TRY IT GPT for Work
GPT for Work is a spreadsheet add-on that puts AI models directly inside Google Sheets and Excel. You type what you need in plain language, and the agent does the work in your file. No copy-pasting into a chat window, no app-switching.
The core use case is bulk processing. You can run translation, categorization, content generation, data enrichment, or formula writing across hundreds of thousands of rows at up to 1,000 rows per minute. That's not a small thing if you're an analyst or ops person who lives in spreadsheets. The agent handles the full range of spreadsheet tasks too: writing and fixing formulas, creating charts and pivot tables, cleaning data, building forecasts. And it supports multiple AI models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok, with your own API keys.
The credit system is pay-as-you-go, no mandatory subscription. That appeals to teams who don't want per-seat pricing locked in. Enterprise plans with usage caps and dashboards are available. Worth noting: the cost difference between standard and premium models is significant. Running GPT-4.1 across large datasets costs substantially more than the base model, so run the usage estimator on the pricing page before buying credits.
With 7 million installations and over 55,000 paid customers, this isn't an untested experiment. Enterprise teams at BCG, ASOS, and Sky use it. Support gets a 98% CSAT score with sub-one-hour average response times.
The sidebar interface isn't quite as fluid as a native integration, and for open-ended analysis or creative tasks, you'll get better results going straight to ChatGPT. But for structured, high-volume spreadsheet work, there's little that competes at this scale and speed.
