Nextcloud Embraces the Future: AI Assistant Rewrites Text with Contextual Mastery

In an era defined by rapidly advancing technology, Nextcloud, the renowned open-source file syncing and sharing software company, has unveiled a significant upgrade to its AI Assistant, ushering in the age of AI-as-a-service.

Context Write: A Literary Revolution

One of the most remarkable features introduced in Assistant 2.0 is Context Write. This groundbreaking tool empowers the AI Assistant to rewrite text in a requested context, opening up a world of possibilities for creative writing and efficient communication.

“Say, you have a nice poem and want to write another in that same particular style,” explains Nextcloud. “By providing the original poem, then new text of what you want to say, the Assistant will then create a masterpiece.”

This capability extends beyond poetry. The Assistant can generate tailored text for various purposes, such as form filling, email compositions, and even technical documentation.

Context Chat: Unlocking Data with Conversational Intelligence

Nextcloud’s Assistant 2.0 also introduces Context Chat, enabling users to engage in natural language conversations with their own data. This feature allows users to retrieve crucial information from emails, calendars, and other data sources effortlessly.

“You’ll be able to ask ‘When do I have my next meeting with my boss?’ (from the Calendar); ‘What tasks did she ask me to work on as high priority this week?’ (from Mail); or ‘Give me a summary of the status of project X’ (Deck + chat perhaps?),” the company explains.

AI-as-a-Service: Collaboration with Industry Leaders

To ensure seamless integration of its AI-driven features, Nextcloud has partnered with leading European hosting companies, including IONOS and OVHcloud. This collaboration provides Nextcloud customers and users with access to advanced AI functionalities without the hassle of hosting AI services themselves.

Future Outlook: A Glimpse into Nextcloud’s Roadmap

Nextcloud Hub 8.0, scheduled for release on April 24th, promises further enhancements. Nextcloud Talk will introduce conversation summaries in Talk rooms, while Nextcloud Mail will implement email “suggested answers” to streamline communication.

Nextcloud’s embrace of AI-as-a-service marks a significant milestone in the company’s mission to empower users with innovative and user-friendly tools. As technology continues to reshape our world, we can expect to witness even more transformative advancements from Nextcloud and other industry leaders in the years to come.
