Patricia works your Excel.
Ask her in Slack. She reads the workbook, updates the cells and tables, and builds the summary, but clearing or deleting data waits for your yes.
@Pati how's Vela pacing against budget this month in the workbook?
Read the pacing workbook. Vela is running a little hot:
- Spent $18,400 of the $24,000 monthly budget with 9 days left
- At the current daily rate it lands near $26,600, roughly 11% over
- Paid search is the driver, up 22% week over week
- Want me to add a projected-overspend column to the pacing table and flag the rows over budget?
Yes, add the column and highlight anything over budget.
Done. New projected-overspend column is in the pacing table with the formula filled down, and every customer over budget is highlighted, Vela included. I built on top of the data and left the raw numbers untouched.
Patricia + Excel
What she does in Excel.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Read the workbook and answer
She pulls the exact range, reads the table, and comes back with the number and what it means, instead of you scrolling columns on a Friday.
Keep tables current
She adds rows and columns, updates values, and fills a table from the latest data, so pacing and status workbooks are never a week behind.
Write the formulas for you
She sets the formula and fills it down the table, works out the projection, and gives you the result, not a cell you have to write yourself.
Build the report workbook
New worksheets, tables, and charts, structured the way your team already reports to customers, and exported to PDF when a customer wants it clean.
Make the numbers readable
Sorts, filters, and highlighting on the table, so what is over budget or off track jumps out of the workbook instead of hiding in it.
Change data carefully
Reading and updating a shared workbook she does on her own, but clearing a range or deleting a worksheet always waits for your explicit yes.

FAQ
Excel questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do in Excel?
She reads and updates ranges and tables, adds rows and columns, writes formulas, builds charts and worksheets, applies sorts and filters, and exports to PDF. More than 50 distinct actions. In practice: she reads your numbers, keeps tables current, and builds the report.
Does she act without asking?
Reading and updating a shared workbook, yes, that is the point. Anything that removes data, like clearing a range or deleting a worksheet, waits for your explicit approval in Slack.
What access does she need?
She connects through Microsoft's official OAuth flow with the permissions you approve, the same way other approved tools do, and only sees the workbooks you connect. Disconnecting takes one click.
Can I keep her scoped to part of our Excel?
Yes. Connect only the workbooks you want her in, and the rest stays untouched. Everything she sends or changes still waits for your yes.
What does the Excel integration cost?
Nothing extra. Every integration is included, on every plan.
