Try Carly →What Carly can do with Google Sheets
Log data from email
Tell Carly to add a row to a Google Sheet — a new deal, an expense, a lead, a meeting note. Just include the details and she'll put them in the right columns.
Look up anything in a spreadsheet
Ask Carly to find a value in a Google Sheet — a client's contract amount, a project deadline, a budget number — and she'll email it back to you.
Update rows without opening the sheet
Need to change a status or update a number? Tell Carly what to change and she'll make the update in your Google Sheet.
Get summaries on demand
Ask Carly for a summary of your spreadsheet data — totals, counts, or filtered views — without opening Google Sheets yourself.
Why teams are using AI for Google Sheets
Google Sheets is where most small teams track everything — sales pipelines, project timelines, budgets, inventory, client lists. The problem is that keeping a spreadsheet up to date means constantly switching tabs, copying data from emails, and remembering which column goes where. Most people don't have time for that, so the sheet goes stale within a week.
AI tools for Google Sheets solve this by letting you update, query, and manage your spreadsheets without opening them. Instead of logging into Sheets, finding the right tab, and typing in a value, you can send a quick message and the data is there. That's the difference between a spreadsheet that's always current and one that's two weeks behind.
How Carly works as your AI Google Sheets assistant
Carly connects directly to your Google Sheets through your Google account. Once connected, you interact with your spreadsheets over email or text — the same way you'd ask a colleague to update something for you.
Need to log a new deal? Email Carly the details and she adds the row. Want to know your total revenue this quarter? Text her and she pulls the number. Need to update a project status? Tell her which row to change. She reads your column headers and figures out where everything goes, so you don't need to remember that "deal size" is column D.
This is different from Google Sheets add-ons or scripts that generate formulas inside the spreadsheet. Carly works from outside the sheet — she's an assistant you message, not a plugin you install. That means she can also pull data from your calendar, email, or CRM and push it into Sheets without you being the middleman.
Who this is for
Founders and operators who use Google Sheets as a lightweight database but don't have time to maintain it manually. Sales reps who need to log deals without breaking their flow. Freelancers tracking invoices and expenses across multiple clients. If you've ever thought "I should update the spreadsheet" and then didn't — Carly is built for that exact moment.

Get Started →Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI tool for Google Sheets?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to Google Sheets and lets you add rows, look up data, update values, and get summaries just by sending an email or text. Unlike add-ons or formula generators, Carly works from outside the spreadsheet — you message her like a colleague, and she handles the rest.
Can AI update a Google Sheet automatically?
Yes. With Carly, you can email or text instructions like "add a row to my Sales Tracker" or "update the status for Acme to Closed Won" and Carly will make the change in your Google Sheet within seconds. No need to open the spreadsheet.
How does Carly connect to Google Sheets?
Go to your Carly dashboard, click Connect next to Google Sheets, and sign in with your Google account. That's it — Carly can then read and write to your spreadsheets.
Is Carly different from Google Sheets AI add-ons?
Yes. Most Google Sheets AI tools are add-ons that generate formulas or analyze data inside the spreadsheet. Carly works from outside — she's an assistant you message over email or text who can also pull in context from your calendar, email, and other connected apps. That means she can log data from an email thread directly into a sheet without you touching either one.
Can Carly access any Google Sheet in my Drive?
Carly can access sheets you explicitly share with her or that are within the scope of the Google Drive permissions you granted. She won't browse your entire Drive.
Can I use AI to manage a Google Sheets CRM?
Absolutely. Many Carly users keep their sales pipeline or client list in Google Sheets. You can tell Carly to log new leads, update deal stages, look up client info, or send you a weekly summary — all without opening the spreadsheet.
