The problem it solves

Getting a simple answer out of a big spreadsheet, like a total by region or an average by month, usually means writing formulas or asking someone on your team to pull the number for you. You want the number now, not after a back and forth.

Who it fits

A business or team that needs quick answers from spreadsheet data without formulas.

How it works

  1. You ask a question in plain English, like average sales by region
  2. AI figures out which column, calculation, and grouping you mean
  3. The system runs the calculation on your Google Sheet data
  4. You receive a clear, structured answer
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your own data

You type a plain English question and get a clear answer calculated directly from your spreadsheet, no formulas required.

What you get

A direct answer to your question, calculated from your spreadsheet data.

What you need

A Google account with Sheets access and a Google Gemini API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
