Assistant

It works in your file, not in a chat

Spreadsheets in plain English

No formulas to write, no menus to dig through. Say what you want and the assistant sets values, writes the formulas, and formats the ranges for you.

Your real Excel files

Open the file you were sent, save the file you'll send on. It opens in Excel like any other, and nobody needs to know how it was made.

You're still in charge

Watch every edit land in the grid. Click any cell and type whenever you want, and undo a whole run in one click if it's not right.

Knowledge base

Attach the documents that hold the answers

Drop the PDF next to the sheet instead of retyping it. Kantaja indexes what you attach, searches it when your request depends on it, and fills in cells from what it actually finds. If the answer is not in your files, it says so instead of guessing.

  • PDF, Word and plain text, up to 20 files per workbook
  • Answers are grounded in real passages from your files
  • Works in chat and inside =AI() formulas

The =AI() formula

AI in a cell, like any formula

Give it a prompt and the cells to look at, then fill it down like any formula. Categorize, translate, extract, tidy: one value per row, straight into the grid. Results stay pinned, so nothing re-rolls or re-bills behind your back. They only change when your inputs change or you refresh them yourself.

  • Fill down a whole column at once
  • Pinned results, no surprise re-rolls
  • Reads your attached files when the answer lives there

The alternative is you doing it

Why not just paste it into a chatbot?

A chat assistant

You paste data out and get advice back. The edits are still yours to make, cell by cell, and the file never changes.

Learning it yourself

Google the formula, watch the tutorial, ask the one coworker who knows. An hour later the sheet still isn't done.

Kantaja

You open the .xlsx, say what you want, and watch the edits land in the grid. Save and send the finished file.

Open, ask, move on

01

Open

Drop in the .xlsx you already have. Nothing to install, nothing to set up.

02

Ask

Say what you want in plain words. Attach a PDF if the answers live there. The assistant reads your data and builds it in the grid.

03

Move on

Save back to .xlsx and send it on. The full run is in the log if you ever want to look.

Why you can trust it with your file

Check its work, any time

Exactly four actions can change your sheet, and each one lands in the log with its range the moment it runs. The only other thing the assistant can do is search the files you attach, and that is read-only.

Revert any run

Each run is one entry in the log. One click rolls back everything it changed.

read_rangeLooks at your data before touching it.
set_valuesWrites values into exactly the cells it names.
apply_formulaWrites real formulas, not pasted-in numbers.
format_rangeStyles ranges so the result reads at a glance.
search_filesSearches your attached files. Read-only.

Questions, answered

Do I need to know Excel?

No. If you can say what you want in plain words, Kantaja can do it: formulas, formatting, cleanup, summaries. You never have to write a formula yourself.

Is there really a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes a daily assistant allowance and needs no card. Open a file and try it on real work first.

What files does it work with?

Kantaja opens and saves real .xlsx files. The file you take back opens in Excel like any other, so nobody downstream needs to know how it was made. You can also attach PDFs, Word files and plain text for it to read.

Do I need Excel installed?

No. Kantaja is a full spreadsheet editor in your browser. You only need Excel for whatever you do with the file afterwards.

What can the assistant actually change?

Exactly four things: read a range, set values, apply a formula, format a range. Nothing else can touch your sheet, and every action lands in the log with its range the moment it runs.

What happens when it gets something wrong?

You watch every action land as it happens, you can take over at any cell, and one click reverts everything a run changed.

Can I use AI inside a formula?

Yes. =AI() is a worksheet function: give it a prompt and inputs, get a value back in the cell. Results stay put until the inputs change or you refresh them, and it can pull answers from your attached files too.

Can it read my documents?

Yes. Attach PDFs, Word files or plain text to a workbook, up to 20 files. The assistant and =AI() formulas search them and ground answers in real passages from your files. If nothing relevant is found, it says so instead of guessing.

What does it cost?

Free to start, with 4 AI credits a day and no card needed. Pro is $8 a month (40 credits a day) and Max is $32 a month (400 credits a day), billed yearly or monthly. Teams get a $49 Business plan with 5 seats and AI usage included. See the pricing page for details.

Can my team use it?

Yes. Organizations give your team shared workbooks and member invites, with assistant usage tracked at the organization level.
