Could you build this?
Partial Simple Excel formula generators are easy to build, but a tool that directly manipulates local files, executes multi-step spreadsheet automations, and handles large complex workbooks reliably requires a sandboxed Python execution engine and robust file parsing.
What it would actually take: An Electron or desktop wrapper paired with a secure local execution sandbox running Python (openpyxl, pandas, duckdb) or an in-memory WASM environment. The hard part is building an autonomous agentic loop capable of planning multi-step spreadsheet edits, debugging its own code errors, and handling malformed formulas across arbitrary legacy workbook formats without data corruption. Requires robust automated code-execution architectures and deep familiarity with Excel's internal OOXML specifications.
