GPT for Sheets and Docs (branded GPT for Work) is an AI add-on that brings a chat panel directly into Google Sheets, Docs, Excel, and Word for spreadsheet and document tasks. Talarian, a bootstrapped and profitable company founded in Paris in 2015, launched the product in early 2023 once ChatGPT made the underlying models broadly available, later extending it to Excel and Word at Microsoft's suggestion.
Instead of writing formulas manually, users type requests in plain language, such as building a pivot table by region and month or translating a column to French, and the add-on reads the spreadsheet, plans the steps, and executes them directly in the file. Pricing runs on one-time credit packs rather than a recurring subscription, pooled across a team with no per-seat charge, and users can supply their own API keys to pay model providers directly if they prefer.
The add-on suits Google Workspace and Microsoft Office users doing repetitive spreadsheet or document work, such as bulk translation, data cleanup, or SEO content generation at scale, who want AI built into files they already use. Credit packs start at $29 with no subscription or monthly fee, plus a $1 per 1 million token platform fee on top of standard model costs, and custom Enterprise plans are available for larger deployments.
