Quadratic

AI spreadsheet that connects live data and writes Python, SQL and formulas for you

Freemiumquadratichq.comUpdated 19 Oct 2026

About Quadratic

Quadratic is a browser-based AI spreadsheet that combines a familiar grid with built-in AI, live data connections and native code cells. Users describe an analysis in plain English and the AI writes the formulas, Python, SQL or charts, then saves the result as code-based cells that can be opened, inspected, edited and shared. Cells can run Python, SQL, JavaScript or standard spreadsheet formulas side by side in the same sheet. The product connects to databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Snowflake and BigQuery, and to services including QuickBooks, Google Analytics and Mixpanel.

Best for

Analysing database data in a spreadsheet, working with very large CSV or Parquet files, mixing Python or SQL with formulas
Database Analytics: Connect a Postgres or Snowflake database and ask questions in plain English, with the generated SQL visible in the sheet.
Finance Reporting: Pull QuickBooks or Plaid data into a sheet and build reconciliations and charts with AI-written formulas.
Large File Exploration: Import multi-GB CSV or Parquet files and analyse them in the grid with Python.
PDF Data Extraction: Convert tables from PDF reports into structured rows for further analysis.
Product and Marketing Metrics: Combine Google Analytics and Mixpanel data with other sources in one sheet.

Not ideal for

Users who need a native mobile app, teams that depend on the full Excel macro and add-in ecosystem
