After building free, open-source alternatives to Adobe's Creative Cloud apps using Claude AI, developer Brandon Thomas is now turning to replicas of Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Called WordCraft, GridCraft, and DeckCraft, respectively, the open-source applications are written in Rust with Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5, as the Adobe replicas were, and are available for download under MIT or Apache 2.0 licenses.
