Show HN: Sourcetable – AI Spreadsheet Hi HN! I’m Eoin, founder of Sourcetable ( https://sourcetable.com ). Sourcetable is a web-based spreadsheet that lets users pair with AI to do better, faster work. If you spend a lot of time in spreadsheets doing fairly repetitive grunt work, there's a good chance Sourcetable can massively increase your productivity so you can spend your time on more interesting things. There are two ways people primarily interact with AI inside Sourcetable: the sidebar (CMD + \), which is great for document or range-based analysis, and the command bar (CMD + K), which is handy for cell-based operations. This is because spreadsheets have inline workflows and meta workflows, somewhat similar to Cursor's text editor UX. The fastest way to use the product is to upload an XLSX or CSV file and start asking questions. Sourcetable's AI is helpful with workflows including data cleaning, formula assist, chart generation, research, analysis, language translation, data transforms, thinking through problem solving, error handling, etc. If you can ask an AI to do it, it might just work! The best way to get value from the Sourcetable is to remember that you are pairing with very helpful LLMs, but not (yet) an all-powerful AI. It doesn't do _everything_ for you, but it will make curious people more productive. One thing the HN crowd might find interesting is that we have put a lot of work in making sure answers are hallucination free wherever possible. We do this by having the LLM write code which our backend validates and executes. If you're using the AI chatbot for analysis, open the code editor and have a look! I'm constantly surprised by the breadth of users and use cases. We have seen soil scientists, virtual assistants & EAs, MBA students, criminologists, oil refineries, telemarketers, astrologers, sales ops folk... etc, using the product. Considering we set out to build Sourcetable for operations folk, it has been a pleasant surprise to see just how useful and broadly applicable an AI native spreadsheet can be to society. On the technical side, Llama 3.1 (via Groq) and Claude 3.5 are the work horses. LiteLLM handles load balancing to work within RPM & TPM constraints, and OpenAI models are the backup. Our spreadsheet is DuckDB based which has big speed advantages for regular spreadsheet & data work, and also for keeping our AI agents fast. Finally, Sourcetable is free for students (freemium for everyone else), just sign up using your student email. If you have product feedback, we would love to hear from you: eoin@sourcetable.com December 10, 2024 at 11:50PM
