@atmiya Love the “stay in context” angle - side panel is exactly where this should live. The killer feature for me would be trust: when it generates a formula, does it also explain it in plain English and show a couple tiny examples so I can sanity-check it before I paste? Also curious how you handle messy cases like locale separators, dates, and array formulas - that’s where most helpers usually fall apart. Congrats on the launch!

@dmitry_petrakov Yes, it explains formulas in plain English with small examples before you paste.
We also handle tricky cases like locales, dates, and array formulas.

This should absolutely be the product of the day.

@paulgeller Thank you so much, that really means a lot 🙏
Love the “no tab switching” idea — that’s honestly where most spreadsheet time gets wasted.
Tried a similar workflow before and having formulas + explanations right beside the sheet makes learning much faster, not just faster work. Clean and practical tool for daily users 👍

This looks useful overall. I feel adding more real examples could help people like me trust the formula explanations faster. Seeing how it handlees messy sheets would be nice.

@maklyen_may That’s great feedback, thank you. We’re planning to add more real, messy examples so people can sanity-check and build trust faster.
Hello team, I came across this while browsing and paused because I live inside Google Sheets. My workflow often slows down when formulas get complex.
Sheetsbase
@stephane_thrasher Thanks for checking it out! That slowdown with complex formulas is exactly what we’re trying to fix by keeping help and explanations right next to your sheet.

@steve_weatherby Totally relate. Sheetsbase is built for exactly that moment when formulas get complex, helping you generate and understand them without leaving
The idea is solid but I do wonder about accuracy. My concern is whether explanations always match what the formula actually does.
Sheetsbase
@candy_portuondo That’s a fair concern. We’re careful to keep explanations grounded in what the formula actually does, and we encourage users to sanity-check with examples. Accuracy is a big focus for us, and we’re actively improving it with real-world feedback.
Sheetsbase
@candy_portuondo That’s totally fair. We keep explanations tied directly to what the formula actually does, and we encourage checking with small examples. Accuracy is a big focus and we’re improving it with real-world cases people share.
This reminded me of how often I forget what a formula means after a few weeks. My future self would definitely appreciate clearer explanations.
Sheetsbase
@shameka_fabros That’s exactly why we built the explanation layer.
So when you come back weeks later, your future self doesn’t have to reverse-engineer the formula again.
The focus on staying in context stands out. My productivity improves when tools support focus instead of pulling me away.

@christian_onochie Thank you, that’s exactly what we’re optimizing for. Keeping everything in context so you stay focused inside your sheet.
