Tracelight

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 🙂

@peterfuller23 Let's go!

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

@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!

@markbrooks May I meet you?

Green Flags in a Man's Spreadsheet: 1. Starts in B2 2. Input cells shaded 3. Notes on assumptions 4. Good error trapping 5. "Accounting" not "Currency" 6. Global variables on separate tab 7. Chart format is informative, not fancy 8. Date series formulaic, not hard coded

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. #artificiallintelligence #excel

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. 🤔 #Finance #FinanceDaily #Business

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 Demo of Tracelight finding and fixing a London Whale-type error below: #Finance #ExcelTips #ArtificialIntelligence

Today, I’m proud to announce our $3.6m seed round, and launch @TracelightAI to the world. Tracelight is the best AI agent for spreadsheet tasks. No waitlist - use Tracelight today. We’re giving away a month of our pro plan for free - comment and we will send you a code.

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.

To try it out, just install the add-in for free: app.tracelight.ai/install?source…. We also have an enterprise version already being used by some of the biggest consultancies and investors in the world - reach out to pete [at] tracelight [dot] ai for more details

Financial modelling is entering a new era. Soon, all financial models will be built at the pace of a human analyst’s judgement, and all grunt work will all be done by AI. This is the future that Tracelight is building towards, and we couldn’t be more excited to get there.

Tracelight writes your formulas now! Starting today, the way that Excel users build spreadsheets will fundamentally change. Open Tracelight. Tell it what you want. Review and apply the formula. It’s that easy.
