AI Add-ins for Excel

If you are like me and are interested in building solutions for clients who can benefit from AI technologies, it will be a good idea then to consider Excel. MS Excel is pervasive, people understand it, it is inexpensive, and it has tremendous analytical capabilities. And there are a lot of COTS solutions out there for it in the form of Add-ins. Examples are:

1. Neuranalyst @ www.cheshireeng.com/Neuralyst/nrlnfe.htm which is a general purpose neural network engine.

2. Data Intelligence Add-In @ http://www.aicomponents.com which is offering decision trees, clustering, association rules and feed-forward neural network algorithms

3. nn_Solve is a neural network model built with MS Excel. User will learn how easy it is to use a worksheet as a powerful forecasting tool @ http://www.xlpert.com/

4. NeuroXL Classifier is a neural network software tool for classifying data in Excel. There is also NeuroXL Predictor which is a neural network forecasting tool. Find them both @ http://www.neuroxl.com/
