4 months ago, I released an extension for LibreOfffice Writer that adds an AI copilot to its sidebar. Did a Show HN at the time but got no interest T_T https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46233776 I’ve added several major features since then, so I figured it’s worth doing another one.

Features added:

- The extension connects to a free online LLM by default, with no signup needed. All you need to do is install the extension and you’re ready to go.

- Can connect to a wide range of online models if you bring your API key (Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Mistral, Groq, etc)

- Can connect to a self-hosted Ollama instance; I’ve also added the option to override the URL so feel free to test it out with other tools.

- You can rephrase text you’ve selected (initially just added the output at the bottom of the document)

I’ve also amassed over 10k installs in the meantime, which is nice.

There’s still a ton of stuff I could add. But I don’t have much time in the evenings, and I’m not sure what’s the next most important thing to do. Any feedback/suggestions would be much appreciated!
