OpenAI Is Building an office productivity suite (opens in new tab)

This seems like a weird detour on the way to replacing all office jobs. Unless I guess they’ll be using it as training data?

Developing the IDE of the future for for the knowledge worker perhaps? Amazon Kiro seems a step in that direction as merge tool between Product Managers and their Engineering teams.

In meantime: Microsoft kills Windsurf acquisition. Competing with your own customers does not end well, AI or not.

They cannot think of an easier way to get lots of user-interaction data.

Why not just build a plugin?

The death spiral begins as OpenAI frantically scrambles for a business model.

Of course they are, because the AGI future that's juuust behind the corner (if you give Sama a couple of $$$trillion that will go poof) is all about an office suite and spreadsheets. Can't wait till they invent a calendar/agenda maker! /s
