Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook

Of those four, only Outlook really could have used some changes. The other three were perfected 20 years ago. And how do you improve perfection? You can only make it worse.

I really don't want an AI 'summarizing' and changing the meaning of the emails that come in like an automated game of telephone.

Hell, in the majority of cases the summary is longer than the email.

AI is great at giving the appearance of work being done, but it sucks if accuracy matters.
