[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 25 points 3 months ago* (2 children) But what are they using to replace Copilot/Gemini? If the answer is “Nothing…” … they may end up becoming really popular really quickly. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] daannii@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago You had me at "nothing". I do use the add-on Grammarly in Word. I would very much like to still have that. I wonder if they will add support for it. That's the only thing really keeping me using word. Plus right now I'm still a student and the university pays for my subscription. Once I graduate I won't be paying their ridiculous subscription. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 months ago We have not implemented integration of copilot into SharePoint. Without that, another AI makes more sense for my job. permalink fedilink source parent
