Connect Excel to your AI agent

Microsoft Excel is a powerful spreadsheet application for data analysis, calculations, and visualization, enabling users to organize and process data with formulas, charts, and pivot tables

We set up the connection using your own Excel account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.

    You log in with your own Excel account. We never see your password, and you can revoke access from Excel at any time.

  2. 2

    Set the guardrails

    Read-only by default. You choose which write actions the agent may take, and anything outside that policy gets confirmed with you first.

  3. 3

    We keep it running

    Health checks on every connection, updates handled for you, and we watch the first week of activity to make sure the work lands.

Excel questions, answered.

You sign in with your own Excel account. Permissions are scoped to the minimum the agent needs, the connection is health-checked, and you can revoke access from Excel at any time.
The actions Excel's API allows, the same things a person clicking around the app could do. Connections start read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against the policy you set before the agent takes them.
Connections are priced per tool on top of the base plan. Some are included, some are premium. See pricing for how connection charges work.
Standard tools are ready inside 7 business days of the setup call. We test the connection end to end, walk you through how the agent uses it, and watch the first week of activity.
