Problem
Financial modeling in traditional spreadsheet tools is time-consuming and error-prone, requiring users to manually write complex formulas, trace calculation flows, and cross-reference source data. This slows down analysis and makes it difficult for teams to understand and audit model logic, especially as workbooks grow in complexity.
Solution
Carousel provides an AI-powered spreadsheet platform that enables users to build, edit, and understand financial models using natural language commands. The tool features context-aware chat that references specific cells and ranges, plus an auto-continue mode that lets Carousel construct models autonomously in the background. Users can select any range or chart and press Ctrl+Enter to quickly modify or improve it, while an instruction history helps cut repetitive work down to seconds. The platform also offers detailed formula breakdowns with step-by-step explanations, letting users walk through inputs and outputs of each cell. File context allows users to add source files to chats, with smart data retrieval and accurate citations supporting model transparency.
Target Audience
Primary users are financial analysts, investment professionals, and FP&A teams who build and maintain complex financial models and need faster, more transparent workflows.
