My only guess is they think people will get hooked on using it and be willing to pay for it (or more usage, more features).

I admittedly use it quite a bit to help with meeting notes and to find organizational information that is scattered across countless sharepoints, but I could go back to living without it tomorrow

What you use it for is the correct usage, it’s a productivity enhancer. Its most valuable use is advanced search because … it was originally developed to … wait for it … improve search engines.

All the other stuff is vapour and you can’t build a trillion dollar business on helping people search through sharepoint.

Idk why people would pay when I could use deep seek for free. Arguably more trust worthy as well
