Microsoft has just announced Copilot's ability to process data in Excel by generating Python code. - Request a detailed analysis - Copilot generates Python - Excel executes the code to show the result All without having to write a single formula. Just natural language. Huge deal for data analysis...

Absolutely. The market and the impact it's going to have are absolutely gigantic.

Evil whispers claim the only reason they introduced python in excel was because that was how they could get copilot working in it...

Yep! Was in beta but now they're really taking it to the next level by allowing you to generate the code with Copilot.

Any chance this will improve weather forecasting?

Good question! This seems to make forecasting new data a lot easier. So maybe it'll be useful for this use case.

Exciting update on PantheonOS: Introducing Pantheon-Notebook & Pantheon-CLI — the first fully open-source, Python-based agentic tools that go beyond Claude Code in the field of data analysis. Pantheon-CLI runs entirely on your computer or server, supports 60+ tools and 50+ databases, and can call any Python, R, or Julia package alongside natural language. Chat with your data directly. It look like python-claude-code, but more appreciate for data analysis. Pantheon-Notebook brings the same agentic framework into Jupyter! Not just for writing code, it can also run and revise code automatically to generate the correct result, and even operate on files and study from website — beyond what any other tool can do! With Pantheon, you mix natural language + programming in one workflow, focusing on discovery instead of syntax barriers. We've applied Pantheon in some real-world cases: finance (customer explore), biology (Seurat, cell segmentation, annotation), sociology (survey analysis), and drug discovery (molecular docking). Pantheon is not just a CLI or a plugin — it's an agentic operating system for science, spanning both terminal and notebook. Why not try it now? We are actively preparing publications from this series of projects. Major contributors will be recognized in our GitHub repository and listed as key authors in these manuscripts. Feel free to reach out for collaborations, research assistant positions, visiting opportunities, rotation project or future PhD projects.
