Every button, menu, and formula in GridCraft is a <strong>command callable by an AI agent<\/strong> Through an MCP server: the assistant can read a range of cells, insert a chart, or create a pivot table without going through the interface. The same goes for WordCraft, with about 390 commands, and for DeckCraft.
