Whether we're talking about Claude's ability to build Excel models now or the just-launched CoPilot for Excel, the usual story is that LLMs write words, so numbers are second best. NOT true anymore. The reality is AI models are NOW changing how numbers, models, and business analysis get done. And yes, that includes doing workflows so efficiently that one person can do the work of 3-4 if they are well-organized. In this video, I share the inside scoop on AI in Excel: • Why Claude’s new Excel skills are a leap in productivity • How Copilot compares as an embedded spreadsheet assistant • What ROI tradeoffs to weigh when upgrading to premium plans • Where prompt engineering unlocks board-ready models and dashboards AI for Excel isn’t just faster typing — it’s order-of-magnitude leverage for teams who work with numbers. It's 1000x gains.
