Ask HN: Cursor-like AI tool for Excel power users

[Cilvic]

I'm looking for a "real" "Cursor for Excel/Google Sheets" kind of tool.

All my tries with Gemini/MS Copilot where just bad so far.

I have seen some tools for statistical analysis and formula generation in Excel, and they are free of charge

Interesting, can you share a bit more regarding what you tried with Gemini/MS Copilot and how it failed?

If there isn't a "real" tool out there, collecting use cases would help anyone thinking about creating it.
