The problem it solves

You've got answers to team or business questions buried in a spreadsheet, but digging through columns and rows to find them takes time, and not everyone on your team is comfortable with spreadsheets.

Who it fits

Teams and business owners who track data in Google Sheets but want answers without digging through rows.

How it works

  1. You type a question into a chat window
  2. AI figures out what data it needs from the sheet
  3. It pulls just the relevant columns or rows, not the whole spreadsheet
  4. AI reads the results and replies with a plain-English answer
What you get

Spreadsheet answers without touching a formula

Ask a question about your spreadsheet in plain English and get a clear answer pulled from exactly the rows and columns that matter.

What you get

A direct, conversational answer pulled from your own spreadsheet data.

What you need

A Google account and an OpenAI account.

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.
