The problem it solves

Your team lives in chat, but important updates sit unnoticed in a spreadsheet until someone remembers to check it. You end up manually copying rows over just to keep everyone informed.

Who it fits

Small teams that track work in a spreadsheet and want updates visible without opening the sheet.

How it works

  1. Triggered when a row is added or updated in Google Sheets
  2. Reads the new or changed row data
  3. Formats the data into a readable message
  4. Posts the message straight to your team chat channel
What you get

Spreadsheet updates visible in team chat instantly

Updates to your spreadsheet show up in your team chat automatically, keeping everyone in the loop without anyone opening the sheet.

What you get

A chat message summarizing the new or updated spreadsheet row.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a team chat app that accepts incoming messages.

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.
