When Microsoft 365 Copilot Cowork needs to create an Excel file, it uses LibreOffice - not Excel.

The actual process seems to be: Claude agent calls openpyxl (Python library) to generate the file. Then, the headless soffice of LibreOffice is used to validate the output. Finally, the user is shown a file in Excel for the web.
It makes perfect sense, given how Anthropic built Cowork and Microsoft just licensed it from them.
