GRID is the magical surface where numbers and narrative meet. Discover the best all-in-one solution for visualizing and presenting data from spreadsheets & databases. Now with a GPT-3 powered formula copilot.
Hey everyone, I’m the founder and CEO of GRID.
Since we first launched on Product Hunt in 2021, GRID has grown into a powerful, all-in-one numbers tool. We’ve built a world-class spreadsheet engine and combined spreadsheet editing with an interactive surface for visualizations. We believe that numbers work should be friendlier, and more accessible to everyone on your team.
With GRID 2.0, we’re launching a ton of exciting stuff, such as:
* GRID Sheets, our fully featured spreadsheet editor
* GRID AI Formula Assistant powered by GPT-3: write formulas with plain language prompts
* Integrations: Notion, Airtable, Slack & more to come!
* Automatic refresh for Notion and Airtable databases
We’re so happy to be launching GRID 2.0 into the world. Read more about our launch story in our blog ( https://grid.is/blog/launching-g... ).
While it's just one of the many ways we're making numbers work more friendly, the formula assistant is the most immediately 🤯. I encourage you to sign-up and simply give it a spin. This video will give you a glimpse of what it is like in action:
@stedmanblake Lol! On a more serious note, here's a write-up of some of the interesting things people are experimenting with using GPT in the spreadsheet space: https://medium.grid.is/gpt-3-and...
Congrats on the launch 🚀
The new formula assistant is absolutely amazing. I'm not an expert spreadsheet user but I usually get basic formulas right and know what results I want to get, and being able to express the outcome easily in text is a game changer 🔥
Wow, congratulations on the launch of GRID 2.0! 🎉 It sounds like such an amazing and powerful new tool. I'm so excited to see what it can do.
I'm curious, what are some of the most interesting use cases you've seen with GRID? And what's your favorite feature so far? 🤩
Thanks for bringing such a fantastic new tool to the world! Keep up the great work! 💪
Thanks for the comment @paolo_degiglio! We'd love to hear what you think of GRID after you try it out 🙏
The most popular use cases for GRID include financial planning & analysis, where analysts use GRID to build interactive forecasts and present their work at meetings, in marketing & sales where teams engage in fast-paced collaboration to produce campaign performance analysis and optimize their user funnel, as well as for founders who are seeking funding and need to create comprehensive revenue models and reports that they share with potential investors.
Picking a favorite feature is difficult - especially since of course everyone's excited about the newest one, the AI Formula Assistant 🤩
But personally - it's simple: I love the slider. Giving your audience the ability to imagine possible scenarios and project the data depending on their own theorycrafting and ideas is one of my absolute favorite aspects of GRID. Here's a video that shows the slider in action ✨
Hey all, thank you for your support.
I think this latest release of ours is a game changer for people that are beginning to use spreadsheets, but no-less so for those that have had to use spreadsheets for years.
If you haven't tried so already, go ahead copy a table of data somewhere on the internet paste straight into the GRID document and see it instantly turn into a chart. I dare you to find a faster way to convert external data into visualization.
That looks amazingly useful. Are there any limits on the number of rows or cells per spreadsheet in the free plan or in paid plans?
And, are your formulas proprietary or would copy/pasting a formula from Google sheets or Excel work as well?
Hi @torsten_p, it IS amazingly useful :) I recommend simply signing up for free and giving it a spin.
There are no limitations on the number of cells or rows in our plans.
Our functions are compatible with those of traditional spreadsheets, generally Excel first, then Google Sheets. What that means is that almost any formula that you copy from either of these these spreadsheets will work in GRID, but where there are differences between the implementation in Excel and Google Sheets, we will generally "do what Excel does".
You can easily copy individual formulas from either software, but you can also copy entire ranges with formulas. From Google Sheets that works without any acrobatics, but from Excel you'll have to switch to "Show formulas" before copying. Then - of course - you can import existing spreadsheets from either into GRID.

Grid is a great solution for visualizing and presenting data from spreadsheets and databases. The GPT-3 powered formula copilot is a great addition that makes it even easier to use.
A must have tool for any modern professional. Our team has used this incredible product for dozens of use cases, ranging from VC funding, building and sharing budgets with our board and internal team, pricing modules, and much more. Just gave the // AI a spin, and already a huge time-saved for countless use-cases. Search is out, // is in. (I've already learned a ton of new spreadsheet formulas and ways to build them by testing it for a few days).
Thanks for your kind words @kristjan_kristjansson1 . Your continued support of GRID has been instrumental in shaping the product and our direction.
I agree on the formula assistance and learning about new functions and techniques. TBH, when we first started experimenting with this, I thought the assistant would be a nice demo gimmick at best. Now I use it all the time even though I consider myself a more-than-decent spreadsheet modeler.
