Meta AI director launches Ndoc to rival Microsoft Office and Google Workspace

rohit patel, former director at meta superintelligence labs, has left the company to launch ndoc, a startup that aims to replace microsoft office and google workspace with an ai-native workspace. ndoc brings together three components - stage, narrative, and model - in one layout, allowing users to upload datasets, perform analysis, and create documents. the platform is built using a mixture of open-source models and costs considerably less to run than alternatives. patel's ambition is to reinvent the file format and make it open-source, allowing developers to build apps that work with it.
