Get AI to read and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint files

โ€œI spend hours reformatting documents and spreadsheets.โ€

AI can now open, edit and reformat Office files directly. Keep a copy of the original and ask it to list every change.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

  1. Save a copy of the file.
  2. Tell the AI exactly what to change: format, fix formulas, update numbers, restyle.
  3. Review its list of changes and open the file to check.

Copy this prompt

Edit [file] to [changes]. Work on a copy, keep the original untouched. List every change you made (sheet/page, what changed). Don't change numbers unless I asked. Stop after the edited copy and the change list.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
