Loops has been available within teams for a while now. But it now has its own app with a lot more co-creation functionality and I am sure with time more featurels and Copilot (AI) implementation to compete with Notion, ClickUp, Monday, Airtables and other similar apps. Of course also implementation with the other Office 365 apps.

Also check out notion

Notion.so - Powerful Personal Knowledge Base, AI Assistant and much more

I've mentioned many times that I use Notion as a personal knowledge base, like a virtual copy of my brain. It helps me organize and manage team projects, keep track of business tasks, and create databases for project management. Notion isn't meant to replace all other tools, but it's great for...

However if you in the MS ecosystem it was just about time they released something similar. Got tired of everyone lodging requests for an API to implement with Notion.
 
So it's just another glorified project planning / management tool with emoticons
 
Why is this not just the next version of teams?

Microsoft is doing a Google here
 
Ooh aah

I have a perpetual Office license though, am I going to have to sign up for 365 to use this?

Notion is really brilliant as a Personal Knowledge Base. I am not sure if I can trust Microsoft with a stable tool that will be able to replace it.

Loops in MS Teams has been very helpful though. However to keep track of the loops I had to send them to myself. So the way I see this is that the Loop App will at least help me to better keep track of them.

I guess so. I have managed to use it with my personal 365 account. For my organization I need to first enable permissions which is a bit of a shlep. Will do it once I think Loops is something worth implementing orginization wide.

Just frustrated that MS never complete stuff properly.

Lists and Stream for example. Stream they completely mucked up. It is just such a mess and trying to find anything. Same with Sharepoint Sites. Can't they just properly develop and improve on these apps. Argh! I have a feeling Loops is just going to be another half-baked app they add to the list.
 
For a knowledge base we just use a customized one built into glpi.
For project management we use a heavily modded version of kanboard. I've made so many plugins,custom integrations between glpi ,kanboard and nagios that it makes upgrading them to newer version almost impossible

Kanboard serves as a workflow. Completing tasks triggers workflows,scripts and commands.

Just makes life easier that way. Doubt ms loop will be able to do all that

Sure, but me aint got no time for that mate.
 
Tried to sign up for loop today but got added to a mailing list. Pretty keen to see if it can replace notion for me. I find notion a bit tedious

Is this free as part of 365?

Then it’s a huge deal because Notion is **** expensive.

Currently it is part of 365. Dont think it will be extra as the Loop functionalioty was already part of MS. It is only 5% in its current state of what Notion is though.

Notion is not really expensive if you consider that you can also upload documents and files. I store gigabyte of files on it.

Obviosuly with MS365 you are already paying for all that with Sharepoint/OneDrive.

If you still have a Unisa email or similar you can probably get the Plus plan on Notion for free.
