Agentova + Excel: an AI assistant that reads and fills your workbooks
With Microsoft Excel connected, your agents work in the workbooks on your OneDrive: add a row to a table, look up a value, fix a cell, create a sheet. They do it during the conversation, when you ask them to.

Add rows to a table
Ask an agent to log a prospect, an order or an expense: it adds the row to the Excel sheet or table you point it to.
Find a row from a value
The agent looks for the row containing a reference, a name or a number, and gives you its contents in the chat, without you opening the workbook.
Fix a cell or a table row
The agent updates a specific cell, or a row in an Excel table, such as the status of a file or a follow-up date.
Read a table and summarize it
The agent reads a table's rows and a sheet's columns, then sums up what it finds: totals, overdue items, missing values.
Create a workbook or sheet
The agent creates a new workbook on your OneDrive, or adds a sheet to an existing workbook, ready to be filled in.

Frequently asked questions
Does my Excel file need to be on OneDrive?
Yes. Excel actions go through the connected Microsoft account and apply to the workbooks in its OneDrive. A file stored only on your computer is not accessible to the agent.
Does the agent write VBA macros?
No. It reads and writes values in your sheets and tables; it doesn't create or run macros in your workbooks.
Can you automate Excel with Agentova?
Excel actions run during a conversation, when you ask an agent to read or edit a workbook. Agentova doesn't monitor your workbooks and writes nothing to them unless you ask.
Can I connect several Microsoft Excel accounts?
Yes. Several accounts can be connected to the same workspace, depending on your plan. The agents use the one you set as default, and you can change that choice at any time.
How do I disconnect Microsoft Excel?
Open the AI Brain, then the Integrations tab, and remove the Microsoft Excel account. The agents then lose access to your workbooks.
