v0.4.0NewJun 28, 2026
Multi-step agent mode
Agent now plans, executes, and verifies complex tasks across multiple tool calls with a visible progress trail.
AI-powered Excel editor for the web
ai2excel is a browser-based AI agent for Excel spreadsheets. Upload your .xlsx, .xls, or .csv files and use natural language to create formulas, build pivot tables, generate charts, clean messy data exports, apply conditional formatting, and automate repetitive spreadsheet tasks — without installing Microsoft Office or purchasing a Microsoft 365 subscription.
Unlike formula generators that only output text you must copy and paste, ai2excel renders your full workbook in the browser and executes changes directly on the live file. Every AI action includes a preview diff so you can approve or reject changes before they are applied. A full undo and redo stack protects your data throughout the session.
ai2excel supports multi-sheet workbooks, number formatting, sort and filter operations, find and replace, chart creation, and data transformation workflows. Pro plans unlock advanced features including pivot tables and priority access to the latest large language models. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and your spreadsheet data is never used to train AI models.
Whether you are a financial analyst building revenue models, an operations manager cleaning vendor exports, a startup founder tracking KPIs, or a student learning Excel functions, ai2excel turns plain-English instructions into executed spreadsheet operations in seconds.
Excel Copilot for the web — no Office license required
Upload your Excel.
Chat. Done.
ai2excel renders your .xlsx files in the browser and lets an AI agent execute formulas, charts, pivots, and data cleaning — directly on your workbook.

Agent modes
One agent, three personalities
Switch modes to match how you work — deep analysis, guided learning, or rapid automation.
Analyst mode
Optimizes for accuracy and insight. Summarizes ranges, builds pivot tables, flags anomalies, and explains every formula it writes. Best for finance, ops, and reporting workflows.
- Pivot tables & charts
- Statistical summaries
- Anomaly detection
Deep dive
What makes ai2excel different
Three pillars that separate an agent from a chatbot with spreadsheet suggestions.
Agent execution
Plans, previews, and executes — not just suggests
The ai2excel agent reads your workbook context, builds a multi-step plan, shows affected cells before applying, and logs every tool call with plain-English explanations.
- Named tool invocations: set_range, create_pivot, conditional_format
- Preview diff before apply with approve / reject flow
- Full undo/redo shared with manual edits
Agent plan
- 1.Read columns C (Revenue) and D (Cost)
- 2.Insert formula =(C-D)/C in E2:E11
- 3.Apply conditional format on negative values
Executing set_range(E2:E11)…
Excel fidelity
Your formulas, formats, and sheets — preserved
Built on Univer and SheetJS, ai2excel renders real Excel workbooks in the browser. Merged cells, number formats, multiple sheets, and formula dependencies survive the round trip.
- .xlsx, .xls, and .csv with sheet-level parsing
- Formula bar shows live expressions, not just values
- Export back to Excel desktop with 95%+ compatibility target

Security & trust
Your data stays yours.
Enterprise-grade controls without enterprise complexity. Built for analysts who can't afford to lose a single cell.
Encrypted in transit
All uploads and API calls use TLS 1.3. Your workbook data is encrypted between your browser and our servers.
No training on your data
Your spreadsheets are never used to train AI models. Session data is ephemeral and deleted when you close the tab.
Undo everything
Every agent action — formulas, formatting, pivots — lands on a shared undo stack. Roll back any change instantly.

SOC 2 roadmapGDPR compliantZero data retention option
Security
Enterprise-grade security.
From day one.
Your spreadsheets contain sensitive business data. We treat security as a product feature — not an afterthought.
End-to-end encryption
All uploads and API traffic use TLS 1.3 in transit. Workbooks at rest are encrypted with AES-256. Keys are rotated automatically and never stored alongside your data.
- TLS 1.3 in transit
- AES-256 at rest
- Automatic key rotation
No model training
Your spreadsheets are never used to train AI models — period. Session data is processed ephemerally for your request and is not retained for model improvement.
- Zero training data policy
- Ephemeral processing
- Opt-out by design
Data retention controls
Anonymous sessions auto-delete after 24 hours. Pro users control retention with cloud save. Enterprise tiers get custom retention policies and zero-retention options.
- 24h anonymous default
- User-controlled cloud save
- Zero-retention option
SOC 2 path
We are on a structured path to SOC 2 Type II certification (Phase 3). Controls cover access management, change management, incident response, and vendor risk.
- SOC 2 Type II target
- Annual penetration tests
- Vendor risk assessments
Infrastructure isolation
Each user session runs in an isolated processing context. File parsing is sandboxed with strict size limits. VBA macros are never executed — only analyzed when requested.
- Session isolation
- Sandboxed parsing
- No macro execution
Auditable operations
Every agent action is a named, logged tool invocation — set_range, create_pivot, conditional_format. Full audit trail for compliance and debugging.
- Named tool calls
- Full audit log
- GDPR compliant

Glossary
Excel & AI terms, explained
A quick reference for spreadsheet and AI concepts you will encounter when working with ai2excel.
- Pivot table
- A summary table that aggregates rows of data by categories — for example, total revenue grouped by region and product line — without writing formulas manually.
- VLOOKUP
- A classic Excel function that looks up a value in the leftmost column of a table and returns a matching value from another column in the same row.
- INDEX/MATCH
- A flexible lookup combination: MATCH finds a row or column position, and INDEX returns the value at that position. Often preferred over VLOOKUP for large tables.
- Conditional formatting
- Rules that automatically change cell appearance — color, bold, icons — based on values or formulas, useful for highlighting exceptions and thresholds.
- Agent
- An AI system that plans and executes multi-step tasks on your behalf. In ai2excel, the agent reads your workbook and applies changes through structured tools.
- Tool call
- A structured action the AI agent invokes — such as set_cell, insert_formula, or create_chart — rather than outputting free-form text you must copy manually.
- Formula bar
- The input area above the spreadsheet grid where you view and edit the formula or value of the currently selected cell.
- Workbook
- An Excel file (.xlsx or .xls) containing one or more worksheets (tabs), each with its own grid of cells, formulas, and formatting.
- Data cleaning
- The process of fixing messy exports — trimming whitespace, removing duplicates, standardizing dates, and splitting combined columns — before analysis.
- Diff preview
- A before-and-after view of cells the agent proposes to change, letting you approve or reject modifications before they are applied.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
ai2excel supports .xlsx (Excel 2007+) and .xls (legacy Excel) files, plus .csv imports. You can export back to .xlsx with formulas, formatting, and multiple sheets preserved.
