Introduction to ModelMonkey
Learn what ModelMonkey is and how it can transform your spreadsheet workflows
What is ModelMonkey?
ModelMonkey is an AI-powered automation tool for Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel that understands your spreadsheets and helps you work smarter. Instead of writing complex formulas or manually processing data, you can describe what you want in plain English and let ModelMonkey handle the rest.
Whether you're building financial models, cleaning messy data, or automating repetitive tasks, ModelMonkey acts as your intelligent spreadsheet assistant—in the platform you prefer.
Key Concepts
Natural Language Commands - Describe what you want in plain English. No formulas, no coding—just tell ModelMonkey what you need and it figures out how to do it.
Smart Understanding - ModelMonkey reads your spreadsheet to understand its structure, naming conventions, and how different sheets relate to each other. This context helps it make intelligent decisions about your data.
Safe by Default - Before making any changes, ModelMonkey shows you exactly what it plans to do. You review and approve—nothing happens without your say-so.
Built-in Verification - After making changes, ModelMonkey checks its own work to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency with your spreadsheet's formatting.
Tip
ModelMonkey only modifies your spreadsheet when you explicitly approve changes.
