LLMs are not able to replace Excel in their current state. See this simple accounting test: https://accounting.penrose.com/ - errors compound over time. This is the case even with small datasets. For massive corporate datasets it's useless (try asking Gemini to summarise a Google Sheet).

Until there is a fix for this (not clear there ever will be), Excel will be necessary.

Word will probably become a different, more collaborative product. Notion-esque.

Powerpoint...I would love if it disappeared but ultimately if you have to present something, you need to have done the work.
