Sheetsbase - AI formulas generator and shortcuts for Google Sheets

Sheetsbase is a Chrome extension that helps you work faster in Google Sheets. It lives in your chrome browser’s side panel, so everything you need stays right next to your sheet.
Use AI to generate formulas from plain English and understand existing formulas with simple explanations. No guessing. No tab switching. It also includes searchable directories of formulas and keyboard shortcuts, so you can find what you need instantly.

@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.
Nice product 😄
@aashu0148 Thank you! Really appreciate the support 😊
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 👍
The sidebar AI formula assistant is a practical design—generating and explaining formulas without switching tabs, especially useful for complex nested scenarios. Key points to watch: formula accuracy, contextual understanding (e.g., interpreting column headers), and data privacy handling. If it supports custom formula libraries and team sharing, it could be a collaboration game‑changer. Installed with the discount code, testing in real workflows this week.
@nancelu Thanks for the thoughtful feedback. Accuracy, context, and privacy are top priorities for us.
Custom formula libraries and team sharing are on our roadmap, and we’re excited to see how it fits into real workflows this week.
I wanted to test the tool. Unfortunately, without success. It was not possible to log in with my Google account!
I also don't like it when no information about the price is provided.
@carsten_braun Pushed a fix. The new version is out.
@atmiya Great. Thank you. It's working again now.
Cool launch! How does this compare to Google's built-in `=AI` functionality?
@wilco_kruijer1 Google’s =AI is great for quick help. Sheetsbase stays in a side panel and adds a searchable formula/shortcuts directory for quick access.
@wilco_kruijer1 @atmiya @wilco_kruijerI haven't looked into the product yet, but if it includes features like supplying custom names and formulas, preserving certain defaults, and having a context of sheet content, it could be more productive. like a single tool to handle all of my sheet tasks. such as coloring the values that are off, and all
Cool idea! How long did it take to build?
@freeonlinetools 1 week.
Much needed! Congrats on the product and the launch.
We've spotted a similar pain point for our early user base with CoreSight. It can take too long until one manages to craft their Google Sheets files to help them analyze the data effectively, spot patterns, and reach relevant conclusions. These types of extensions are a true goldmine for those who spend their days on data.
Do you plan to expand to other tools from the Google ecosystem as well? Docs, for example, also has some formulas that can help you do things faster, but of course, not as many as Google Sheets.
@andreitudor14 Thank you, really appreciate that. Yes, expanding to other Google tools is on our radar.
Sheets is the focus right now since the pain is strongest there, but Docs and others are definitely something we want to explore next.
@atmiya The tool seems to be down. I could not log in using my Google account.
@john_businesss Pushed a fix. The new version is out.
