If Microsoft Word users are a potential target audience for Ollama, what use cases would you expect? We recently released the following quick demo based on Ollama, and we are curious about what the next use case could be from this community's perspective. We’d greatly appreciate any advice.

Is it possible to work like coding in code editor? such as in VSCode:

  • generate auto-completion automatically while writing in Word according to the context
  • Tab to accept the whole text
  • Ctrl + DownArrow to accept current paragraph
  • Ctrl + RightArrow to accept current word or sentence. if sentence, it is better to allow users to customize the sentence delimiter

It's a good idea to follow the best practices of coding. Unfortunately, the functions of Word Add-in are probably limited to its APIs. Nevertheless, we'd keep the idea in mind and see whether it is possible in the future.
