You may see that we try to suggest follow-up questions or question improvements where we think better context-in will result in a better result-out. Curious what will happen if you modify the question to be more explicit? I have seen that P

This is 100% the correct insight in my experience. TL;DR, most technical people massively overestimate the technical / data abilities of regular spreadsheet users. We find simple use cases are best, and with each new LLM release the UX

Would love to but unfortunately there are pieces we can't open-source for various reasons. We'll open source bits and pieces over time, and generally are excited to start blogging about AI & technical learnings now that the pr

There is a separate answer here which is many (most?) SMBs can't afford technical folk, so the ability integrate data at all , talk to it and model it (using SQL or AI), is already a big step forward for them. My personal use case ten

Yes some integrations are excellent (hey Stripe : ), some are terrible (no comment on who). We're finding that LLMs increasingly able to fill the gap around organizing data schema for that initial data prep piece where someone has to b

Agree. A general thesis I have is that the API-ification of the web fragmented business information, and with every new SaaS tool we fragment our company's data further. The trend at all company sizes is to be increasingly analytical,

Can you email me -- eoin@sourcetable.com -- more about the Excel macros? This might be easy to help you out with agents. A lot of compute-intensive stuff that takes ages in Excel is nearly instant in Sourcetable because we are leveraging cl

Yes actually! My cousin is a mining engineer so I spent a bunch of time playing around with mining data during testing. Turns out all New South Wales government data is public. Right now you can talk to any CSV or database using LLMs. I&#x2

At risk of poking the bear, they should have done this decades ago. Except for LLMs they have had everything they needed to bundle this stack into a single product solution; this would be much better for users. And yes! We're definitel

Mostly Fivetran, a little Airbyte, and a few custom integrations. Would love to add Streak (can you get it into Fivetran? We can usually crank those integrations out within an hour.)

Thanks _hfqa! We think there's massive potential here. It's a big platform shift, and spreadsheets weren't really impacted by the mobile or cloud compute waves, so it's a space long-overdue for disruption. (The last shif

A very common use case we see is SMBs having outgrown their spreadsheet but not wanting to move to a full-blown BI tool. They want the power, but not the change in interface/medium. I didn't go into details above but a nice thing

Yes we don't yet have the full auto-suggest magic that Sheets offers, but you can click-drag for auto-complete the same way Excel offers. We released Sourcetable today with the AI chatbot & AI data analysis features, but a very lim

Category Comparison (table-based solutions): "How are you different than Retool/Airtable/Coda/Notion/Zapier Tables, etc." The primary difference vs table-based solutions is that Sourcetable is a spreadsheet in

The NPS API is still missing a bookings API, which is the carrot that was needed for developers to create new and useful experiences.
