Ask a direct question of the data—and check how the answer was calculated.

Illustrative idea, not a published runnable template. Grunt is prelaunch; live service is paused and live provider connections and outcomes remain unverified. The steps, providers, and outcomes below describe a concept.

For an analyst authorized to use a selected spreadsheet, retrieve current rows and prepare an answer to a natural-language question, including follow-up context where useful. A sheet may contain personal or commercially sensitive records, and an answer can use the wrong date range, formula, or denominator. Restrict access by role, define which tabs and fields are in scope, show calculations and missing-data caveats, verify results against the sheet, and keep business decisions and live edits with an accountable analyst.

Actual availability depends on published steps, supported connections, permissions, and provider approval.

What this workflow could do

Reads selected spreadsheet data and prepares conversational answers to questions about the current records.

Review points proposed in this idea

A plausible answer may use an incomplete range, wrong formula, or misread column. Show filters and calculations, check source rows, and do not change records or make consequential decisions from an unchecked result.

Proposed setup considerations

These are planning notes for the concept, not instructions for a currently available template.

  1. 01

    Limit workbook and field access

    Connect only approved sheets and use least-privilege read permissions.

  2. 02

    Document metric definitions

    Define columns, formulas, units, date handling, and missing-data behavior.

  3. 03

    Return traceable calculations

    Show source rows or calculation logic sufficient for an analyst to validate.

  4. 04

    Keep the assistant read-only by default

    Require explicit approval for any change to live spreadsheet data.

Read the prelaunch status

Published templates and verified customer availability remain pending.
