With IronCalc!!! Soo incredibly happy to see this (BTW I just saw this two minutes after submitting by complete chance)

Oh amazing! Ironcalc was awesome to plug in.

Was reading issues you reviewed while building it.

Cool! I'm working on something similar (https://app.embedsheet.ai, a bit buggy and in-dev, the paid stuff is just placeholders) but yours feels much more responsive and smooth than mine, it's very impressive!

I notice that one of the big things with using LLMs for something like this is making that each cell input/output has a corresponding cell reference (e.g. A1:"data in a cell"). I was originally doing it with CSV data inside XML tags for each block of data e.g:

1,2 3,4

Which works for very small blocks but since LLMs are so terrible at counting it would begin to make mistakes after anything more than a very small range. I think the killer feature for something like this would be letting the LLM try to come up with JS-based custom functions so that it's not limited to builtin formulas.

Very nice! thats a great idea. I was thinking xml tag by tag is good because it creates a lovely streaming experience of cells filled in one by one
