SheetAI v3 — AI Agent, Batch Processing & New Sidebar

This is our biggest update ever. You can now chat with an AI agent directly inside Google Sheets, process hundreds of rows with one click using batch mode, and drag & drop images for instant data extraction. The entire sidebar has been redesigned with a cleaner, tabbed layout.

AI Agent

Chat with AI directly inside Google Sheets. Ask questions, brainstorm ideas, get help writing formulas, or have a back-and-forth conversation — all without leaving your spreadsheet.

  1. 1Open any Google Sheet
  2. 2Go to Extensions → SheetAI App → Launch
  3. 3Click the "Agent" tab in the sidebar
  4. 4Type your question or prompt and hit Enter
  5. 5The AI responds in the chat — you can ask follow-up questions
A
1
You: "Write a VLOOKUP formula to match order IDs from Sheet2"
2
Agent: =VLOOKUP(A2, Sheet2!A:C, 3, FALSE) — this looks up...

Batch Processing

Previously, running AI on 100 rows meant copying a formula into each cell — hitting Google Sheets' daily quota limit (20K calls for Gmail, 100K for Workspace), waiting for timeouts, and paying for retries. Batch mode solves all of this.

  1. 1Write your SHEETAI formula in the first row (e.g. =SHEETAI("Write a description for: " & A1))
  2. 2Open the SheetAI sidebar → "AI Formulas" tab → click "Batch Process"
  3. 3Select the range of rows you want to process (e.g. A1:A500)
  4. 4Click Start — batch mode processes rows sequentially, staying under rate limits automatically
  5. 5Watch the progress bar. Pause anytime, resume later, or retry only the failed rows
  6. 6Results are written incrementally — you see outputs appearing as each row completes
⚡

Faster

Process 500 rows in minutes instead of hours of manual copy-paste

🛡️

No quota issues

Stays under Google's daily URL fetch limit (20K/day for Gmail) by processing sequentially with smart delays

💰

Save money

Auto-retry on failures means you don't pay twice for the same row. Pause and resume without losing progress

🔄

Reliable

If a row fails due to a timeout or rate limit, batch mode retries it automatically — no manual intervention needed

Image Analysis

Drag and drop an image into the AI Agent chat to extract data from it. Works great for tables in screenshots, receipts, business cards, or any visual data.

  1. 1Open the Agent tab in the SheetAI sidebar
  2. 2Drag an image from your desktop into the chat area (or click the attach button)
  3. 3Type what you want to do: "Extract the table from this image" or "Read the total from this receipt"
  4. 4The AI analyzes the image and returns structured data you can paste into your sheet

New Sidebar Design

The sidebar is now organized into 3 clean tabs so everything is easy to find.

  1. 1Agent tab — chat with AI, attach images, quick-action chips
  2. 2AI Formulas tab — browse all SHEETAI functions, run batch jobs
  3. 3Settings tab — manage API keys for OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek all in one place

Model Search

Quickly find and switch between 14+ AI models from 5 providers. No more scrolling through long dropdowns.

  1. 1Open the sidebar and look for the model selector
  2. 2Type to search: "gpt", "claude", "gemini", "grok", or "deepseek"
  3. 3Click to select — your next formula will use that model
