AI can transform Google Sheets workflows by handling data import, auto-organization, inconsistency detection, and rapid report generation. Users retain responsibility for strategic decisions while AI eliminates repetitive tasks and reduces formula errors. Accessible AI features in Google Workspace Labs or Gemini enable functions such as generating cell text, summarizing columns or tables, categorizing entries, and performing sentiment analysis. Automation begins by opening a spreadsheet, accessing AI functions via Insert → Function → AI, and using prompts or formulas like =AI("Summarize the key feedback points", A2:A20) to generate and insert results quickly.

Now imagine a more innovative way: instead of wrestling with formulas or manually sorting data, you ask AI to handle it. AI will import data, auto-organize sheets, flag inconsistencies, and create reports in seconds. The human touch still matters for decisions and strategy, but AI takes the tedious work off your plate.
Step 2: Access AI-powered features in Google Workspace If your account can access Google Workspace Labs or Gemini, you'll see AI functions in the top menu.
