Getting Started

In the age of artificial intelligence, leveraging advanced generative AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can significantly enhance your data analysis and reporting capabilities in Excel. However, applying these powerful tools to large datasets manually can be cumbersome and inefficient. This blog post will guide you through free methods to use these AI models in bulk within Excel, ensuring comprehensive and accurate data processing.

The Challenge

Applying generative AI models to Excel data can be a time-consuming task, especially when dealing with large datasets. Managing API keys, ensuring data privacy, and handling multiple models simultaneously adds complexity to the process. This requires a solution that simplifies these tasks while ensuring high-speed processing and accuracy.
