My manager just asked if we can "add AI" to our Excel export feature
Context: I work at a mid-sized logistics company. Our flagship product is a dashboard that lets warehouse managers export reports to Excel.
Today in our sprint planning, my manager looked at the quarterly roadmap and said:
"I've been reading a lot about AI. Can we add AI to the Excel export?"
I asked what he meant. He said he wanted it to be "smarter."
I asked smarter how.
He said "like ChatGPT but for Excel."
I closed my laptop. I looked out the window. I thought about becoming a farmer.
We ship in 3 weeks.
