Excel + AI for Everyone: From the Grid to the Web with Sheetcast and COPILOTALT()

Description:

In recent months, the way we work with Excel has been revolutionized like never before. With the introduction of the COPILOT() function and Excel’s Agent Mode, AI integration is expanding the range of problems Excel can solve and dramatically reducing the time needed to build powerful solutions. Sheetcast takes this evolution even further by offering free access to the COPILOTALT() function for both the Excel developer and the end users, and by enabling the publication of AI-powered solutions on the web, accessible to anyone with the appropriate credentials. This session explores how AI can assist with data analysis in scenarios where the other 500+ Excel functions combined fall short. You’ll also discover how Sheetcast enhances usability by allowing secure, user-friendly access for internal and external users, while centralizing data, protecting formulas and prompts, and enabling integration with Power Query and other external tools.
