Excel AI Assistant

AI for Excel and photo to Excel: upload an .xlsx or an image and let AI write formulas, build charts and analyse your data.

Excel AI Assistant is an AI for Excel that lives in your Chrome side panel. Open it next to any page, load an .xlsx or .xlsm workbook, and ask for what you need in plain language. The assistant reads your data and performs the change in a real spreadsheet editor — no formula syntax to memorise, no macros, no desktop software to install. WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR ▸ AI for Excel formulas — "sum column C and add a totals row", "add a margin column with a real formula", "VLOOKUP the price into column F". You get live, editable formulas instead of hard-coded numbers. ▸ Photo to Excel — attach up to three photos, screenshots or images of a table (a receipt, a printed report, a whiteboard, a PDF screenshot) and the assistant lays the values out as rows and columns you can review and correct before exporting. ▸ Text to spreadsheet — paste raw text, a CSV list or a table from an email and get a structured sheet. ▸ Charts in one sentence — "chart revenue by month" builds a native Excel chart from your data. It travels inside the exported workbook, not as a flat picture. ▸ Clean up and analyse — find and remove duplicates, fill missing values, group and summarise, sort, filter, profile a column, spot trends and outliers, and ask for a written explanation of the result. ▸ Explain and repair — paste a formula and ask what it does, or why it returns #N/A. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the side panel (Alt+Shift+E) or the full-page workspace (Alt+Shift+W). 2. Load an .xlsx or .xlsm file up to 15 MB, or start from an empty sheet. You can also right-click a spreadsheet link on a web page and open it straight in the assistant. 3. Describe the result you want. The assistant plans the steps, edits cells, writes formulas, applies formatting and builds charts. 4. Check the sheet, adjust anything by hand, and export .xlsx with formatting, formulas, merged cells, hyperlinks, notes, images and charts preserved. REAL SPREADSHEETS, NOT SCREENSHOTS Everything happens in a live spreadsheet grid that you control. Cells stay editable, formulas stay readable, and the file you download opens in Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets like any other workbook. Import and export run in memory on our side. YOUR WORKBOOK STAYS YOURS The workbook is processed in your browser; the file itself is not stored on our servers. Only the chat request needed to answer you is sent to the backend, and signing in is optional.
