Summary

Elkar has launched an AI Agent Analyst for Excel and Google Sheets that automates complex spreadsheet tasks such as data analysis, formula writing, error detection, and financial modeling through simple prompts. This tool streamlines workflows for finance professionals and analysts, showcasing the growing integration of AI assistants into everyday productivity software. Its launch highlights the potential for AI to significantly reduce manual work and enhance efficiency in data-driven fields.

Hi! It’s Sarah and Laurent from Elkar, we built an AI Agent Analyst for Excel and Google Sheets. Instead of spending hours on VLOOKUP formulas or manual data cleanup, you just type "analyze Q3 revenue trends and forecast for Q4" and it handles everything. It helps with tasks like writing formulas, creating graphs, building financial models (DCF, Montecarlo simulation, forecasting models...), spotting errors, and even importing and formatting data from PDFs, all from a single prompt. We just launched and we would love your feedback, especially from finance teams and analysts who live in spreadsheets all day! It’s free to try, it’s an Excel add-in or Google Sheets extension.
