Update: It seems to be back, the downtime lasted maybe 5-6 minutes

Looks like it's going up and down intermittently, maybe something is only half-rolled-out.

Spoke too soon. The "internet" is down again.

I'm still seeing some sites not working - ironically they're down detectors:

https://statusfield.com/status/cloudflare https://statusgator.com/services/cloudflare

It came back up for me, now it's down again. EDIT: I am in the UK, using the London Cloudflare server.

It was down, then up, then back down for me.

EDIT: And it's back up.

EDIT EDIT: And it's back down lol

Down again in London

Still down for me.

Ands its back. It was a very short window to look out of the window.

Not too much window to see anyway

I forgot to add, you can try TabTabTab, without installing anything as well.

To see something much more powerful on Google Sheets than Gemini for free, you can add "try@tabtabtab.ai" to your sheet, and make a comment tagging "try@tabtabtab.ai" and see it in action.

If that is too much just go to ttt.new!

hey Collin! I am working on an AI agent on Google Sheets, I am curious if any of your designs are out in the public. We are trying to re-think how diffs should look like and want to make something nicer than what we currently have, so curious.

Hi! Nothing public nor generic enough to be a good building block. I found myself often frustrated by the tools that came out of the box but I believe better apis could make this slightly easier to solve.

The UX of spreadsheet diffs is a hard one to solve because of how weird the calculation loops are and how complicated the relationship between fields might be.

I've never tried to solve this for a real end user before in a generic way - all my past work here was for internal ability to audit changes and rollback catastrophes. I took a lot of shortcuts by knowing which cells are input data vs various steps of calculations -- maybe part of your ux is being able to define that on a sheet by sheet basis? Then you could show how different data (same formulas) changed outputs or how different formulas (same data) did differently?

Spreadsheets are basically weird app platforms at this point so you might not be able to create a single experience that is both deep and generic. On the other hand maybe treating it as an app is the unlock? Get your AI to noodle on what the whole thing is for, then show diff between before and after stable states (after all calculation loops stabilize or are killed) side by side with actual diffs of actual formulas? I feel like Id want to see a diff as a live final spreadsheet and be able to click on changed cells and see up the chain of their calculations to the ancestors that were modified.

Fun problem that sounds extremely complicated. Good luck distilling it!

I would recommend trying TabTabTab at https://tabtabtab.ai/

It is an entire agent loop. You can ask it to build a multi sheet analysis of your favorite stock and it will. We are seeing a lot of early adopters use it for financial modeling, research automation, and internal reporting tasks that used to take hours.

haha, shameless plug but if you use Google Sheets you can try adding `try@tabtabtab.ai` to the sheet as an editor, tagging it and giving it work

This is a very interesting read, we are building Cursor for Google Sheets and the variance of use-cases we see is insane.

1. A lot of people are creating dashboards / CRMs - either they don't have any one selling them verticalized Software or its too expensive. 2. Some people have verticalized Software and they use Sheets so that they can share data with others without paying for per seat SaaS while not worrying about what the new members can read/write into 3. Lots of financial modeling and planning - From a chain of Cafe's in Laos, to Startups raising funding. 4. Lots of teachers trying to do scheduling for their school while ensuring that the teachers get enough of a break. We have seen this in Colombia, the US and Italy 5. A lot of market research and enrichment

A Spreadsheet really is the IDE of a billion people. You can try us here https://tabtabtab.ai/

I’m curious which was the model you used when you ran into the cd-ing bug?

I’d give building with sonnet 4 a fair shot. It’s really good, not accurate all the time but pretty good.

Shameless product plug here - If you find yourself building large sheets, it doesn't really end with the initial list.

We can help gather data, crawl pages, make charts and more. Try us out at https://tabtabtab.ai/

We currently work on top of Google Sheets.

i don't think it was better than or comparable to cursor at all. except for the month prior to the OpenAI Acquisition news where some minor influencers on X were calling it better.

if it was better it would have survived.

> if it was better it would have survived.

Not sure how you can claim this when:

1. It is still very much alive, and

2. The whole point GP is making is that what made it better got stripped from it because of the acquisition announcement
