Product Description

OpenClaw Spreadsheet Processing is an automation solution for Excel and Google Sheets built on the OpenClaw platform. This application transforms Microsoft Excel into a conversational interface—reading data, writing formulas, generating charts, and building pivot tables through natural language, without the need to write VBA macros or maintain Python scripts. The AI agent handles Excel operations via the Microsoft Graph API (the same API used by Microsoft 365 web version). Google Sheets integration turns it into an AI-driven database, supporting data reading and writing, workflow automation, and anomaly alerts through conversation. The system also supports data quality checks, automatically capturing issues like text mixed into numeric columns, duplicate customer records, and formula errors.
