The AI engine for Google Sheets™ & Docs™
SheetEngine runs AI on thousands of rows as server-side jobs — the exact cost shown before you click Run, results that land even after you close the tab, and zero token markup on your own keys.

Documented failure modes of formula-based AI add-ons
Radical cost transparency
Every bulk job starts with a dry run: five sample rows processed for real, actual outputs shown, and the projected total for the full range — down to the cent.
Built different, on purpose
Bulk work runs on our servers — queued, resumable, idempotent. No 30-second Apps Script timeout. Close the laptop; the results are in your cells when you're back. Failed rows retry automatically and report in a per-job log.
// never pay for the same cell twiceDry-run preview on every job with real sample outputs and the projected total. Live spend meter, per-job receipts, team caps. Managed keys bill on a published per-model rate card — never opaque credits.
// "12,400 rows ≈ $3.82 — run?"Schedule it: "re-translate the catalog every Monday, 6am." Trigger it: new row lands → classify + enrich. Every sheet becomes an API endpoint, with first-class n8n and Zapier integrations at launch.
// a tool you open becomes infrastructure you depend onPoint a Doc template at a Sheet → generate N polished, formatted Docs or PDFs in Drive — proposals, briefs, outreach one-pagers. Real headings, tables, and styles. Preview every change before it applies.
// rows in, documents outevery function · every major model — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, Grok — pick per task
The moat nobody else has
Recurring jobs that re-run themselves — catalog translation, enrichment refresh, weekly report prep.
A form response or imported lead lands in the sheet → it's classified, enriched, and scored within seconds.
Every sheet becomes an AI endpoint. Native n8n node and Zapier app from day one — not an afterthought.
Sheets → Docs bridge
Each row becomes a personalized, properly formatted proposal, brief, or report in Drive — headings, tables, and brand styles intact. Nobody else owns this. We will.
The honest comparison
We publish this because transparency is the product. Judge for yourself.
