Automate the generation of documents from a universal templating engine. Create templates with your favourite text editor, and add dynamic content with Carbone tags (text, colours, images, graphs). Anybody can design beautiful documents, not only developers.
This is the 2nd launch from Carbone. View more
Carbone Skill for AI
Launched this week
Carbone is a universal document-generation engine: feed it a template file and JSON file, and it produces pixel-perfect documents at scale. The Carbone Skill teaches AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT the entire Carbone templating language. Describe what you want in plain language and your AI writes correct Carbone syntax, builds templates in DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML or PDF, and validates tags before you render automatically at scale.

Nice, this is game changer for me, I'll test it right now! Can I give a file to re-create it in another format?
Carbone
Bonjour @alexy_carlier1 ! Glad to see you there!
And yes, exactly. Give the AI your existing file and ask it to recreate the template in another format. It rebuilds the structure and the Carbone tags in the target format (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, HTML, and so on). Just keep in mind each format has its own strengths, so the layout may adapt a little to fit the new one.
Let me know how the test goes, curious to hear what you build! ;)

Love the practical approach here. Teaching AI the actual templating language, rather than relying on guesswork, feels much more reliable for production workflows.

Merci @marianna_tymchuk!! That's exactly the thinking, without the Skill, AI tends to invent syntax, or borrow it from other templating libraries or programming language, so you get tags that look plausible but the syntax is not supported and rejected by Carbone. The Skill grounds it in Carbone's real documentation, plus production template examples, patterns and logic: so you get correct, elegant tags every time ✅.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Carbone was born from a simple frustration: why do developers have to get involved every time a business needs to tweak a document? An invoice layout, a new field on a contract, a translated report — small changes that would eat up hours of dev time.
So we built Carbone around one idea: anyone should be able to design and own their document templates. No code required. Just open Word, Excel, or LibreOffice, drop in some tags, and the engine handles the rest. Business teams got their autonomy back. Developers got their afternoons back.
That was already a big step. But there was still a learning curve — the templating syntax, the JSON structure, the API calls. Nothing insurmountable, but still a door that not everyone would push open.
Today, that door is wide open.
With our new AI Skill, you don't need to know Carbone's syntax. You don't need to think about JSON. You just describe what you want — and the AI figures out the rest, feeds Carbone, and hands you back a polished document in seconds.
From "no code required" to "no friction at all". That's the journey we've been on since day one.
We can't wait to see what you build with it. 🚀🇫🇷

I am very happy to see that AI-assisted template design is becoming a reality after two years of research and internal experimentation in a field where everything changes every two months!
The Skill seems to address the needs of many customers who want to keep their own AI while giving it additional capabilities.
We will closely monitor user feedback to determine whether we should also launch our own sovereign AI solution that can be installed On-Premise in the coming months. We have many things to unveil in this area this year!
