How Does the AI Work?

Pipedreamer uses LLMs, which generate text based on some input. If the output text is "readCells(A1:A10)", our software will send the the values in cells A1:A10 back to the LLM as an input. This and other "Tool Calls" allow the LLM to be more than a chatbot.

  • We print out a readable version of each tool call - "Writing to cells" instead of "writeCells(A1:A10)"
  • Green dots mean that the tool call worked
  • Red dots mean that something went wrong
  • Tools include: read and write to cells, set formatting, edit charts, and more!
  • We are adding more tools all the time!
