No one wants a chatbot “integrated” with excel and office365 crap, it’s clippy 2.0 bullshit.

Replace excel and office stuff with ai model entirely then people will pay attention.

that only works if you can oneshot. but nobody can oneshot.

iterating over work in excel and seeing it update correctly is exactly what people want. If they get it working in MSWord it will pick up even faster.

If the average office worker can get the benefit of AI by installing an add-on into the same office software they have been using since 2000 (the entire professional career of anyone under the age of 45), then they will do so. its also really easy to sell to companies because they dont have to redesign their teams or software stack, or even train people that much. the board can easily agree to budget $20 a head for claude pro

the other thing normies like is they can put in huge legacy spreadsheets and find all the errors
