Figure 1 is showing an overview of the Lessons Learned Bot in Excel. One cell containing a paragraph is selected, and search results are displayed on a sidebar to the right. The sidebar is titled "Lessons Learned Bot Results." In this sidebar, you can see various titles and descriptions of relevant documents.
Lessons Learned Bot Excel Version

In near real-time, the Lessons Learned Bot, or LLB, brings lessons learned (LL) documents to users through a Microsoft Excel add-in application locally installed to search for LL content relevant to the text within the selected Excel cell. The application will encompass a corpus of documents, a trained Machine Learning (ML) model, built-in ML tools to train user’s documents, and an easy-to-use user interface to allow for the streamlined discovery of LL content.
