360 years.
That is collective Excel experience of my team of 30 people, in one room.
I have personally used Excel for 20 years. Since the very beginning.
We’ve spent decades "crushing it" when it comes to financial modeling.
We knew every shortcut. Every nested formula. We thought we had reached the peak of efficiency. (They are better then me, just to admit)
But I have something to tell you.
The game just changed.
In my opinion, we are witnessing the biggest innovation since Excel was first released. It’s not a new function or a Power BI update.
It’s Claude.
Specifically, Claude’s ability to build and manipulate Excel models.
For 40 years, the "manual labor" was the tax we paid.
Hardcoding formulas.
Spending hours formatting cells.
Manually linking sheets and building tables from scratch.
That era is over.
Claude can now handle the heavy lifting of building the structure, the logic, and the formatting in minutes.
But here is the part that really surprised me: It actually understands accounting.
It understands the relationship between a Balance Sheet and a Cash Flow statement. It understands how operating drivers flow into a P&L.
We aren't replacing our expertise. We are finally liberating it.
Instead of spending 80% of our time building the model, we spend 100% of our time analyzing the results.
If you want this Prompt and Excel model, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you.

We’re so excited about this; @christian_ryder, @theapprocks and I set out 6 years ago to try and make push notifications truly user first for billions of people in a new way, and this opportunity to work with @Twitter fulfils that in so many ways more than we ever imagined.
