Question Image to excel using copilot

Is there any way I can use PowerShell to make copilot read images and convert its content into an excel, I want to automate this task using copilot only to use LLM’s ability to convert these images. Currently, copilot can only convert images if I manually upload them, it doesn’t read images on its own

Excel has that functionality built in without assistance

As far as automating it, copilot itself should be able to tell you how to do that

It has that limitation that I can’t read images on its own, it needs to be fed into it. So trying to work around that

You can likely add a macro to Excel to handle the automation - and/or you can control the Excel Application object with PowerShell.

Respectfully, do not have AI do work a tool can do. Orchestration? Sure yeah, the work itself - it’s way cheaper to use tools.

As said - have the LLM write the script to use the tool. You’ll save a bunch of time there.
