A Meta AI director leaves after eight years to launch Ndoc, a one-place alternative to Word, Excel and PowerPoint

TechCrunch· 27 Oct

TechCrunch reports Rohit Patel is leaving Meta after eight years in AI to run Ndoc, which he pitches as an AI-native replacement for Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. It combines a Stage tab for presentations and dashboards, a Narrative tab for the written analysis with citations, and a Model tab for the data and scripts. Colleagues can open a shared document without signing up.

  • Nothing to switch today: it is a start-up with a team of three and no funding, so keep your files where they are.
  • If you produce monthly reports, note the idea and see whether Word, Excel and your AI chatbot can already be kept in one workflow before you try a new tool.
