The problem it solves

You or your team need answers from your spreadsheets, but building the right formula or pivot table takes time you don't have. Non-technical teammates end up waiting on whoever knows Excel best.

Who it fits

A small or mid-size business team that wants quick insights from Google Sheets without spreadsheet expertise.

How it works

  1. Someone asks a question in the chat
  2. The system pulls live data from your connected Google Sheets
  3. The data is combined into one view for the AI to analyze
  4. An AI model interprets the question against the data
  5. The person receives a plain English answer in the chat
What you get

Spreadsheet answers in plain English

You can ask questions about your spreadsheets in plain English and get a clear answer without touching a single formula.

What you get

A conversational answer to a business question, pulled straight from your spreadsheet data.

What you need

A Google Workspace account 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.
