The problem it solves

You spend time hunting through spreadsheet rows to find totals, update entries, or check numbers by hand. Every small data request means stopping your work to open a sheet and dig through columns. It slows down decisions that should take seconds.

Who it fits

Small business owners and teams who track orders, tasks, or lists in Google Sheets.

How it works

  1. You send a chat message describing what you need
  2. An AI assistant reads the relevant rows in your Google Sheet
  3. It calculates totals, averages, or other figures on the spot
  4. It updates or removes rows based on your request
  5. You get an instant answer or updated sheet back
What you get

Sheet answers you get without opening a formula bar

You can chat with an assistant that reads, updates, and calculates your Google Sheets data for you in plain language.

What you get

An updated Google Sheet and instant answers to data questions, without manual lookups.

What you need

A Google Sheets 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.
