Abstract
Technology is disclosed herein for the integration of spreadsheet environments with LLM services. In an implementation, an application service receives a natural language input from a user associated with a spreadsheet hosted by a spreadsheet application. The application service generates a prompt based on the natural language input which includes asking a large language model (LLM) service to classify a statement in the input as referring to one of multiple capabilities of the spreadsheet application. The application service inputs the prompt to the LLM service and receives an output from the LLM service which identifies a determined one of the multiple capabilities. The application service generates a revised prompt based on the input and the determined one of the multiple capabilities and inputs the revised prompt to the LLM service.
