But AI tools today aren\u2019t well-equipped to read, navigate, and manipulate Excel files. Despite how powerful Excel is for humans, it\u2019s a friction point for digital coworkers.<\/p>\n<p>So, I started exploring alternatives and one thought came up:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I wonder if I could turn an Excel model into a real estate financial model web app using Lovable?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I decided to find out.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1100773\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1368\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-1030x451.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-768x336.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-705x309.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-450x197.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/inputs-dcf-web-app-1320x578.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1368px) 100vw, 1368px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Experiment: From Excel to Web App Using AI<\/h2>\n<p>I began with a basic real estate DCF model I&#8217;d built in Excel (it&#8217;s the <a title=\"Supercharge Excel with the \u2018Excel 4 CRE\u2019 Add-In \u2013 Now with AI (Updated Mar 2025)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/custom-excel-addin-for-real-estate\/\" rel=\"\">basic DCF that our Excel 4 CRE add-in<\/a> includes as a &#8216;Modeling Module&#8217;). I chose it because it has straightforward inputs (blue font), relatively simply calculations (black font), and a few key outputs like unlevered and levered IRRs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresincre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Basic-DCF.xlsx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to download the Basic DCF model used in this experiment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than jumping straight into prompting Lovable, I took an extra step to set up ChatGPT as my prompt assistant. I didn&#8217;t just dump screenshots and hope for the best &#8211; I made sure ChatGPT understood the context of the model.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the exact setup I used:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I want to build a web app that will replicate this basic real estate DCF model. I want to use a no-code solution (e.g., Lovable or Replit+V0) to pull this off. You will be my prompt assistant (or code assistant if we go with Replit), but to start allow me to share first the model and then the logic behind the model. Describe the details of this model.<\/p>\n<p>Note that blue font cells are required inputs \u2014 these will be entered by the user (or digital coworker eventually!). Black font cells are either labels or calculations \u2014 do your best to differentiate based on context what are calculations and what are labels.<\/p>\n<p>Then I&#8217;ll share the logic and we&#8217;ll see if you&#8217;re correct.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I also included two screenshots of model:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The layout of the Excel model (showing inputs, calculations, and outputs).<\/li>\n<li>The formulas view (using Ctrl + ~), so it could see how calculations flowed through the model.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ChatGPT then analyzed the structure, identified user inputs, calculations, and labels, and summarized its understanding back to me. Then, I asked ChatGPT to draft an initial prompt for Lovable that would recreate the model as a web app.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Looking for <strong>formal training on AI in CRE<\/strong> (and real estate financial modeling more broadly)?
