xlwings Lite has an AI assistant built in. It can write your Python, explain it, and help you fix it, all inside the editor.
Everything so far, you wrote yourself. That was on purpose. The basics are what turn AI into a helper instead of a black box.
You know the words and what is possible, so you can tell the AI exactly what you want.
You can read the Python it gives back, spot when it is wrong, and fix it.
Two help you automate, right in the editor. The third is a formula you type in a cell.
Something breaks? Paste the error in and it explains the fix.
Describe a task in plain English and it writes the Python for you.
Point it at a question and some cells, get the answer back in the grid.
xlwings Lite has been local and free this whole time. Wingman is the one part that reaches outside, so know this before you switch it on.
Until now it all ran locally. With Wingman, your request goes to an online provider, so keep confidential data out.
You pay the provider per request, usually just pennies. The bill depends on the model and how much you use it.
OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude work out of the box with your own API key. Custom models too.
It is saved in your browser, not encrypted. Anyone who can use your computer could read it, so treat it like a password. Learn more
Do not get frustrated if it misses what you wanted, or even throws an error. Read it over and ask again.
Only the request goes out. The Python it writes runs on your machine, and you can rerun it any time.
