

NoLeetcode — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:03:09 +0000

Every major productivity tool today — Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion — was designed before large language models existed. AI was bolted on after the fact, as a sidebar or a plugin. We asked ourselves: what would an office suite look like if AI was a first-class primitive from day one?

That question led us to build Mila.

The Problem with Bolt-On AI

When you add AI to an existing editor, you're constrained by the original architecture. The document model wasn't designed for AI operations. Collaboration protocols don't account for AI-generated content. The result is awkward: AI lives in a chat window next to your document, disconnected from the actual editing experience.

What We Built

Mila is an AI-native office suite with three core products:

Mila Docs

A word processor where AI is deeply integrated into the document editing flow. Our Deep Research feature pulls from 20x more sources than ChatGPT and inserts cited paragraphs directly into your document — not in a sidebar, but as proper document operations with Accept/Decline controls.

Mila Sheets

Spreadsheets with AI-powered formulas and data analysis. Create budgets, trackers, and dashboards using natural language. The AI understands your spreadsheet context and suggests formulas that actually work with your data.

Mila Slides

Presentation builder with AI assistance for content, layout, and design. Generate entire decks from a prompt, or work slide-by-slide with intelligent suggestions.

Technical Decisions That Mattered

CRDT-based architecture: We chose CRDTs (Conflict-free Replicated Data Types) for our collaboration layer. This gives us reliable real-time collaboration with proper undo/redo and version control — something that becomes critical when AI is making edits alongside human users.

Multi-model AI routing: Different tasks call for different models. We route between Claude, Gemini, and GPT models depending on the task — summarization might go to one model, code generation to another. This gives users better results without them having to think about which AI to use.

API and MCP support: Everything in Mila is accessible via API. We also ship an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint at mcp.mila.gg, so AI agents can read and write Mila documents programmatically.

Where We Are

We've grown to 74,000+ users across 50+ countries. We offer geo-tiered pricing because we believe powerful tools shouldn't be gated by geography — a student in Colombia should have access to the same AI writing tools as someone in San Francisco.

Free tier available. Pro plans start at $20/month.

Is too Easy to Cheat Leetcode Interviews...

NoLeetcode — Sat, 05 Oct 2024 23:15:33 +0000

Oh yes, the clickbaity title... Well, not that clickbaity. I was working at my day job, sharing my screen, and I felt really odd showing the ChatGPT app + personal notes while my boss and coworkers were watching.

So, I jumped into building this app that would hide notes when I was sharing my screen—so simple.

Oh well, that was both the best and worst idea I've ever had.

Fast forward: One of my buddies asked me to share a build with him.

After a couple of weeks, I asked how he was using it. Well, turns out, he was cheating with the app.

So, I changed the copy, and suddenly I started receiving views and views and views on my app -- So now I dont know what to do created something good but used for some gray area.

This was after changing the copy of the website:

Is there a better copy I can do for the website?
