Before everyone hates me and responds with “Fuck AI,” I sometimes find AI to be something that saves me time and like AI. I don’t like my data not being private.
I can run AI locally, but I would like AI to be able to run within a local word processor itself.
So for example, I want to be able to tell AI: “AI, I wrote this 100 page document and there are numerous references to how the earth is flat. I realize that’s not true and need to scan the entire document, remove every example of that, and make it so it still makes sense.”
That’s a very weird example of some things I want to do but real examples are too private to post.
Other examples could include: “AI, I didn’t create any headers in this document. Can you please create headers where appropriate and make them all bold?”
This is the sort of AI stuff that potentially saves me 45 minutes here and there and it doesn’t seems like I can easily do it in open source software. Instead, I have to copy everything to Jan or GPT4ALL and then go from there. I’d rather do this within an open source word processor itself.
Is this possible?
ONLYOFFICE allows you to connect your own local Ollama instance.
Oooh, you said the 愛 word. A million downvotes for you.
LibreOffice is sick with LLM plugins, and at least one FOSS word processor that I looked into as a word alternative advertised a thick AI integration.
I misremembered. The last one I looked into isnt FOSS, but is thick with AI.
You killed a coral reef because you couldn’t figure out how to create headers and footers? No, there’s no AI integrated Open Source word processor.

If your writing is being spied on because you use AI, that’s not a privacy violation because it’s not your writing.
Using AI to assist in writing can be anything from it fixing your spelling mistakes to the AI writing the entire thing from scratch. Dismissing it as “not your writing” simply because an AI was used is quite ignorant thing to say. It’s a bit more nuanced than that.
