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:
Here's a little post about how the formula assistant is implemented for those that are interested: https://medium.grid.is/how-we-bu...
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 ✨
@paolo_degiglio here's a doc you can check out as well to play around with GRID's interactivity ✨
Congrats on the launch of GRID 2.0! It looks like the perfect tool to help businesses visualize and present data - I'm excited to see what it can do!
Thanks @usamaejaz . Go ahead and give it a spin. Looking forward to your feedback.
Exciting! Congrats n the launch y'all
Here's a fun tweet on your competition https://twitter.com/0xgaut/statu...
@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...
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.
For more details on our engine, including our function support, you'll find an in-depth write-up here: https://medium.grid.is/we-built-...
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.
@bilal_niaz thank you! We’re glad to hear you like GRID. Hoping the formula assistant will save you valuable time moving forward 🤝
Congratulations! Way to make an already great product even better! The new formula assistant sounds like a game-changer.
Thanks @benlcollins . It is a game-changer. This video cuts straight to it in action:
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 🔥
💡 Bright idea
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.
Congratulations on the launch!
As someone who doesn't know much about all the formula that exists, the AI assistant is a real game changer,
makes the experience a lot easier and the tool a lot more accessible. Well done!
Thank you @jeremdsgn 🙏
We definitely want to lower the learning curve for spreadsheets, so it's great to hear that you feel like this makes GRID more accessible.
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.
Exceptional, making spreadsheets interactable was already a game changer for me. The new features just makes it so much more powerful.
💡 Bright idea
Finally a useful use of GPT... making it easy and intuitive to write spreadsheet formulas. I am forever rummaging through the Excel "help" (term used loosely) to remember the syntax for RANK or MID... or mucking around with MID, LEFT, LEN to extract exactly that piece of a string I need. NO MORE! Now I just type what I want and it gets it right away. #ai with a purpose!!!
Yes, using the formula assistant is an interesting mix of having all the documentation at hand, having an assistant doing your bidding and having an experienced teacher looking over your shoulder.
I have the exact same problem with INDEX, can never remember the syntax correctly. Such a relief to not need all that flicking between tabs anymore 😅
This is excellent! Looking forward to trying it out, especially the AI feature. Congratulations.
Thanks @sigurbjornsson . Go take it for a spin. You can sign up for free, and this video shows you what it is like in action:
Congrats on the launch!! GRID has been invaluable to my company and no other tool allows me to create an interactive interface for my spreadsheets. I have hundreds of clients who have told me the GRID tools I've built have helped them make confident choices and save thousands of dollars on choosing a mortgage.
The new GPT functionality looks so useful. It certainly will save me time in not needing to Google which formula I should use haha. The GRID team is always on top of customer support and new updates. You all have succeeded in making GRID feel like a personable company that cares about what I'm looking for as a user!
Selfishly, I don't want other people to know about GRID haha. Looking forward to all of your continued growth!!
Thanks for your kind words @kyle_seagraves . You left the whole team 🥺🥺🥺
Your continued support has helped us make the product better and stronger. Speaking of secrets: We're always as amazed how you and other happy users manage to keep it secret from all the people that should know about it! :)
@kyle_seagraves this comment made my day - thank you so much for your kind words 🤗
GRID is an incredible tool - it's been an invaluable help to me in my business. I look forward to trying out the new formula assistant - what an awesome feature. Congrats on the launch!
Thank you for the comment @jon_baldursson 🙏 we’re excited to hear what you think of the formula assistant!
Congrats on this launch @hjalli and team GRID. Nicely done and love "// is the new ="
Thanks @mattrobinson . So many exciting innovations in our space. I tried to map some of them here: https://medium.grid.is/gpt-3-and...
I was extremely eager to try out the latest version and observe the integration of AI into the product while putting it to the test and challenge the AI. I must admit, my expectations were exceeded, the product is impressive.
Hey @pauloc 👋 I’m so happy to hear that your experience was good. Hope you keep using it and save valuable time using the formula copilot 🥳
