About SimpleMetrics

What SimpleMetrics builds, who started it, and where AI for Sheets and AI Spreadsheet fit together.

Last updated: 2026-03-06

SimpleMetrics builds practical AI tools for spreadsheet work. Today that mainly means AI for Sheets for Google Sheets and AI Spreadsheet for longer-running, agent-first workflows.

Why SimpleMetrics exists

The original problem was simple: AI was useful, but using it row by row or topic by topic was painfully manual. Copying prompts between tabs did not scale. The idea behind SimpleMetrics was to make AI work more like a spreadsheet function or a repeatable workflow, so one prompt could help across many rows, files, and tasks.

That is still the product philosophy now: remove repetitive work, keep the interface simple, and help teams get useful output without building a custom pipeline first.

What SimpleMetrics builds today

  • AI for Sheets: a Google Sheets add-on for running AI inside cells and sidebars. Common workflows include text generation with =GEN, image understanding with =VISION, image creation with =IMAGEN, and deeper spreadsheet workflows with Sheet Agent.
  • AI Spreadsheet: a standalone web app for teams that need saved prompts, background runs, and larger repeatable workflows beyond normal Google Sheets add-on limits.
  • Help and support content: step-by-step setup and troubleshooting for common issues such as installation, file access, formula errors, and account mismatches.

When to use which product

  • Use AI for Sheets if your work already lives in Google Sheets and you want formulas or sidebar tools inside the sheet.
  • Use AI Spreadsheet if you need background processing, saved prompts, or a more agent-first workflow for bigger jobs.
  • If you are just getting started, begin with Getting started and the Formula reference.

Who built SimpleMetrics

SimpleMetrics is built by Joe, a UK-based product builder focused on spreadsheets, reporting workflows, and simple tools that solve practical problems. The goal is not to add more dashboard clutter. It is to help people do useful work faster, especially when the work starts in a spreadsheet.
