• Default Prompt This prompt is used when you click the Run XLlama button in the Excel ribbon. It’s the main instruction you give to the model (e.g., "Summarize this data in one sentence").

• Default System Prompt This defines the AI's behavior and tone. Unlike the default prompt, it doesn’t get replaced per run. For example: You are a helpful AI assistant who explains things clearly and concisely.

• AI Output Sheet Name When you run XLlama, the add-in creates a new sheet in the workbook with this name and places the AI's response there.
