Developer builds better HTML-to-DOCX converter using AI autoresearch loops
A developer created dom-docx, an open-source HTML-to-DOCX converter, using an AI-driven autoresearch loop to iteratively improve conversion fidelity. The tool scored mid-90% layout fidelity across 37 test cases, outperforming existing libraries that averaged mid-60%. It produces schema-valid OOXML on all cases, though compile speed is slower at ~50ms average.

The autoresearch loop approach is a clever use of AI to automate incremental improvements, but the trade-off in compile speed may limit adoption for high-volume document generation.
