Huh, I was googling for this exact tool a couple of weeks ago.

Is there anything you can share - about how you're approaching it, and your progress? Need any beta testers? :)

Yes I am really interested in good use-cases, send me an e-mail at kaspermarstal@gmail.com! It’s called Cellm, implemented with ExcelDna and is fully functional for Anthropic models. Currently preparing the repo for public release and writing some docs.

What’s your use case?

I work in a scientific field, and I was analysing a large amount of data related to clinical trials. Part of the work required categorising the data fields, and while traditional Excel approaches were helpful, ultimately I had grind through a large number of fields, manually sorting/categorising and Googling details for about half of the entries.

I wondered whether an LLM could be helpful for some of the steps I was taking manually (hence a quick exploration for such a tool) but there didn't seem to be an easy way to test this. (I could have pulled it into Python and tried to automate it that way, but I didn't time/energy on that occasion.)

(Sorry for the slow reply - travel.)

Thanks for sharing! If you want to try it out, it will be published to github.com/kaspermarstal/cellm in the coming weeks. Will reply to this thread when it is live.
