Google Sheets + Smart AI Workspace
Plenty of businesses run critical processes in a spreadsheet someone updates by hand every morning. I automate the update and leave Sheets as the familiar interface.
How I use Google Sheets
A lot of businesses run critical processes in a spreadsheet that someone updates by hand every morning. I automate the update. Sheets stays as the familiar interface; the copying, pasting, formatting, and cross-checking happens on its own.
I connect via the Google Sheets API with access scoped to the specific files, read rows as workflow inputs, write results back on a schedule or trigger, and add Claude where cells need interpretation rather than a formula.
For reporting, Sheets is often the last mile — the workflow does the data work and drops a clean, formatted tab your stakeholders already know how to read.
Google Sheetsis rarely the whole system — it's one connected piece of a workflow I scope, build, and run end to end. See how I build automation or read what AI automation actually costs in 2026. Curious what your manual version costs today? Estimate it with the ROI calculator.
What I automate with Google Sheets
- Auto-populate reports and dashboards from CRM, database, and API data on schedule
- Use sheet rows as triggers or inputs for larger workflows
- Replace manual copy-paste between tools with a scheduled sync
- Have Claude categorise, summarise, or QA rows that a formula can't handle
Example workflows I build
Morning numbers tab
Before the team logs on, a workflow pulls yesterday's sales, support, and finance figures, writes them to a formatted Sheet tab, and posts the headline changes to Slack with a short Claude-written commentary.
Row-triggered onboarding
Someone adds a client row to a Sheet. That kicks off account creation, a Notion project page, a welcome email draft, and a CRM record — the spreadsheet stays the simple front end.
List cleanup and enrichment
A pasted list of companies is deduped, validated, and enriched with firmographic data, and Claude flags the rows that look wrong or ambiguous for a human to check.
