AI tools for office and productivity
Short answer
AI assistants for word processing, spreadsheets, email and meetings compared – features, pricing, GDPR.
Office AIs target where most working time goes: email, documents, spreadsheets, scheduling and minutes. They summarise, rewrite, build formulas, extract data and follow up on meetings.
The biggest gains come when the AI sits inside your existing environment and may access your files. That is also the core privacy question: which content leaves the company, and under which contract?
Start with one clearly bounded use case – meeting minutes or proposal drafts – rather than a blanket rollout.

Frequently asked questions
Is an office AI assistant really worth it?
Most of all for repetitive writing and analysis. For creative or high-stakes work, review effort stays high and the time saved is smaller.
Are office AIs GDPR compliant?
Business plans typically offer data processing agreements, EU data residency and no training on your content. Free consumer tiers often do not – each tool profile spells out the difference.
Can AI write Excel formulas?
Yes, one of the most reliable use cases. Describe the result you want and ask for the formula plus an explanation – then verify against a sample dataset.
