Upload your Excel file to Claude or ChatGPT. Ask for the data you need. Get clean, structured output — ready for your dashboard, your database, or your next report.
Any format. Passwords handled. Formulas recalculated. And next month? Same extraction, new file, zero effort.
Every team that works with Excel reports hits the same walls.
Your supplier sends .xls. Finance sends .xlsx. The legacy system exports .xlsm with macros. Another team uses LibreOffice and sends .ods. Some files are password-protected. You need a different workaround for each.
You export to CSV and lose everything: the color-coded categories, the merged headers, the conditional formatting that flags problems. You're left guessing at structure that was right there in the file.
The formulas reference other sheets, linked files, or named ranges. When you open the file outside Excel, the values are stale or broken. You can't trust the numbers.
You wrote a script or a macro to extract last month's report. This month, someone added a column, renamed a header, or moved the totals row. It crashes. You fix it. Repeat forever.
Give your AI the ability to truly read Excel — not just the values, but the colors, the formulas, the structure. Everything.
.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm, .ods — even password-protected. Formulas are recalculated automatically. Nothing is lost.
"Extract the budget by department and month." "Show me everything over budget." "Compare this month to last month."
Structured JSON or CSV, ready for your tools. Next month, upload the new file — same extraction runs automatically.
I can see the file has 3 sheets. The “Budget Summary” sheet has color-coded categories with formulas calculating variances.
Here are the expenses by department:
Department Q2 Budget Q2 Actual Variance Engineering 550,000 548,000 -0.4% Sales & Marketing 320,000 345,000 +7.8% Legal & Compliance 50,000 62,000 +24.0% ← FLAGGED
Legal & Compliance is 24% over budget — already flagged with a red warning in the original file. Sales & Marketing is 7.8% over.
I've built the extraction script. Next month, just upload the new file and I'll run the same extraction automatically.
Not a flat grid of numbers. The actual layout with colors, borders, merged cells, and formulas. That's how it knows which row is a header, which is a total, and which is flagged red.

The blue headers, the red warning, the category bands, the formatted numbers — all gone. Your AI has to guess what's a header and what's data.
Merged title, blue headers, category bands, red negatives, navy totals, warning banner — nothing lost.
Your AI doesn't just extract data once — it writes a reusable extraction scriptthat runs on next month's file. And the month after that.
AI builds the extraction
Upload your report. The AI explores the structure, identifies headers, categories, data zones — and writes a precise extraction script.
Same script, new file
Upload the new report. The extraction script runs instantly on the same structure. Clean data in seconds, not hours.
Format changed? AI adapts.
Someone added a column or renamed a header. The AI detects the difference, fixes the script, and extracts the data anyway. No developer needed.
A script or a macro breaks when the format changes. A human can adapt but takes hours. agentixl gives you both: the precision of a script with the adaptability of a human.
No more workarounds. No more “can you save it as .xlsx first?”
.xlsx, .xls, .xlsm, .ods — including legacy and LibreOffice files. Automatic conversion, no manual steps.
Password-protected files are decrypted on upload. Just provide the password and your AI does the rest.
Formulas are recalculated automatically — no more stale values or broken references. You get the real numbers.
Extract from multiple sheets at once with the same script. Jan, Feb, Mar — one extraction, all months consolidated.
Your AI sees the colors, the bold text, the borders. It knows which cells are headers, totals, or warnings — just like you do.
Upload two versions of the same report. See exactly what changed, cell by cell. Draft vs. final in seconds.
Manual. Error-prone. Doesn't scale. And you lose all the formatting that tells you what the data means.
Works until the format changes. Then it breaks, and you need someone technical to fix it. Every. Single. Time.
The AI reads pixels and guessesvalues. 85,000 becomes 85.000 or “$85K”. Merged cells confuse layout. Every number is a hallucination risk.
Exact values from exact cells. Zero hallucination. The AI writes a deterministic extraction script, not a probabilistic guess. When the format changes, it fixes the script itself.
