Prompting Sheets

Most spreadsheet templates are built for somebody else's process, which is why teams end up rebuilding structure, deleting columns and forcing their work into a shape that does not fit. Prompting Sheets takes the opposite approach: you answer a short set of questions about your project, and the add-on generates a project plan, to-do list or working sheet that matches your actual context. Because it runs inside Google Sheets, generated output lands in cells you can immediately edit, share and build on.

The add-on exposes its AI features as first-class spreadsheet primitives. You provide your own OpenAI API key, which means you control model costs and usage, and you drive generation through prompt templates you can save, reuse and customise with dynamic placeholders and conditional logic. A =PROMPT() function lets formulas call AI directly, a chatbot handles real-time data questions against your sheet, and supporting tools convert AI output to static text and build custom grids. There is also a library of searchable starting sheets and the ability to fetch and analyse data from websites.

Prompting Sheets is aimed at marketers, designers, planners, project managers, business professionals and educators — anyone who lives in Sheets and wants AI assistance without leaving it. A limited free tier covers an AI data context sheet and formula generation, while broader subscription tiers with unlimited AI sheets, prompt optimisation, audit reports and the chatbot are advertised. Note that an OpenAI API key is required, so the subscription is on top of whatever the user pays OpenAI.
