AskMySheet
A safe AI helper for non-technical office workers that lets you describe what you want in an Excel or Google Sheets file and runs the formulas, pivots and macros for you inside a sandboxed compute layer — so a mistake can't crash the company file.
Office managers, finance assistants, small-business owners and analysts who are great at their job but terrified of breaking a spreadsheet
- Plain-English request → generated formula or pivot, with a step-by-step 'what this does' panel before you commit
- Sandboxed execution means every formula is tested on a copy first; if it breaks, your original file is untouched
- One-click audit trail showing exactly which cells were touched and why, for the boss who needs to sign off the file
- Templates library: VAT reconciliation, payroll summary, supplier comparison — each pre-vetted by a UK accountant
agentOS promises compute at 1/254th the cost of current sandboxes; that price drop makes it economically viable to give every small-business owner an always-on spreadsheet helper instead of one reserved for Fortune 500 teams.
