Show HN: Copilot Audit – PDF->Excel with AI

Copilot Audit is a lightweight Excel add-in that turns static PDFs and images into living spreadsheet data—no copy-paste, no window-switching, and no cloud upload. Drop a document into the workbook, Copilot Audit performs on-device OCR, and a side-panel lets you “snip” text, amounts or full tables straight into any cell. Each snip stores a clickable link and timestamp back to its source file, so evidence is always traceable. A built-in search bar scans every imported document, while the matching tool compares a worksheet range to selected PDFs and flags variances in seconds.

The add-in also ships with an AI chat agent: ask “Show discrepancies over €1 000” and it analyses the sheet, inserts formulas or reshapes tables—all inside native Excel. A sandboxed Python runtime (pandas / numpy) is scheduled for Q3 2025, giving power users deeper analytics without leaving the workbook.

Pricing (all features included, limits only on volume) Essential — €15 / user / month 50 docs / workbook, 200 OCR pages, 500 snips, 300 AI chats, 1 workspace, 30-day logs.

Growth — €25 Unlimited docs & snips, 2 000 OCR pages, 800 AI chats, 5 workspaces, 6-month logs, chat support 24 h.

Enterprise — €45 (50-seat min.) Soft cap 1 500 AI chats, SSO & SCIM, export API, 5-year logs, 100 MB PDFs, SLA 4 h & CSM.

A 14-day trial unlocks all features with Essential-level quotas and watermark exports; afterwards, the add-in becomes read-only until upgrade.

Copilot Audit is built for finance professionals who live in Excel—accountants, auditors, controllers, FP&A analysts—anyone who spends hours re-keying figures from invoices, contracts or statements. Competitors either focus only on extraction or sell AI chat as a separate tool; Copilot Audit delivers both in one ribbon, fully local, at a fraction of typical market pricing.
