=SUM() is universally familiar. Spreadsheets have become one of the most successful programming environments in history, proving that a simple grid can be a powerful substrate. Looking ahead to an agentic future, Foundry Labs is sharing an open experiment: Project CalcLM. It explores how agent workflows might live in a grid-like surface. This isn’t a product, just something lightweight to explore. Bang around and let us know what you think. 🔗 https://aka.ms/calclm

Cool. This is what I had shared with Ryan Roslansky, after the announcement of the native Copilot function in Excel: The bigger opportunity is now to open this up. Let anyone build, discover, and monetize their agents as functions in Excel via the M365 Marketplace. Proprietary, domain-specific agents will deliver 100x the value of traditional add-ins in the marketplace, and promote Excel's position as a platform, beyond a product.

This is interesting, thank you for sharing. In supply chain lots of seasoned supply planners live and breeze in excel to model the dynamics when their planning system can’t handle. I am gonna look into it.

"CalcLM looks like a fascinating exploration! Leveraging the familiar grid interface for agentic workflows is a clever approach. Looking forward to seeing where this goes."
