The problem it solves

You know the answer is somewhere in your spreadsheet, but writing the right formula or filter to find it takes time you don't have, especially for a one-off question. Non-technical team members often can't get the data themselves and have to ask someone else.

Who it fits

A business owner or manager who needs quick answers from a Google Sheet without knowing formulas or query syntax.

How it works

  1. You type a question in plain English through chat
  2. AI reads your sheet's column structure and translates the question into a spreadsheet query
  3. The system runs the query directly against your Google Sheet
  4. AI formats the result into a clear, readable answer
  5. You receive your answer, with the conversation remembered for follow-up questions

What you get

A direct, readable answer to your question, pulled live from your Google Sheet data.

What you need

A Google account with access to Google Sheets and an OpenAI 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.
