Deepcell can help you with deadline tasks that require narrations, calculation and presentation at the same time, such as modeling, sales review, budget forecast and monthly report. DeepCell (both web app and agent plug-in) can create ready-to-use docs, spreadsheets, and slides—with sources and cheat sheets to help you explain. Furthermore, every edit can update related parts. The product is built on a newly designed document format (.deepcell), which is especially designed for system two tasks.
Converting back to native xlsx and pptx is what makes this workable for teams that live in Office. Does an edit made after export find its way back into the .deepcell file?
@neerajnathany yes, we can convert to workable files (ppt/doc/xlsx) files now, and your idea is exactly in our feature roadmap^^ will be launched every soon!
@neerajnathany good question! right now our agent will help identify the differences and write back, and we are developing plugins and roundtrip tool to automatically compare the difference. It will be live very soon.
@neerajnathany Yes! We're working on this feature right now! I'm so glad to know that we're building on the actual important features to the users. Appreciate your sharing very much.
@xwang146 thanks Jack, Mengqi and Amy! having the agent spot the differences and write them back already covers a lot, the automatic roundtrip will be really nice for teams passing files around 🙌
@xwang146 @neerajnathany Thank you for your feedback! If you are interested, it would be grateful that you can leave us your email address so that once we update the feature covering the automatic roundtrip we can send it to you^^
Our features for individual professionals are also live now, and feel free to use them without any subscription^^
@neerajnathany Sure! Currently the launched features are mostly for single-person's use, but in our roadmap we eventually want to make it smoothly being passed in the teams!
Last time a number in the plan changed I had to fix the sheet and then hunt that same number in the writeup. If the model and the memo are one .deepcell file, does the sentence update or only the cell?
@mostafahosseini Yes, we update both the numbers and the sentence^^
@mostafahosseini yes, exactly, the number in the sentences or slides is updated directly (actually there is no concept of cell, as all numbers are embedded with meanings, we track the number by its meaning definitions)
@mostafahosseini In the architecture we have the semantic layer and logically connect the numbers and texts so the whole sentence update!
The cheat sheets are a really nice touch. Half the stress of a monthly report is being asked "where does this number come from?" in the meeting and not having the answer ready. Congrats on the launch, DeepCell team!
@umair_builds indeed, we suffered a lot from similar situations so we built the product! Thank you for your comments!
@umair_builds thanks! and deepcell would also prepare possible questions and answers, also with tracable numbers.
@umair_builds Thank you!! Yes that's the pain point we've seen on us and on other people in the everyday work. I'm so happy you feel that's a useful feature!!
A number carrying its scenario and fact or forecast status is the part I like here. It makes the question “which version is this?” something the file could answer.
@oleksii_sekundant Yes! We actually apply the version control and git features in the file management. Based on this, we develop a new document format (.deepcell) to deal with system two problems^^Thank you!
@oleksii_sekundant thanks for trying and noticing the scenario and status details, actually they are one of embedded finance-oriented features that could relief office worker from their daily tasks.
@oleksii_sekundant Thank you! Yes version control is a common thing in the coding world now, however for the files that people use in other industries (finance, marketing, etc) they still deal with version controls all by hand. That's why we bring this new .deepcell file format which automatically record the versions of everything, especially numbers.
Congrats Mengqi, Jack and Amy on #1. The part about numbers carrying their own logic instead of cell refs caught my eye. When someone changes an assumption in the model, does the slide text that quotes that number update too, or does it flag the sentence for a human to reread?
@genedai we exactly do the both! We will show you the related updates and then you can approve them^^
@genedai Thank you for having the interests in our product!! Yes the slide text quotes that number update too! We believe that's very useful to our users. For some other related texts it may be flagged for a human to re-check.
@genedai thanks! Yes, not only side text, the charts, the documents, the logics and would remind you related content that may need updates.
Congrats on the launch! Linking spreadsheets, docs, and slides in one file is a problem a lot of us feel every week.
@jason_jiang333 Indeed, those problems really make us suffer as in our launching video without deepcell><
@jason_jiang333 Thank you!! Yes we feel that pain of people in different industries. It's not easy to link everything from the bottom, but we strongly believe it can benefit people everywhere once the problem can be solved, that's why we start on this journey!
@jason_jiang333 thanks, jumping across different windows is painful, even with AI, checking its result is painful too, so we tried to solve this from ground, so that we could solve to achieve traceable number and linked surfaces at file level.
Love seeing a productivity tool aimed at the "same change in every file" pain, not just another AI chat wrapper
@ysssss33 Thank you for the love!! Yes exactly we are hoping to solve the actual problem that's bothering people in the everyday work!
@ysssss33 We built this because we have really suffered from updating numbers or content across documents haha, so it would be also a great help to share DeepCell to your friends who might be suffering too ><
