It helps teams get instant answers from their data without touching Google Sheets.

Ask a question like “Who hasn’t paid?” or “Show me June leads” and this AI agent takes care of the rest. It reads your request, searches the spreadsheet, and sends back a clean, readable answer in chat. Built in n8n with Google Sheets and OpenAI, it handles everything behind the scenes, from filtering to formatting, so you don’t have to.

It saves time, avoids errors, and keeps your team moving.

The old way?
Done manually.

Here’s what the old process looked like:
Scroll through tabs just to find one number
Rewrite filters every time someone asks something new
Copy-paste answers into email or chat
Wait on a teammate to “pull the latest data”
Second-guess the results because something always felt off
It slowed everyone down. What should have been a quick answer turned into a bottleneck, costing time, energy, and trust in the numbers.

The new way?
Fully automated.

With this automation, the entire process gets handled for you:
Understand questions like “Who hasn’t paid?” or “Show me June leads”
Search, filter, and format the right data automatically
Send answers directly into chat
Skip opening Google Sheets entirely
Run 24/7 without breaking formulas or needing help
Now your team gets instant answers they can trust, without stopping what they’re doing. Decisions are faster. Work feels lighter.

How the Automation Comes Together

Behind the scenes, a few tools quietly take care of the heavy lifting so everything runs smoothly.

n8n orchestrates the entire workflow and ensures each step gets handled in order without interruption.

GPT-4.1 Mini extracts the user’s intent and applies filters and logic, while the Google Sheets module pulls only the matching rows based on the request.

We automate, you accelerate

We'll handle the tech so you don't have to.

You don’t need to set up or learn how automation works.
Our AI agents are built to run fully hands-off, like a clone that handles the repetitive tasks for you.

Need something custom? We’ll handle it all including:

What is prompt writing and optimization?

It is the process of crafting and refining instructions for AI so it understands the task, delivers accurate results, and formats the output exactly how you need it.
What we do exactly?
Understand your context and use case
Help optimize and rewrite your prompts
Test and refine outputs until it’s working perfectly

What is automation flow design and testing?

This is where we map out how your AI agent behaves: when it runs, what it checks, how it reacts, and what to do if something fails. We don’t just build it. We test it end to end.
What we do exactly?
Design the full logic and decision tree
Add fallback steps for edge cases
Run multiple rounds of testing before launch

What are tool integrations?

We connect your AI agent to the tools you already use. Email, spreadsheets, CRMs, databases, APIs, and more. Everything stays in sync without you needing to copy and paste a thing.
What we do exactly?
Identify which tools your agent needs to talk to
Set up reliable two-way connections
Ensure smooth data flow across systems

What is delivery setup?

Delivery setup means we make sure your AI’s output gets exactly where you need it. Whether that's your inbox, a Google Sheet, your Slack channel, or a CRM.
What we do exactly?
Configure where and how outputs get delivered
Format results so they’re ready to use
Schedule timing or triggers for delivery

What is ongoing maintenance and updates?

AI agents aren't set and forget. We handle updates to prompts, workflows, and integrations so your system keeps working as your needs change.
What we do exactly?
Monitor performance and catch issues early
Update logic, prompts, or tools as needed
Keep everything running behind the scenes

Let us handle it for you.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered the usual questions. Got a unique one? Send us an email

Do I need to know formulas or write code to use this?

Nope. You just ask your question in plain English. The agent figures out what you mean, pulls the data, and sends it back. No formulas. No scripts. No “tech skills” required.

Can it handle follow-up questions?

Yes. It remembers the conversation. You can say, “Show me tenants in Region A,” then follow up with “Only the ones who haven’t paid,” and it’ll know what you mean.

What kind of spreadsheet can I use this with?

Anything with clean column headers. Whether it's payments, tenant leads, project tasks, or sales data, if it's in Google Sheets, this agent can query it. Just connect it and go.

Built to be Cloned

You can take this exact setup, connect your own spreadsheet, and have a working query assistant running in minutes. It’s built for any team that lives in Google Sheets, whether sales, ops, real estate, or anyone who needs quick answers from messy data.

Instead of copying filters or hunting through tabs, you just ask your question. The agent searches, finds, and replies with clean results in plain language.

It’s ready to use, easy to tweak, and gets rid of the slow back and forth of manual lookups.
