Why doesn't a Cursor for Word exist?

At this point there should be a tool that helps you easily format and style documents. I know that you can generate PDFs and DOCX files with Claude and Codex but it's still not as user friendly as typing into a document editor and having your document get auto-formatted in there and show the changes in a diff view so that you can easily decide which changes you like. Also for text refinements right now if you use any AI tool to assist with writing it just rewrites stuff without having an easy way of visualizing the changes.

痛点：Word/DOCX 文档缺少像 Cursor 那样的 AI 编辑体验：无法以 diff/修订视图逐条接受或拒绝 AI 的改写与格式化建议，用户只能被动接受整段重写。

目标用户：重度使用 Word 撰写长文档的知识工作者：律师、咨询顾问、学术研究者、合同与标书撰写者、企业文档团队。

变现：Word/Google Docs 插件 + 网页版的订阅制（个人 $12–20/月，团队按席位 $30+/月）；面向法律/咨询行业做垂直版高价授权（$50–100/席位/月）。

MVP：做一个 Word 插件或网页编辑器：用 docx.js/mammoth 解析 DOCX，调用 LLM 生成改写建议，以 Word 原生修订痕迹（tracked changes）或并排 diff 卡片逐条渲染，支持逐条 Accept/Reject、保留原始格式与样式；2 周内可完成仅支持 .docx 的英文/中文段落级改写 MVP。

竞品：Microsoft Copilot in Word、Grammarly、Google Docs Gemini、Notion AI、Spellbook (法律合同 Word 插件)、Lex、Harvey

摘要：HN 用户发帖质疑为什么没有「Word 版 Cursor」，核心诉求是 AI 改文档时能以 diff/修订视图呈现并逐条接受或拒绝，而不是整段被重写。帖子仅 5 分 6 评论，热度极低，没有出现任何付费意愿或收入数据，属于单点个人设想。但需求描述具体、目标用户明确（法律/咨询等重度文档人群），独立开发者用 DOCX 解析 + LLM + 修订痕迹可在两周内做出 MVP，只是要正面面对 Copilot、Spellbook 等已有竞品。
