Pilardin now includes AI-powered Excel generation and analysis, available to all users starting today. This feature lets you interact with spreadsheets using natural language—no formulas, macros, or manual chart-building required. Whether you need to create a new workbook from scratch or dig into an existing file, the AI handles the heavy lifting.
To generate an Excel file, simply describe what you want. For example, “Create a monthly budget template with categories for marketing, operations, and R&D, and include a summary row.” The AI builds the structure, adds sample formulas, and formats the sheet. You can then refine it conversationally: “Add a column for actuals and a variance calculation.” The AI updates the workbook in place.
Analysis works the same way. Point Pilardin at an Excel file—whether it’s stored locally or on a network drive—and ask questions like “What were the top five products by revenue last quarter?” or “Show me the trend in customer acquisition cost over the past 12 months.” The AI reads the data, performs the calculations, and returns answers, charts, or a new sheet with the results. It understands common spreadsheet patterns and can handle messy headers, merged cells, and multiple tabs.
This feature integrates with Pilardin’s existing file management and workflow capabilities. You can trigger Excel generation or analysis as part of an automated workflow, or use it interactively in the chat interface. Because Pilardin supports both local and network-based Excel files, teams can work with data where it already lives—no need to upload or duplicate files.
“Our users often live in Excel, but building reports and extracting insights can be time-consuming,” said the Pilardin product team. “This release makes Excel feel like a conversation. It’s practical, friendly, and designed to fit into real work—not replace it.”
The AI-powered Excel features are available now in Pilardin. Try it by asking the AI to create a sample workbook or analyze one of your existing files. As always, we welcome your feedback to help us improve.
