In my previous role at a small startup, I frequently developed simple scripts to assist recruiters and marketing professionals in handling data processing tasks on Excel or CSV files. These tasks were typically straightforward and repetitive, stemming from the periodic export of data. This experience sparked the idea to create a straightforward tool dedicated to such functionalities(also mobile friendly, as they occasionally need to process data on their smartphones). There are powerful tools like Power Query and Tableau, but they often prove too complex for non-technical users to navigate…

OpenSheet▲86Hi folks. I've been doing some experiments on how LLMs could get more handy in the day to day of working with files (CSV, Parquet, etc). Earlier last year, I built https://datakit.page and evolved it over and over into an all in-browser experience with help of duckdb-wasm. Got loads of feedbacks and I think it turned into a good shape with being an adhoc local data studio, but I kept hearing two main things/issues: Why can't the AI also change cells in the file we give to it? Why can't we modify this grid ourselves? So besides the whole READ and text-to-SQL flows, what seemed…

Probly was built to reduce context-switching between spreadsheet applications, Python notebooks, and AI tools. It’s a simple spreadsheet that lets you talk to your data. Need pandas analysis? Just ask in plain English, and the code runs right in your browser. Want a chart? Just ask. While there are tools available in this space like TheBricks, Probly is a minimalist, open-source solution built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Handsontable, Hyperformula, Apache Echarts, OpenAI, and Pyodide. It's still a work in progress, but it's already useful for my daily tasks.

Hello HN! I've developed a tool named SheetSQL that allows you to query, join, export, and schedule your queries to Google Sheets through a straightforward SQL interface in the browser. This tool is a simple, first iteration of the idea, so I'm eager to receive feedback on it. You can contact me at taras [at] sheetsql.io :D. I'd love to find out if it could be useful for folks out there! As someone working in fintech, I constantly deal with sheets and often find it challenging to perform seemingly simple tasks like JOINs natively. However, I'm familiar with SQL, which inspired the creation…

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) →…
