Miss Excel's new Web3 education platform is powered by Content Blockchain pioneer, Eluvio, and launched today at https://missexcelworld.com. 

The initial offer includes a first edition NFT with Miss Excel's "BING AI GUIDEBOOK" – a powerful resource for anyone looking to leverage artificial intelligence to save time and be more productive. It provides exclusive access to written guides including "Miss Excel's Guide to Leveraging AI with Microsoft 365" and "Miss Excel's Quick Start Guide for Using the New Bing."

To purchase Miss Excel's new "BING AI GUIDEBOOK" for only $5, fans create a secure, easy-to-use media wallet that acts as a digital vault and enables consumers to stream and purchase the content via credit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or crypto currency. 

Miss Excel, Kat Norton, energetically teaches about Microsoft Excel and other software to individuals, businesses, and educational institutions. She has grown a community of over 1 million people on TikTok and Instagram (@miss.excel) through viral Excel trick videos infused with creativity, music, and dance. Kat was recently awarded the Microsoft MVP Award and was featured in Business Insider, CNBC, Fox, Bloomberg, The Times, and Daily Mail as a pioneer in the "Excel Influencer" space. Kat was also named a Top Social Media Influencer by Forbes. 

"My audience is continually looking to get the most out of their software in ways that are both entertaining and easy to understand – and right now, all eyes are on Bing AI," said Miss Excel. "As a trainer, I'm proud to offer this new program to meet that need, and as a content creator, I'm particularly excited to launch my first Web3 initiative with Contend and Eluvio."
