The AI kept losing my Excel file. A third of my time went to re-feeding it.

He used the AI for two weeks of daily Excel updates. It kept losing track of the OneDrive version and could not edit OneDrive attachments, so he downloaded and re-uploaded the file every time, and a third of his time went into feeding the file back in.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.

How it works

  1. Uses the AI for daily Excel updates over two weeks
  2. It forgets the OneDrive version and cannot edit OneDrive attachments
  3. He downloads and re-uploads the file every time
  4. A third of his time goes into re-feeding it the file

Why it’s worth knowing

The app that was meant to update his spreadsheet could not keep hold of the file. He had to hand it back in every day.
