LLM INTEGRATIONS WITH SPREADSHEET ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303424 titled 'LLM INTEGRATIONS WITH SPREADSHEET ENVIRONMENTS

The technology described in this patent application involves an application service that interacts with a large language model (LLM) service. In this implementation, the application service receives a natural language input from a user associated with a spreadsheet, generates a prompt based on the user input and at least a portion of the spreadsheet, and submits the prompt to the LLM service. The application service then receives a reply to the prompt from the LLM service and responds to the input based on the reply.
