ONLYOFFICE v9 Embraces AI
Like nearly all office suites on the market (except LibreOffice), ONLYOFFICE has decided to go the AI route.
It should come as no surprise that nearly every office suite has introduced AI in some form or another, including ones that run on the open source Linux OS. ONLYOFFICE v9 follows the trend with AI-powered virtual assistants.
The AI enhancements in ONLYOFFICE v9 include automatic text extraction for PDF files, smart automation for macros, smart formulas for complex data analysis in spreadsheets, macro creation based on prompts, and conversion of VBA macros to ONLYOFFICE macros.
AI isn't the only addition to ONLYOFFICE 9.0, as you'll find a pair of brand new themes, Modern Light and Modern Dark, that give the user interface some serious polish (note: the classic themes are still available to use). There's also a redesigned Start page, a new Diagram Viewer, support for new file formats (such as Markdown, OpenDocument graphic files, and Excel binary workbook files), drag-and-drop recording of PDF pages, asynchronous calculations in the spreadsheet editor, ability to enable/disable spelling language detection in Linux, and much more. Of course, there's also the usual bug fixes and performance enhancements.
You can download ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors (which include all of these new features) and find out more from the official ONLYOFFICE site.
