AI completions

As you type a formula, Expanse predicts the most likely complete formula and shows it as a suggestion under the cell. Press Tab to accept it.

This is the AI counterpart to the plain function-name autocomplete: instead of listing names that match, it reads the cells around you and proposes the whole formula.

  1. Start editing a cell and type = to begin a formula.
  2. Pause for a moment. A small AI suggestion popover appears under the cell with a predicted formula and a Tab hint.
  3. Press Tab to accept. The suggestion fills the cell editor and you stay in edit mode, so you can tweak it before committing.
  4. Keep typing to refine, or press Enter to commit the cell.

To dismiss a suggestion, just keep typing a different formula, or press Enter to commit what you have (Enter never accepts the suggestion for you).

The prediction is based on the formula you’ve typed so far plus the cells around the one you’re editing, including both their values and their formulas. So in a column of =B2*C2, =B3*C3, …, starting =B12* will usually predict the rest.

AI completions use the same model you’ve configured for the agent, so there’s no separate setup or API key. If no model is configured, the feature stays quiet and nothing appears.

It runs in the desktop app. It is not available in the in-browser (WASM) build yet.
