Bespoke Excel Automation: Building Custom Macros for Businesses Using AI
Businesses waste hours on repetitive Excel tasks — this service delivers custom scripts and macros built precisely to their needs.
The service involves taking commissions from businesses or sole traders who need to automate specific tasks in Excel. Using AI tools (GPT-4o) alongside VBA or Office Scripts expertise, the provider delivers working macros or cloud scripts. Optionally, you can offer a client portal for script management, integration with external systems via Make.com or Power Automate, and documentation via Notion. The business can operate as a project-based service or as a recurring subscription for ongoing automation management and development.
Most small and medium-sized businesses in the UK spend a significant portion of their working week copying data between spreadsheets, manually compiling reports and firing off emails from Excel tables. Off-the-shelf templates don't solve the problem, and internal IT teams rarely have capacity for bespoke automation work.
