Could you build this?
Partial While basic always-on-top floating web or image windows are simple to create, deep live inter-process communication and document synchronization with active Excel/Word sessions require complex Win32 COM/Office Automation APIs.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a Windows native desktop application using C#/.NET with WPF/WinUI or C++ Win32 APIs. The challenging aspect is reliably binding to running Office instances via Windows COM automation / VSTO to detect dynamic cell and text selections and reflect live edits without performance lag or document locking. A competent Windows desktop developer with deep knowledge of Win32 windowing, desktop capture, and Office interop protocols is required.
