Who it's for

  • Spreadsheet users who want to generate formulas or automate tasks with natural-language requests.
  • Data analysts working with CSV or XLSX files who need exploratory, correlation, or sentiment analysis.
  • Sales teams reviewing spreadsheet performance data, such as salesperson totals and rankings.

Not the right fit if…

  • Teams working with files larger than 50MB: the largest stated file-size limit is 50MB on the Plus plan.

How it fits your workflow

Start with a CSV or XLSX file, then ask a question or give a natural-language instruction. The page's example asks which salesperson performed best and returns the top salesperson, sales totals, and a chart.

Use the listed analysis workflows for correlations, exploratory analysis, KPIs, sentiment, text extraction, or web and media trends. The page says generated charts and files can be downloaded on Plus.
