Abstract
Technology is disclosed herein for the integration of spreadsheet environments and LLM services. In an implementation, an application service inputs a first prompt to a LLM service to provide a formula suggestion for a spreadsheet. The application service receives a first output from the LLM service that includes a first formula in a programming language having a syntax that does not support comments. The application service generates a second prompt instructing the LLM service to provide a chain-of-thought breakdown of the first formula and receives a second output. The second output includes a second formula in the same programming language as the first formula and multiple comments corresponding to multiple portions of the second formula.
