Melder - AI for Excel

Melder adds functions like =M.EXTRACT(), =M.GEN(), and =M.CATEGORIZE() that work next to your existing formulas. You pass in a cell or a document reference and get back a value, so the output updates when the source changes. This is the core difference from chatbots you have to copy and paste into.

You can drop PDFs, DOCX, and TXT files directly into a worksheet and reference their full contents inside any Melder formula. That covers contracts, invoices, reports, and transcripts. The add-in reads scanned PDFs too, but heavy or unusual layouts may need a manual check.

A scraping function pulls the contents of a web page into Excel. Point it at one URL or a hundred and it returns the text for you to parse. Teams use it for competitor pricing, product descriptions, and market research that used to mean opening tabs one at a time.

The chat pane accepts plain-language requests and builds spreadsheet models in response. Ask for a sales forecast or a reconciliation and the agent proposes the formulas, pivots, and charts, which you can refine with follow-up messages. It writes into the workbook rather than handing you instructions to type yourself.

Every AI-generated answer can carry a citation back to the source text. That matters when you need to defend a number in a board deck. You can trace where an extracted value came from instead of trusting the output blindly.

Melder ships prebuilt templates for data room analysis, market research, and clause extraction. They connect several documents at once, so you get a working starting point instead of a blank sheet. You can copy and modify them, or build your own from the agent.
