Ask a question and get AI-researched web data in a spreadsheet

Chat with an AI research assistant that searches and scrapes the web, then organizes findings into a spreadsheet.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Researching a topic across multiple sites means opening search results, crawling through pages, and manually copying whatever's useful into a document. Doing that well takes real time, and it's easy to lose track of where each piece of information came from.

Who it fits

Analysts, researchers, and teams who need structured web research without doing the digging themselves.

How it works

  1. You ask a question in chat
  2. AI decides which web search and scraping tools to use for the request
  3. It searches and crawls the web, pulling in relevant content
  4. The findings are organized into a new spreadsheet with formatting
  5. You receive a structured dataset ready to review
What you get

Structured findings ready for your next decision

You can ask a question and get organized, structured findings from across the web delivered straight into a new spreadsheet.

What you get

A new spreadsheet of organized, sourced research results tied to your question.

What you need

A Google Gemini API key, a Google Sheets account, and accounts with the web search and scraping tools it uses.

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.
