How does the AI understand the data in my Google Sheet?

When you use the 'From Link' feature, LoomDoc scrapes the text content from your Google Sheet. The AI then uses this text-based data to understand the context and relationships between rows and columns, allowing it to answer your questions. For best results, ensure your sheet has clear headers.

What kind of questions can I ask about my spreadsheet?

You can ask summarization questions like 'Which client spent the most in Q3?', data retrieval questions like 'What is the project budget for Project X?', or comparative questions like 'How did October sales compare to September?'. The AI works best with well-structured, text-based data.

Is my data secure when I link a Google Sheet?

Yes. LoomDoc only reads the content from the shareable link you provide. If your link is public, the content is treated as public. If you want to restrict access, you can set the LoomDoc link to 'Private' and invite specific users by email, adding a layer of security on top of your Google Sheet's permissions.

How-To Guide

How to Chat With Your Google Sheets Using AI (No Formulas Needed)

Your data holds the answers, but finding them can mean wrestling with VLOOKUPs and pivot tables. There’s a better way. Paste your Google Sheet link into LoomDoc and just ask.

Chat With Your Sheet

The Problem: Your Data is Trapped in Cells

Exporting sales data, project plans, or user feedback into Google Sheets is easy. Getting quick answers isn't. You're stuck sorting, filtering, and writing complex formulas just to find a simple insight.

The Old Way

"Let me just write a quick `SUMIFS` to find the total revenue for the 'Enterprise' tier in the 'West' region... wait, what's the syntax again?"

This process is slow, error-prone, and reserved for the spreadsheet gurus on your team.

The Solution: Have a Conversation with Your Data

LoomDoc’s “From Link” feature turns your Google Sheet into an intelligent database. We extract the text content, and our AI assistant lets you query it in plain English.

The LoomDoc Way

Paste your Google Sheet link into LoomDoc and simply ask:
"What was the total revenue for the West region's Enterprise tier?"

Get instant answers, summaries, and insights without writing a single formula.
