THE PROBLEM

When I was working in Australia as a Guest Services Agent (front desk), I remember at the end of every shift I had to:

• Fill data into Excel files
• Fill data into the CRM system
• Copy-paste back and forth between systems
• Manually enter the same information multiple times

It was a very long process. Repetitive. Tedious. Every single shift.

And I thought: there has to be a better way.

THE SOLUTION: Natural Language Data Entry

Today, everything has improved. The efficiency of every task has increased dramatically.

It's now possible to use Claude + Excel (or Google Sheets) to perform these tasks in a very fast way - just by giving a prompt in natural language.

What this means:

Instead of manually copying data cell by cell, you can:

• Describe what you want in plain English
• The AI populates the spreadsheet for you
• Format, organize, calculate - all automatic

This is the same thing with CSV files, Google Sheets, and even CRM systems that connect to spreadsheets.
