@TracelightAI is now basically Cowork for grown-ups. Central web app plus add-ins to the whole Microsoft suite.
Everyone told us not to build this because labs, Microsoft yada yada.
We think they’re wrong and we can build a wildly better product for our customers. Here’s Tracelight doing a full asset valuation workflow end-to-end.
Much more to come and have never felt so excited about where our product is heading.

Today, @TracelightAI is launching Spreadsheet Apps. For the first time, you can turn your Excel models into interactive, shareable apps that calculate live in the browser.
Your spreadsheet is no longer just a file. It’s the back-end of any app you want to build. Here’s just a few things that makes possible:
- Explore deals live: Toggle scenarios, adjust assumptions, and watch dashboards update instantly during meetings
- Build dynamic EBITDA bridges: Switch base periods and drill into different categories
- Animate cash flow: Use interactive Sankey diagrams to visualise exactly how cash flows through a business
- Generate interactive reports: Embed responsive, calculation-driven charts directly into your commentary
Your job is to create a story from complex data. Spreadsheet Apps are a new way to do that.
Try them today at tracelight[dot]ai

Introducing Tracelight 1.0
After six months, we are live with 5 of the 10 biggest management consultancies in the world, as well as PE funds and asset managers with over $600B in AUM.
Tracelight is the best AI add-in to Excel. In testing against the leading alternative add-ins, Tracelight 1.0 was:
- The most accurate
- 2x faster building analysis on average
- 20x faster at finding human errors in complex spreadsheets
We’ve been building with early adopters and enterprise partners for months. You can now reach a completely new level of performance in Excel. That’s why today we’re proud to launch a major new version.
To celebrate, we're giving 1 month of Tracelight Pro for free to anyone who comments LAUNCH below or TAGs a friend who needs this

All your spreadsheets contain errors. Today, for a limited time, you can check your model with @TracelightAI for free. No add-in install required.
We’ve built a new error-checking engine for Tracelight. It's twice as accurate as Claude.
It's fully confidential - no spreadsheet data is retained. If you want to see where your errors are hiding, give it a go.
Try it out now at tracelight.ai/excel-audit

From today, @TracelightAI turns your spreadsheets into beautiful, shareable webpages.
I’m so excited about this feature, it’s magic.
You could already create Powerpoints or Word docs with Tracelight.
But now you can build interactive webpages that tell the story of your analysis so much more powerfully.
It’s not just about saving time - although it definitely does that. It’s about differentiating yourself. Once your clients and team see dynamic artifacts like this, they won’t want to go back to the old way of doing things.
Over the next few days, we will be making Tracelight’s webpages even better - adding chat, and native citation to the underlying Excel.
Welcome to the future everyone 🙂
@TracelightAI now manages its context length. If your chat gets long, it will compact it behind the scenes.
Our users won't have to start new chats when a chat gets long and performance is maintained in lengthy sessions.
Tracelight can now work alongside you all day and night!
Today we’re launching 𝗦𝘁𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 in Tracelight. Now Tracelight scans your Excel to figure out exactly how you format, and follows those rules precisely.
We’re excited for you to try it. Let us know what you think!

You're not going to be replaced by AI - that's what I just told a user.
Analysts build financial models to understand a problem and form an opinion.
@TracelightAI helps you form this opinion faster and make it stronger (justified by better analysis, more data, error free modelling, more robust assumptions).
It's not about automating financial modelling. It's about making it easier, faster, and better. The process is how you develop problem understanding. The process is the goal.
𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀.
Teach Tracelight any of your repeat workflows in Excel. Then execute with just two keystrokes.
In the video below with @peterfuller23, watch @janekzimoch automate first-cut LBO analysis.
In the next few weeks, we're going to show you Tracelight implementing every major repeat Excel workflow in finance and consulting.

WH Smith just plunged 42% on an accounting error. Spreadsheets matter - keep yours correct with Tracelight.
#news #ExcelTips
WH Smith overstated profits by 40%, £30m.
Relates to accelerated recognition of supplier income - i.e discounts from suppliers.
Seems similar to the 2014 Tesco scandal. Carillon did the same.
The board, non-execs, audit cttee, internal auditors asleep.

Question for finance Twitter:
You spend $200K hiring a brilliant MBA.
Then you make them spend 50% of their time writing and debugging Excel formulas.
Make it make sense. 🤔

Your Excel model could cost your company $6.2 billion 🚨
We know, we know. That sounds completely insane. But one global bank found out the hard way that it's not.
In 2012, their "London Whale" trades lost $6.2B. Want to know how it started? Someone copy-pasted data wrong in Excel.
Traders were moving data between spreadsheets manually. A formula broke somewhere in the process. Their calculations were completely off. Nobody noticed until they'd already lost billions.
Here's what keeps us up at night: 94% of professional financial models have errors in them right now.
Most companies are literally one spreadsheet mistake away from their own disaster. And the scary part?
Your model probably has errors in it right now.
The question isn't whether there are errors. The question is whether you'll catch them before they catch you.
Check out what we're building to catch and correct errors → tracelight.ai

We’ve built the first AI agent that works natively in Excel, a superpowered analyst by your side. Proud to be building @TracelightAI with @aleks_misztal , @janekzimoch , and our exceptional team. Exciting news coming this week. Watch this space!

We gave @TracelightAI the ability to use Python tools and the results are kind of magical.
You get ~instant charts showing you important things in your financial model. This is a pretty extreme example of helping people to understand more, while doing less.
