Show HN: Open-source AI agent for spreadsheets 7 months ago
OP here. a few clarifications based on questions we usually get:
What do you mean by “agent”? Not an autonomous bot. It’s a constrained system that operates over spreadsheet primitives (tables, ranges, dependencies) with explicit actions.
How is this different from Copilot / formula generation? Most tools generate formulas or text and stop there. This operates on sheet structure directly — extraction, normalization, multi-sheet modeling — and leaves behind editable, inspectable spreadsheets rather than opaque outputs.
Why not Excel + Python? That works well for some workflows, but many users want everything to stay inside the spreadsheet execution model where recalculation, auditing, and collaboration already live.
