🥷 Your Spreadsheet Just Got a Serious Upgrade

If you’ve ever spent way too long Googling how to write an Excel formula—or sat through a 12-minute YouTube tutorial just to make a basic chart—you’re not alone. Spreadsheets are powerful, but they can be painfully slow when you’re just trying to understand your data.

That’s where Quadratic comes in. It’s an AI-powered spreadsheet that lets you talk to your data in plain English. No formulas, no coding, no need to become a spreadsheet wizard.

You just upload your data (or connect to live sources like APIs, databases, or even PDFs), ask a question like “What’s the trend here?”, and Quadratic gives you answers—charts, tables, insights—instantly. And if it writes any code or formulas, you can actually see and tweak them. No black-box magic.

Some standout features:

• Ask questions in natural language—skip the formulas entirely

• Pull live data from databases or APIs, no ETL setup required

• Instantly create charts just by describing what you want

• Extract tables from PDFs in one click

• See and edit the Python or formula code the AI generates

• Enrich and clean your datasets with AI help

So who’s this for?
If you work with data and don’t want to spend half your day fighting spreadsheets, Quadratic is worth a look. It’s great for marketers, indie builders, analysts, researchers, students—basically anyone who wants answers without the friction.

If you’re curious, you can give it a spin here with their free plan. No steep learning curve. Just smarter spreadsheets.
