+Microsoft Excel logo

An AI team that works in Microsoft Excel for you.

Your bots read and update Excel workbooks in OneDrive and SharePoint. New bots start on Ask, so they check with you before they act in Microsoft Excel, except on Hermes and other ACP engines.

Download Murage

Free app. Microsoft Excel connects through Flux Router credits or your own connected-apps key. You sign in to Microsoft Excel yourself.

Murage · Microsoft Excel

Open the budget workbook and tell me which lines are over plan this month.

Microsoft Excel logo

You signed in to Microsoft Excel once. Your Chief put a bot on it.

  • Microsoft Excel logoSearch files and read worksheets and ranges
  • Microsoft Excel logoAdd rows, tables and worksheets
  • Microsoft Excel logoSort and filter tables

What your bots can do in Microsoft Excel.

  • Search files and read worksheets and ranges
  • Add rows, tables and worksheets
  • Sort and filter tables
  • Add a chart
  • Export a workbook to PDF

“Asks first” means the bot checks with you before it does that, on Ask, the mode every new bot starts in. You can give a bot more freedom later. On Full access, a bot stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about, and Hermes doesn’t ask before connected-app tools, so these actions don’t ask first there.

Try this on day one: budget lines over plan

“Open the budget workbook and tell me which lines are over plan this month.”

  • This month’s actuals against plan, line by line
  • Every line over plan, with how far
  • A short note on what’s driving the biggest ones

Jobs your team does with Microsoft Excel.

  • Monthly numbersWhat moved last month, and why, on one page.“Here’s last month’s P&L and our Stripe export. Tell me what moved, why, and the three questions I should ask my accountant. One page, show your work.”See the job in detail
  • Weekly reportThe Friday update, written before you ask.“Every Friday at 3, draft the weekly update: what shipped, what moved, what is stuck, and what we need. Keep it under 300 words.”See the job in detail

Ready-made teams that use Microsoft Excel.

  • Back-Office CrewTurn operational issues into a prioritized daily action list with financial context and clear follow-ups.

How to connect it.

  1. 1

    Download Murage

    Free for Mac, Windows and Ubuntu. Pick the AI you already use; if it needs installing, Murage opens a one-line command for you.

  2. 2

    Connect Microsoft Excel

    Open connected apps and sign in to Microsoft Excel once. It runs through Flux Router credits, or your own connected-apps key.

  3. 3

    Give a brief

    Tell your Chief of Staff what to do with Microsoft Excel. New bots start on Ask, so they check with you before they act, except on Hermes and other ACP engines.

Where Murage fits next to Copilot and Zapier.

  • What a team adds here

    Your team reads across pages and tables, then writes the one page that pulls them together.

  • Works across your apps

    One brief can pull from Microsoft Excel, your calendar, your CRM and the web. Copilot is built for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft’s other apps.

  • Keeps notes on your business

    Your bots keep notes on your customers, your tone and how you like things done, stored on your computer where you can open and edit them.

  • Runs on the AI you already pay for

    Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, a model key or a local model. The Murage app is free; your AI provider bills you as usual.

Where they win: Copilot is right there inside Microsoft Excel, with nothing to set up. Zapier runs in the cloud whether your computer is on or not, while Murage runs while your computer is on. Use Copilot or Zapier for quick one-offs and fixed recipes, and Murage for the work that needs judgment.

Already have Zaps? Your bots can run them. Add the Zapier MCP server and your bots use your Zaps as tools, and a Zap can start a Murage task through a local webhook (senders in the cloud need a tunnel to reach your computer).

Questions about Murage and Microsoft Excel.

Can Murage connect to Microsoft Excel?+

Yes. Sign in to Microsoft Excel once inside Murage, through Flux Router credits or your own connected-apps key, and your bots can search files and read worksheets and ranges.

Will it change or send anything in Microsoft Excel without asking?+

Not while it’s on Ask, where every new bot starts: it checks with you before it acts in Microsoft Excel. On Auto or Full access, replies in an existing conversation and routine edits go ahead, but a bot still stops before messaging anyone new, posting publicly, paying, or deleting outside its folder, unless you have allowed it for that task. Only No limits turns that off. On Hermes and other ACP engines, Ask and the stop line cover only what the engine asks Murage about, and Hermes doesn’t ask before connected-app tools.

How is this different from Copilot?+

Copilot helps inside Microsoft Excel. Murage gives you a team that works across Microsoft Excel and your other apps, keeps notes on your business, and runs on the AI you already pay for.

What does it cost?+

The Murage app is free. Microsoft Excel connects through Flux Router credits, or your own connected-apps key if you have one. Your AI provider bills you as usual.
