Claude for Excel opens the gates; Tasklet AI agent links...

Claude for Excel finally reaches the spreadsheet crowd after a developer‑first rollout, putting a large language model directly into the tools used by most knowledge workers. Whether this integration will change everyday workflows it's still uncertain; the feature simply expands access, not guarantees impact. Tasklet, meanwhile, promises an AI agent that can hook into any app or API, trigger actions around the clock, and even operate a computer to complete tasks.

The claim sounds broad, yet no performance data have been shared, leaving its practical utility unclear. The Rundown Roundtable highlighted diverse AI use cases, while Remotion showcased rapid creation of ads and marketing videos. Gallup’s finding that half of respondents… remains incomplete in the summary, but the accompanying quote warns that early adopters in lagging sectors could outpace competitors.

Together, these announcements suggest a push toward embedding AI deeper into routine software, though the real‑world effectiveness of Claude in Excel and Tasklet’s universal agent will need to be demonstrated before firms can rely on them.
