Point at the Excel file on your screen and say what should change. How Incredible, Copilot in Excel and Claude for Excel compare on a Mac.
The bank statement is in one workbook, the open invoices are in another, and the payment advice PDFs are in a folder. Matching them by hand is an afternoon.
With Incredible on a Mac, you open the files, hold the fn key and say what you want. It works on the file open on your screen, and across other workbooks, PDFs and websites too. The recording above shows it asked to match a bank statement's payments against a list of open invoices.
Point at what you want changed and say it:
"Add a totals row to the bottom of that spreadsheet and bold the header."
Or start a file from nothing, as the Files guide shows:
"Create an Excel file tracking this quarter's marketing spend, with columns for date, channel, amount, and notes, and save it to my Desktop."
No copying and pasting, no uploading files, no detailed instructions. It works the same way in PowerPoint and on PDFs, and it does not need a Copilot licence or an add-in.
“It’s Copilot on steroids.”

Teach it once. Do the job while you talk Incredible through it, and it saves it as a task you can run by name or put on a schedule. See how teaching works.
Both live in a pane inside one workbook.
Copilot in Excel is Microsoft's AI in the ribbon. Microsoft's page lists Excel on Mac with edit, chat and plan modes, and says Copilot "might not be included with your Microsoft 365 subscription or available based on your organization's settings".
Claude for Excel is an add-in in a sidebar. Anthropic's documentation says it runs on Excel for Mac 16.46 or later and needs a Claude Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. It is made for financial models, and it does not support data tables, macros or VBA. How Incredible compares with Claude.
