good news for my finance bros. you don't need to bring your laptops to dinner anymore. Shortcut will build or edit any excel file right on your phone if you get hit with the emergency pls-fix.

LLMs are famously bad at understanding XLSX -- until now. Shortcut can now jump inside of attached excel files to understand them better. Here a hedge fund receives a huge model to extract data from to update their internal model. Turns hours of work into minutes.

I think it's safe to say Excel is solved. The sign of an Excel rookie used to be manually using your mouse... now it's doing ANYTHING at all without AI. If you use Excel do yourself a favor and watch all 3 mins. It's a new world. Solving tasks in 20 mins that take teams days.

Introducing Shortcut — the first superhuman Excel agent. Shortcut one-shots most knowledge work tasks on Excel. It even scores >80% on Excel World Championship Cases in ~10 minutes. That's 10x faster than humans. Our early preview is live. Just comment for an invite code.

Shortcut – the first superhuman excel agent – is live. While not perfect, Shortcut beats first year analysts from McKinsey/Goldman head-to-head 89.1% (220:27) when blindly judged by their managers. We even gave humans 10x more time. Try Shortcut now (before your boss does).

Introducing Shortcut v0.5 The Superhuman Excel Agent It finishes an institutional-grade, 13-tab FP&amp;A model correctly in minutes - 10x faster than humans It won't solve ALL spreadsheet work (yet) but it turns beginners into pros and pros into masters of the craft Try for free

Prompt: Convert this professional-grade multi tab model into a standardized GAAP template. Handled industry specific nuance, clarified for preferences, filled in with exact formulas and formatting. This would take the best professionals half a day.

Shortcut one-shotting banker/PE work while I got coffee. (1/2) "Build me a LBO model based the Moelis 10k for a take-private. My boss thinks this should take all day" (2/2) "Update the existing model to include compounding interest rates from the web" Sending more codes today

Introducing Shortcut v0.6 We released the first Excel AI agent 7 months ago and created a tidal wave Watch 4 messy, real-world examples that no other agent can do accurately The difference between a demo, and a product that top spreadsheet users at 1000's of companies love

Shortcut can now spin up 1000's of agents to parallel search, but we built the feature entirely around the filesystem - enabling some pretty cool new things Here I fill out a huge table of VCs we tracked for a fundraise and another table that has subtables, merged cells, etc.

Asked Shortcut if I should invest in this company "Build a DCF model, use their 10k, do deep research on them, do sensitivity analysis, and a Monte Carlo simulation." Oh and build it like a KKR associate.

We had early access to GPT 5.4 to benchmark on Shortcut and it is extremely good at Excel Here is a quick walkthrough of two real-world tasks in our internal eval of 50,000+ cells each Watch, because the industry is way beyond the same flashy and meaningless DCF demo

Introducing Shortcut v0.8 - the best way to do spreadsheet work. Releasing 5 big updates - The Shortcut Safe for APIs/Tokens - Live, Shareable Dashboards - ShortcutXL CLI for Windows - The /skillstudio for automations - Bunch of new features Walkthrough and details below!

Spreadsheets are nearly solved Shortcut A moment is coming for spreadsheet work in the next couple months like it did for AI coding in August 2024. I didn't quite appreciate just how verifiable spreadsheets were at first. Turns out spreadsheets are really just math.

We are opening up a Research Preview for a product we are calling ShortcutXL We used ShortcutXL to build and audit 100 of the most searched for Excel templates in parallel (we are making them free too). OfficeJS/Openpyxl are great, but still quite limiting. Comment for access

New updates to Shortcut 1) Agent accuracy is up 20%+ in last two weeks according to internal evals 2) Quick edits mode allows for easy multi-turn editing 3) Scaling well and errors are down ~75% Oh, and MAX users can use Shortcut as an Excel plug-in too :)

The Shortcut API is live in private beta I built a DCF app that takes any stock ticker and gives you back a DCF. I built this with our API and Claude Code in &lt;15 minutes Onboarding devs and enterprises. Comment if you'd like access.

I built a working transformer model in Excel using Shortcut

Introducing Shortcut for Google Sheets! Shortcut is the best Spreadsheet agent in the world, and is now available to everyone to try for free on our site, Excel add-in, and G-Sheets. Here's how I use it. A big moment is coming for the two billion spreadsheet workers.

Detailed comparison of Claude vs Shortcut on Excel work. Claude is getting SO much better, but ironically it feels like Lovable, while Shortcut feels like Claude Code for Excel. "Build a DCF for NVIDIA based on their last 10k"

The Altera Bot is the first ever AI agent that you can directly play with in Minecraft. Until now, AI NPCs were mostly limited to walking and talking. Altera bots can build, chat, collab, and play with you -- just like a friend would. Join for early access:

"Take my bank statements and build out my financials for our Data Room" Wish i had this for our earlier rounds
