Wraith Sheets

Edit and analyze Google Sheets easily by talking to AI

April 13, 2023 Hello, World!

I see a fair amount of Google Sheets add-on out there that's basically a GPT wrapper. This is cool and all but forces users to do things like:

=GPT_LIST(temperature=,presence_penalty=,prompt=)

Which is a lot of work for me.

So I was wondering if I could make a conversational Google Sheets addon that can convert your natural language into actual actions that can:

  • Edit spreadsheets
  • Give you analysis on spreadsheet data
  • (later) parse webpages in cells and extract good info
  • (later) draft and send personalized emails

Check it out here.

    Sounds great. Personally, I prefer PSQL mixed with JS/TS over spreadsheets (csv).

    This is a cool idea! Have you started building it yet? I’d be curious to know how your architecting the project. For example is it possible to make GPT calls directly from a google sheet plug-in or will you need a backend? Also what is your plan for the UI? Would you provide a chat interface or maybe voice? Just a curious developer and this sparked my interest 🙂

      Oops -- it has already been built! Edited the post to add a link. Thanks for making me aware of this!

      You make GPT calls indirectly via a chat interface (it shows up as a sidebar on your Google Sheets).

      Right now it is just a text chat but hopefully voice if there's large demand for it. Probably would do it after I refine current features + allow for more flexible features like scraping websites though.

I don't really like looking up google formulas nor be stuck with a blank spreadsheet where I don't have a clue on how to do the templates (especially for workouts). This helps expedite doing spreadsheets.
