Meta AI director Rohit Patel leaves to take on Microsoft Office and Google Workspace

TechCrunch reports that Rohit Patel, a former director at Meta Superintelligence Labs, has left Meta after eight years to launch Ndoc, an AI-native workspace pitched as a replacement for Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. Ndoc combines a Stage tab for presentations and dashboards, a Narrative tab for analyses and citations, and a Model tab housing datasets and Python scripts, and is built on a mixture of open source models. Patel plans to open-source the ".ndoc.html" export format, and Ndoc is now running an enterprise pilot with a limited alpha and a beta planned for the coming weeks.
