I have been thinking about the problem of collaborating with AI in spreadsheets a bit. I think I want a few things solved:

- Revision control with attribution so I can double check LLMs edits

- Online collaboration with other humans and LLMs

- Schema and validation of column and row data

- Excel and Gdocs interoperability

One path I think you could go to accomplish this would be DuckDB which creates a programming interface that LLMs could use and interoperability with Excel and Google Docs via plugins.

Not sure if it is better to create from scratch rebuilds of the spreadsheet UX or rely on existing spreadsheet apps for that.

All that being said for any work I do I think I would want my data an LLM is operating on to be more structured and constrained than a text file or even a spreadsheet without cell validation.
