## Overview

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.
