Do you like spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets are like LLMs in many ways - they are an incredibly empowering tool for everyone.
I’m a huge fan of spreadsheets, so I went to look at which projects in the Competition applied Gemini to spreadsheets in different ways.
Let’s take a look! Vote for the ones you like.
Did you have one that caught your eye that I missed? Mention it!
Vodo Drive
Save data and ask questions in Google Sheets w/ text, voice, & images.
I’m biased with this one, since it’s mine. 
(Plus I hope the video is amusing and informative.)
But I think what’s significant about it is that it works with live Google Sheets - add data and you can ask about it immediately. Ask a question, and you can see (in the sheet) the formula it used to answer it. Take images and put them into spreadsheets - and it will figure out what goes where based on the spreadsheet. No special configuration required besides giving it permission to specific spreadsheets in Google Drive.
SheetChat
Talk to your Excel sheet to become 5x productive.
I thought this was an interesting approach - it takes the sheet, stores it in an SQL table, and then uses Gemini to create SQL queries that work against that table. There are some interesting quirks (the sheet isn’t live, and when you upload you have to specify data type), but I thought this was an interesting approach.
DataCat
Indexes CSV files and Google Sheets by vectoring data in Firebase
The video doesn’t make it clear how Gemini plays a role here, but I’m assuming it is using the embedding feature to create this index and storing that embedding in Firestore
Google Gemini Vision Script
vision to spread sheet
Unfortunately, I can’t read Korean (can someone help?) but it looks like it lets you upload an image and the image, plus information about it determined by Gemini, gets saved to a spreadsheet.
Invoices to Sheets Assistant
Extract & Organize Data From Invoices To Google Sheets Automatically
I liked this, and it has a clever step-by-step UI. Certainly makes things very very easy! I was a little concerned that they just suggest you make the spreadsheet writeable to everyone, but I know they can get past that with OAuth.
InvoiX
Extract & Organize Data From Invoices To Google Sheets Automatically
At least it says it does that. The demo showed a bunch of scanning… I think… but didn’t really show it going into Google Sheets. Or much else about the process.
Resheet
Transform your receipts into a spreadsheet.
Says it uses Google Cloud Vision to do the OCR, and then Gemini to turn this intro structure data before it saves it into the sheet. A slightly different approach.
Sheets AI
Generate spreadsheet formula 10 times faster with Sheets AI
Takes a completely different approach - instead of being live in the sheet, it helps you write better formulas or debug the ones that aren’t working.
