11.0.0 — Ask your data a question
A snapshot as of 11.0.0 (released 2026-10-19). It will go stale as the app moves on — that is expected, and the living reference is the guide each section links to.
With this release, analysing data by conversation is complete: you hand the agent a file, ask what you want to know, and get a spreadsheet with live formulas and charts that follow it. We checked it by asking fifteen analysis questions the way anyone would — from “analyse this file” to “is B really better than A?” and “who is likely to cancel?” — and fixed what that turned up (#3113).
New features
Ask a question, not only “analyse this”
You no longer need to say “analyse”. Ask the question you have about the file (#3114):
Can we say B did better than A in ab_test.csv?
data/sensor.csv is one day of sensor readings. Is anything unusual?
Forecast next month’s sales from data/monthly_sales.csv.
The agent answers in words, and the answer comes with the spreadsheet and charts it is based on, so you can check it and change it.
More: How to ask.
Excel files
An Excel file (.xlsx) works like a CSV (#3114). The agent tells you which worksheets the file has and which one it read. A large Excel file is added up by a script.

New spreadsheet functions
ROW, COLUMN, ROWS and COLUMNS now work (#3116) — =ROW()-1 numbers the rows of a data sheet, for example. Before, they showed #NAME?.

What looks different
The spreadsheet arrives without error cells
When a formula in the spreadsheet comes out as an error (#N/A, #VALUE!, …), the agent is now told which cells, and fixes them before telling you the spreadsheet is ready (#3114). You may see it present the spreadsheet twice while it does so. An error it leaves on purpose — a lookup that finds nothing, say — is one it tells you about.
Under the hood
Months and text are read correctly
Nothing to do; the fixes apply to every spreadsheet, old and new (#3116).
- A month written
2025-01was read as the number 2025. A monthly total built on such a column put the whole year’s total in every month, and nothing showed an error. Now2025-01is text, and each month gets its own total. - Text with a comma (
Tokyo, Japan) was read as 0. It is now the text. - A sheet named in Japanese can be referred to without quotes, as in
=基準!B1. - Sheets that refer to each other calculate correctly and quickly, and lookups over
$A$2:$C$10ranges work (#3114).
How to tell you have the fix: in a spreadsheet, type Tokyo, Japan in A1 and =LEN(A1) in B1. It shows 12. Before, it showed 1.
One thing still differs from Excel: 2025-01 is not turned into a date. Formulas that take a date (YEAR(A1)) answer #VALUE! for it, and typing 2025-01 into a cell yourself is read as a subtraction. Set the cell editor’s type to String to keep it as written.
