Is there AI for Google Sheets?

Flex's short answer

Google Sheets has its own AI, called Gemini, on plans that include it. If you don't have it, a chat AI next to your sheet works too: describe your columns and ask for the formula.

✱ Flex's tips

Gemini, or a chat next to your sheet.

1

Look for Gemini in Sheets

It can write formulas, on plans that have it.

2

No Gemini? Use a chat

Formulas from Claude or ChatGPT paste right in.

3

Say "Google Sheets"

A few formulas differ from Excel.

4

Work sheet? Check first

Ask what's allowed before adding anything.

Try this in your own Claude or ChatGPT

I'm working in Google Sheets. My columns: [list each column letter and what's in it]. I want to [what you're trying to do]. Give me a formula that works in Google Sheets, tell me which cell it goes in, and explain each part in one line.

Before you paste work stuff into any AI, check what your company allows.
