What happened
AI digest
On 6 October 2026, The Document Foundation, which is behind LibreOffice, said it "will not add" AI for the foreseeable future. Its latest version ships with no generative AI features in the default installation, and user documents are not uploaded to servers for processing. The organisation called this a "deliberate design position" and stressed that "no AI" is now a software feature. Users can still use AI tools by installing extensions that connect to local AI models.
