How to Automate AI Queries in Google Sheets with Live Data from Anywhere
Blog post from CData
Google Sheets’ experimental =AI() formula enables generative AI prompts directly in spreadsheet cells, while CData Connect Spreadsheets extends this capability by connecting Sheets to more than 270 live enterprise data sources, including CRM, accounting, e-commerce, analytics, databases, and warehouses. Users can enable Workspace Labs features, connect their systems through CData, apply AI prompts to synchronized data, and refresh both source data and generated outputs as needed without coding or manual exports. Suggested applications include summarizing general ledger records and identifying accounting anomalies, generating product descriptions and marketing copy from SKU data, and creating personalized sales outreach, deal summaries, and customer-review responses from CRM or support information. The service is presented as a way to combine current business data with spreadsheet-based AI automation at scale, with a free trial available.
