Arcwise AI
An AI data analyst living inside Google Sheets: ask questions, query warehouses, and explain metric shifts with source tracing.
About
Arcwise AI is a spreadsheet copilot for teams that live in Google Sheets but need answers from warehouse data. A Chrome extension brings AI functions like $AI.TRANSFORM, $AI.CLASSIFY, and $AI.EXTRACT into cells, connects to Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks so the AI writes the SQL, and produces reports, visualizations, and metric-shift explanations that trace back to source data rather than floating as open-ended text.
The company (Archimedes Labs, founded 2022) went through the Sequoia Arc program, and the Chrome Web Store listing shows 10,000+ users at 4.5 stars. Caveats are real: the extension had not been updated since September 2024 at last check, paid platform pricing is not published, and independent coverage is thin. It is a good fit for finance and ops analysts who want audited answers inside Sheets, but verify the product is still actively developed before depending on it.
