Smart Builder: AI Spreadsheet Import: Spreadsheets to Apps, in Seconds

With so much data and information flowing through teams and projects, most organizations default to using spreadsheets to manage and track progress. While initially useful, spreadsheets can isolate data into disconnected silos, making it difficult to share data for key insights and to add that data and information into larger project plans.

Using proprietary AI, Spreadsheet Import transforms even the most complex spreadsheets and data into fully functional, data-rich, and customizable apps in just a few clicks. Unlike other, less sophisticated spreadsheet import tools, incapable of handling the complexity of intricate spreadsheets, Smart Builder: AI Spreadsheet Import can incorporate dashboards, reports, forms, and automated workflows that replace the limitations of spreadsheets, and do so in seconds without requiring any technical expertise.

“Spreadsheets are a huge part of any project, often serving as a key system of record for individuals or smaller teams,” said Ed Jennings, CEO of Quickbase. “Unfortunately, they have inherent limitations as projects scale, trapping valuable insights and data in isolation and making it difficult to share information and collaborate with other teams, partners, and customers. Spreadsheet Import breaks these barriers, connecting teams and projects, visualizing data, and adding real-time intelligence keeping things on track in moments. It's a game-changer for productivity.”

In addition to Spreadsheet Import, Quickbase is expanding its AI-powered integration offering to connect apps to other tools. New integration capabilities can auto-fill mandatory automation steps with the help of AI, using OCR as a type of data recognition, connecting legacy systems and data, reducing manual data entry, rekeying, and process duplication, introducing productivity and efficiency shortcuts, and turning data into actionable insights.

Continued Jennings, “We have a fundamental belief that, for complex operations and industries, AI only works if it is easy to access, use, and adds value in the flow of your natural ways of working. Our platform is designed around that belief. Quickbase AI is the foundation of that commitment, making it easy for anyone add intelligence, unlock productivity and efficiency, and amplify the impact of teams and projects.”
