AI integrations on Google Spreadsheets

Google just dropped a bomb inside Sheets: an =AI() formula that lets you type plain-English prompts instead of formulas. You can now say, “Write a thank-you email” and boom — it writes one for you based on your spreadsheet data.

Marketing analysis

This is a product story told through clarity. One tiny visual of a formula, and we instantly “get” the power. No jargon. No fluff. Just a clear demo showing life before-and-after AI.

Why it works

• Shows value in 3 seconds
• Uses a real UI screenshot (instant credibility)
• Relates to users’ daily frustrations (formulas are hard!)
• Feels like magic but stays practical

Examples

• ChatGPT when first released: typing plain words for complex tasks
• Canva’s “Magic Write” feature letting anyone auto-generate copy
• Notion AI simplifying workflows without new skills required
• Microsoft CoPilot doing everyday Excel tasks via prompts
