Ask HN: Cursor-like AI tool for Excel power users
I'm looking for a "real" "Cursor for Excel/Google Sheets" kind of tool.
All my tries with Gemini/MS Copilot where just bad so far.

To make it easier to grab the user context inside of our own apps, together with Fernando and Claire we’ve built an SDK to perform screen capture & OCR. It’s written in Rust and runs on Mac, Windows & Linux.
We have published bindings for Node.js, to try the Node sample:
1. Git clone kontext21/k21-node-sample 2. Npm install 3. Npm run start
This will capture what’s on your screen and OCR the text to console.
Everything is local and there is no telemetry. It’s source-available so you can dig deeper if you are curious .
Any feedback is welcome as we are getting started with this

What's a the best API/library to take screenshot every X seconds, send them to my favorite LLM to analyze it further.
What stack/pipeline are other tools like the below using?

Situation: I have some source json, from some APIs/webhooks and some target json how I need to send it out
Complication: I need to transform it and re-map the fields. Depending on the complexity of the objects that might require some fiddling
Solution: I'd love a visual data mapper that allows me to
1. see the source and target spec 2. example values maybe even API descriptions 3. create simple transformation with Type/Javascript, JQ, JMESpath or similar 4. connect the target and source values visually 5. documentation - the visual aspect is important to help readers, as this is easier to understand/digest the integration, not only "build" it. Also it serves as a kind of todo-list. It's easy to see if something isn't mapped yet.
Any recommendations?
