Excel

Excel for Mac is powerful but different from Windows Excel. Lumini helps you navigate it by voice.

Why Excel is hard

Excel on macOS has a different interface than the Windows version most tutorials assume. Keyboard shortcuts use different modifiers. Some features are in different menus. Pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, conditional formatting, and Power Query each have their own learning curve.

How Tutor mode helps

Tutor mode watches your Excel sheet. Building a formula? Lumini sees your data and suggests the right function. Formatting a table? Lumini points at the Format as Table button. Creating a chart? Lumini walks you through chart types based on your data.

How Lumini automates tasks

Lumini handles the administrative work around spreadsheets. 'Lumini, create a note with the quarterly numbers from this sheet.' 'Lumini, remind me to send this report at 3pm.' 'Lumini, search the web for how to do a VLOOKUP across sheets.' 'Lumini, open the reports folder in Finder.'
