Engineer on ChatGPT for Excel here. Useful feedback. We have improved the latency inside the add-in a lot and a lot more to come. We also have the Fast, Standard and Heavy thinking modes, where you can adjust the thinking time depending on the task complexity. Curious to hear your feedback once you try this out!

Would love for you to try both copilot and ChatGPT for Excel. Agreed on the limitations - but in our experience, ChatGPT for Excel does really well on complex sheets.

Hi, engineer on this add-in. Fair concern but we never train on any of our business or enterprise user data, or if you have opted-out of training on your ChatGPT account.

IMO folks are better off deploying their own version where they can adjust a few knobs (e.g. split chunk size) to get better results, given that PDF Q&A is such a commodity application.

Wrote a <50 lines version with LangChain to run on your terminal with any folder full of PDF documents - https://github.com/angad/dharamshala/blob/main/docs.py

return_source_documents is particularly helpful to get a sense of what is being sent in the prompt.

Stack Overflow newsletters[1] are great as well. It sends you top questions of the week, both answered and unanswered. Great way to learn small things about things you love. Its the perfect application of "Knowledge should be bite-sized".

I subscribe to RPi, Net Eng, CS, theoretical CS and Code Golf news letters. Any other suggestions?
