Bring your spreadsheet data to life
Turn your spreadsheets into live, interactive mini-apps with Sheets canvas and Gemini 3.7 Flash — no coding required.
How does it work? Let’s dive into it:
Most AI UI tools produce prototypes that pull from static data files, but Sheets canvas is different. Gemini natively analyzes your spreadsheet's schema (columns, data types, relationships, etc.) to automatically build mini-apps with functional UI components, like transforming what-if analyses into draggable sliders and updating financial projections. Instead of staring at endless rows and columns, you can instantly generate a visual study tracker, a custom dashboard for your fantasy football roster, or an interactive wedding seating chart.
And, it’s not just a read-only dashboard—it’s a live, bi-directional presentation layer. So… what does that mean? You can interact directly with your canvas, like dragging a wedding guest to a new table or checking off a homework assignment, and those changes are sent back to your underlying sheet in real time, keeping your data perfectly in sync.
Want to tweak the layout, add a new filter, or change up the styling? Just ask! Gemini remembers your conversation, so you can refine your mini-app step-by-step without ever having to start from scratch. By teaming up Gemini’s AI with the native power of Sheets, we’re making it so anyone can build the custom apps they need.
Sheets canvas is live for Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers and rolling out to @GoogleWorkspace businesses and education subscribers on select plans. Learn more: https://goo.gle/4zmhEmr
