Carbone: A no-code document templating engine for automating invoices, contracts, and reports
By
Guillaume Paquereau
A bagel that needed a few more minutes. And maybe a fact-check.
Summary
Carbone is a document automation platform that allows non-developers to create and manage document templates using familiar tools like Word, Excel, or LibreOffice. By using simple tags for dynamic content (text, colors, images, graphs), business teams can design and update documents like invoices, contracts, and reports without developer involvement. The platform aims to give business teams autonomy over document generation while freeing developers from repetitive template maintenance tasks.

Business teams got their autonomy back. Developers got their afternoons back.
Just open Word, Excel, or LibreOffice, drop in some tags, and the engine handles the rest.
