Arcwise AI - GPT Copilot for Sheets is a free early access Chrome extension developed by Arcwise. This extension utilizes the AI behind ChatGPT to provide users with the ability to explain, transform, and ingest data in Google Sheets using text commands. By simply pressing Cmd+Shift+1 (or Ctrl+Shift+1), users can access a wide range of features and functionalities.

With Arcwise AI, users can ask questions about a spreadsheet, similar to ChatGPT, such as "What does this sheet do?" or "Describe all the calculation interdependencies in A10:D20?". The extension also allows users to clean data using text commands, such as formatting dates or extracting specific text from cells. Additionally, users can access a formula copilot that helps with formula suggestions, and even scrape the web to import data from browser tabs into Google Sheets.

To use the early access extension, users simply need to navigate to a Google Sheet, open Arcwise AI using the keyboard shortcut, and choose a command. The developers at Arcwise are committed to bringing the power of modern data tools to spreadsheet users and encourage users to provide feedback through the in-app link.

Please note that Excel/.xlsx files need to be converted to Google Sheets in order to use Arcwise AI. During the beta period, the usage of the extension is free, with a generous limit. Users can also try Arcwise AI in Google Docs, where it serves as a writing assistant. It is important to mention that Arcwise does not store user data, as data is passed to the OpenAI API but never stored on their servers.
