Numstro's AI is trained on Excel syntax and common use cases, but accuracy depends on how clearly you describe what you want to calculate. The AI analyzes your column headers and sample data to match your question to the right formula. Always test formulas in Excel before using them in production. If a formula doesn't work as expected, try rephrasing your question or checking the Formula Explainer to understand what it's trying to do.
Not currently. Numstro doesn't have user accounts or saved formulas yet. You can copy generated formulas and paste them into Excel or save them elsewhere. Saved formulas may be available in future paid tiers.
