Overview

Arcwise is an AI copilot built into Google Sheets that lets users describe what they want in plain language and get pivots, charts, and cleaned data back inside the spreadsheet. Founded in 2022, the company ships its copilot as a Chrome extension add-on rather than a separate app, so the assistant works directly inside an existing spreadsheet.

The tool adds custom functions such as $AI.TRANSFORM, $AI.CLASSIFY, and $AI.EXTRACT that run GPT-based operations on spreadsheet ranges, plus a chat-style assistant that can upload PDFs and pull structured tables out of them automatically. It connects to warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Databricks so reporting can pull from live sources instead of static exports.

Analysts, operations teams, and finance staff who lean on Google Sheets for reporting are the core audience, particularly teams without a dedicated data engineer to write scripts. A free tier covers basic use, and the Pro tier starts at $29.99 per month for advanced data connections and higher usage limits.
