   Sourcetable – AI Spreadsheet and Data Platform▲188

   Hi HN! I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (https://sourcetable.com). Sourcetable is an AI-native spreadsheet that syncs with all your data. Users pair with an AI copilot that helps them do their spreadsheet work, as well as more database-centric analysis and SQL. Soucetable syncs with databases including Postgres, MySQL, and MongoDB, and over 100+ business applications including Stripe, Zendesk, Hubspot, Quickbooks and Google Analytics. That data is available in a spreadsheet, and any models you build automatically update in near-real-time as new data flows in. The core primitives…

   Sourcetable – "Cursor for Spreadsheets"▲5

   Hi HN! I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (https://sourcetable.com). Sourcetable is a web-based spreadsheet that lets users pair with AI to do better, faster work. If you spend a lot of time in spreadsheets doing fairly repetitive grunt work, there's a good chance Sourcetable can massively increase your productivity so you can spend your time on more interesting things. There are two ways people primarily interact with AI inside Sourcetable: the sidebar (CMD + \), which is great for document or range-based analysis, and the command bar (CMD + K), which is handy for cell-based…

   Sourcetable - AI spreadsheet▲49

   We built what we're calling "operational spreadsheets" – spreadsheets that can actually execute actions across external systems, not just calculate and display data. The core idea: spreadsheets have been passive tools for 40 years. You put data in, formulas process it, you export it, manually move it somewhere else, repeat. We added bidirectional API integration with natural language commands, so the spreadsheet itself can send emails, update databases, orchestrate workflows across services – autonomously. Think of it as the evolution from VisiCalc → Excel → Google Sheets (multi-user) →…

   Superagents – connect spreadsheets to any database, API or MCP server▲35

   Hi HN, I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable (https://sourcetable.com). Today, we’re launching Superagents. You can now connect your spreadsheet to any database, API or MCP server on the Internet. All of that data is available inside your spreadsheet, and you can use AI to analyze it and build models, reports and visualizations. The reason I started the company is because I spent 10 years at startups across engineering and operations roles and realized that Excel and Sheets weren't architected for the modern information environment. This creates a tremendous amount of nuisance and…

    Sourcebot, an open-source Sourcegraph alternative▲259

    Hi HN, We’re Brendan and Michael, the creators of Sourcebot (https://github.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot). Sourcebot is an open-source code search tool that allows you to quickly search across many large codebases. Check out our demo video here: https://youtu.be/mrIFYSB_1F4, or try it for yourself on our demo site here: https://demo.sourcebot.dev While at prior roles, we’ve both felt the pain of searching across hundreds of multi-million line codebases. Using local tools like grep were ill-suited since you often only had a handful of codebases…

ExcelDashboard is here to boost your productivity! Why did we build this? Back in my previous company, we were constantly asked for data-driven insights and long reports.

    Pane▲188

    Hi HN, I built Pane, a spreadsheet-native agent that operates directly on the grid (cells, formulas, references, ranges) instead of treating spreadsheets as text. Most spreadsheet AI tools fail because they: - hallucinate formulas - lose context across edits - can't reliably modify existing models Pane runs inside the spreadsheet environment and uses the same primitives a human would: selecting cells, editing formulas, inserting ranges, reconciling tables. I launched it on Product Hunt this weekend and it unexpectedly resonated, which made me curious whether this approach actually holds up…
