While I was looking for how to swap out the backend to self-hosted, I noticed that analytics is hardcoded to true. Something to be aware of.
Found this the other day on GitHub and have been meaning to try it out. Guess I'll be setting up the backend and modifying the hardcoded config in the extension.
nice product, congrats!
maybe I would just change the UVP in the repo a bit to understand better why the product is different, besides the open-source part of it.
Good shout. We will add a paid tier at some point, but unsure of the pricing for now. However, the self hosted version will be free forever and there will be a generous free tier too.

What you wrote above is clear and helpful to me - and in any case I find it more useful than "it's free (for now)".
Thank you for suggestion. But in all honesty, f*ck Microsoft.
Trying to trademark copilot is trying to trademark something like ASI or AGI. Co-pilot has been widely used in the aviation industry, and by definition means a person/companion who can help you navigate.
So, I hope their trademark request gets rejected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Personally, I don't think it really works either as a brand. A meeting is not that complicated that you need a "copilot". A stenographer is not a "copilot". This only worked with the hubris and obnoxiousness of tech people who think they are doing more than they are.
Normal people in the workforce know their boring job that this is trying to help automate isn't that complicated or exciting. The analogy with aviation couldn't make less sense for most jobs when trying to automate the boring aspects.
In the USA, being sued is 99% of the punishment, losing the suit does not really matter. Especially when faced with a big corp like this.
You should think about what might get you in legal trouble, whether you might prevail is not relevant to your bottom line unless you are a Fortune 500 yourself.
Unfortunately, by that logic you could conclude that competing with Microsoft at all would be out of question because in theory they could sue you into oblivion with a completely arbitrary lawsuit.
The real world isn't quite that bad, so OP is correct to observe that Microsoft does not in fact have a trademark on Copilot, they have a pending trademark on Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot. Given that their own trademarks (owned by different subsidiaries) include a second word to qualify them and would pose a substantial risk of confusion with each other if Copilot alone were treated as the mark, I think it's reasonable to argue that Microsoft couldn't claim a trademark on Copilot, unqualified, and is unlikely to even try to assert it.
Same. I am pretty relaxed about privacy. But browser extensions are usually a hard pass for me. I grudgingly installed 2. An ad blocker and 1Password. It would take a lot for me to install a third. I usually do not trust browser extensions.
1. Work outside of the browser altogether (i.e., be built as an app for the OS), or
2. Integrate directly into the service it is targeting (i.e., G Suite add-ons, etc.)
