Arcwise

Arcwise is an AI-powered analyst that lives on top of your Google Sheets. It helps streamline spreadsheet tasks by automating complex transformations and providing insights without requiring advanced Excel skills. Once connected to a Google Sheet, Arcwise can understand the data and respond to commands or questions. For example, you can ask Arcwise in plain language to “find outliers in this sales column” or “categorize these free-text survey responses,” and it will perform the action within the sheet.

It can generate formulas based on descriptions, suggest charts or visualizations for the data, and even identify trends or anomalies for you. Arcwise essentially acts as a co-pilot, turning Google Sheets into a more powerful analytics tool. It supports real-time collaboration and ensures that everyone on the team can leverage advanced analysis (like pivoting data or cleaning up data entries) without manual effort.

Currently, Arcwise is available as an add-on (with a beta free tier), and they offer professional plans for heavier usage. It’s ideal for teams that rely on spreadsheets but want to save time and avoid errors in data analysis by letting an AI handle the heavy lifting and provide intelligent suggestions.
