About this tag
The structured outputs tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft Excel's integration of generative AI directly into the spreadsheet's formula engine. Discussions focus on the in-cell Copilot feature and the =COPILOT() function, which allow users to write natural-language prompts that are converted into live formulas or structured outputs like spilled arrays. These outputs recalculate automatically as source data changes, treating AI-generated results as native Excel functions. The tag highlights how structured outputs from AI models are becoming a core part of productivity tooling, moving beyond sidebars or separate apps into the formula bar itself.
