Join me as I chat with Nico Christie where he demos Shortcut, an AI-powered spreadsheet tool that functions like "Excel built for the future." Through several live demos, he shows how the platform can create financial models, update existing spreadsheets with new data, and build custom analysis tools using simple natural language prompts. The product aims to make Excel-based work significantly faster while maintaining transparency about data sources and calculations.
