right, Dawn, what did you learn this week?
17:56
You know, I'm really excited about AI.
17:58
I'm sorry, everybody, we just talk about AI all the time, but I've really taken the steps to do my research and think about things.

One of the things I learned this week was how you can utilize Excel with Claude as an add-on And you can export an Excel spreadsheet from a GL, doesn't matter which one you're using.
18:22
You get a PL and a balance sheet, comparatives.
18:24
You could do them by month.
18:25
You could get all kind of crazy with it, but let's just keep it basic.
21:13
Folks, this might actually be a great little gateway drug to getting into Claude, for lack of a better metaphor, because you can just do the add-ons to the three apps that you use a lot, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and get a feel for how powerful Claude is, and then go out to Claude proper.
