We just launched and we would love your feedback, especially from finance teams and analysts who live in…

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) →…
