Did any paying customers of Proton asked for AI? Like one?

I pay for proton, not sure if I get the AI but I probably wouldnโ€™t use it anyway. Would rather they improve the spreadsheet thing so I can get off Google for good

Everyone gets access to the base service and you pay separately for the advanced plan which is not included in their other service packages. I swear some people live to complain

What arey you talking about? Do you still belive in free launches? There is an oprtunity cost to everything. My paid plan included a resource-havy, going-nowhere technology that nobody was asking for, while the same resources could be spent on things that people ask for - like better galery or better Linux support.

I don't want my postmen to clean my windows even if he do it for free (for now). I Justyna wonde who paid for his cleaning supplies whole he's malebag is full of holes.
