Re: Disturbing rumour

There was / is a small company in Germany called "Element" - they did an
AI Chatbot integration for RDi:

I had a call with Alex Wiener - one of the founders - last year. I don't
know if they are still in business, but if you want to stay with RDi and
have AI integration, the demo was not bad, back then. 
You can try to reach Alex in LinkedIn - he is fluent in English:

Hi Justin,
We understand AI tooling is import to our users.
GitHub copilot did back port to 4.31 for us. We are waiting on LPEX
interface for RDi to support it.
In the meantime, you can use a standby version of Eclipse and copy and
paste between the releases.
I suspect the same could be said about IBM BOB. I assume it has a
copy/paste feature that utilizes the clipboard.

It was actually the predecessor to Bob.  I can't remember the exact
name.
Yes, MS has a Copilot, and there's also GitHub Copilot.  I was using it
in the generic sense.  Like Google & google, Xerox & xerox, and Kleenex
& kleenex.

Vern, I think Justin was referring to the AI assistant, not "copilot"

as such.

If memory serves I think it's Bob or something like that?

Best regards,

Peter
