We're rolling out a feature that lets you vibecode Excel models, the same category a well-funded Silicon Valley startup has been getting attention for. Building it out, we realised we don't just match what's currently considered best. We beat it.
Here's our output for the prompt "build a detailed LBO model for ExxonMobil": https://docs.google.com/spreadsh...
Run that same prompt on any other platform and the gap is hard to miss. Here is what claude had to say about our results vs others: https://claude.ai/public/artifac...
How we did it: we generate Excel server-side instead of client-side, using openpyxl as the engine. We built on top of it to support pivot tables and everything else a real model needs. The reasoning behind the bet: openpyxl is heavily represented in training data, so the model actually knows how to drive it. That's the difference between a spreadsheet that looks right and one that is right.
An idea isn t a product until you believe it is and that product isn t a startup until you treat it like one. Dedicated hours, out of pocket tools, standup slacks with your co-founder even though he s your husband and sitting right next to you, knee deep in deriving a unique algorithmic formula to feed this audacious engine. Something shifts and what was an idea is now tangible.
The waiting sucks, but it s also a gift in itself. It reframes the mind. This isn t a project anymore. This is real. We wake up, clock in, schedule stand-ups, innovate, iterate and innovate again. At the end of the day, we look one last time for that email inviting us to interview, it s not there (yet, or maybe never.) But, we look at each other and are immensely grateful to have had another day to do what we love, and proud of the achievements we accomplished that day.
Meta retired Creator Studio in 2024, but it's wild how many "how to schedule Instagram posts" guides still tell you to use it. People follow the steps and hit a dead tool.
Here's where things actually stand, from going through all the options recently:
I ve been working on SnoreStop AI, an iPhone app that records snoring overnight and turns it into a simple morning report.
The more I dig into this space, the more I think the hard part is not just detecting snoring. It s making the data useful without pretending the app can diagnose sleep apnea or fix someone s sleep.
