PROMPT CHAINING FOR LLM INTEGRATIONS IN SPREADSHEET ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303423 titled 'PROMPT CHAINING FOR LLM INTEGRATIONS IN SPREADSHEET ENVIRONMENTS

The technology described in this patent application involves an application service that interfaces with an LLM service to process natural language inputs associated with a spreadsheet.

• The application service receives a natural language input from a user related to a spreadsheet.
• It generates multiple prompts based on the input and a portion of the spreadsheet.
• It determines the order in which to input the prompts to the LLM service.
• The prompts are then inputted to the LLM service according to the determined order.

Potential Applications: - Data analysis and processing in spreadsheets - Natural language processing in business applications - Automation of tasks based on user inputs

Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of inputting data into a spreadsheet - Enhancing user experience with natural language interfaces - Improving efficiency in data analysis tasks

Benefits: - Increased productivity in data processing tasks - Simplified user interactions with spreadsheets - Enhanced accuracy in data input and analysis

Commercial Applications: "Enhancing Data Processing Efficiency with Natural Language Interfaces: A Game-Changer for Business Applications"

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience with spreadsheets? - This technology simplifies data input and analysis tasks by allowing users to interact with spreadsheets using natural language inputs.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology for businesses? - Businesses can benefit from increased productivity and accuracy in data processing tasks, leading to improved decision-making processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

technology is disclosed herein for an application service which interfaces with an llm service. in an implementation, the application service receives a natural language input from a user associated with a spreadsheet. the application service generates multiple prompts based on the natural language input and a portion of the spreadsheet and determines an order in which to input the prompts to an llm service. the application service determines an order in which to input the prompts to an llm service, then inputs the prompts to the llm service according to the determined order.
