Copilot Function Lands in Excel

Hi everyone,

Microsoft just dropped a new Copilot function directly into Excel, making AI a native part of the calculation engine.

It works like any other formula, pulling context from ranges and updating automatically as data changes.

On the other side, Meta is rolling out AI voice translation for Reels on Facebook and Instagram. Creators can now reach new audiences with dubbed content that preserves their own voice and even syncs lips with translations.

Also, really excited for our newest partner: Limitless, and their cool AI gadget!

Let’s get into the details.

Microsoft Brings the Copilot AI Function to Excel on Windows and Mac

Intelligence: Microsoft added a native COPILOT worksheet function to Excel that lets users prompt an AI model in formulas, with results that recalculate as data changes and work alongside existing functions.

• Copilot is a built-in worksheet function that takes prompt parts plus optional context from cells or ranges and returns AI-generated results.

• Because it is part of the calculation engine, outputs update automatically when source data changes, with no need to rerun scripts or refresh add-ins.

• The function can be nested with standard Excel functions like IF, SWITCH, LAMBDA, and WRAPROWS, or use other formula results as part of its prompt.

• Syntax follows the pattern =COPILOT(prompt_part1, [context1], [prompt_part2], [context2], ...) where prompt parts describe the task and context reference grid data.

• An example use case includes classifying customer comments by sentiment or category by referencing a range such as D4:D18.
