Equals
AI-powered spreadsheets connected to your data
About Equals
Equals is an AI-powered spreadsheet platform that connects directly to your databases and data warehouse, so every number you look at is live rather than a CSV export from last Tuesday. When the data refreshes, every chart, formula, and calculation updates automatically — there is no manual export step, no question of whether the numbers are current, and no version control problem of multiple people working on different exports of the same data.
An AI layer writes formulas and SQL queries from plain English descriptions. You can ask 'give me revenue by channel for the last 90 days' and Equals writes the query against your connected database without needing to know which tables to use or how they join. For ops, finance, and growth teams that spend a significant portion of their time in spreadsheets, this removes a class of work: exports, formula debugging, and requests to the data team for pulls that could have been self-served.
Equals connects to Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, and most common databases. Connecting a data source typically takes a few minutes with standard credentials.
The core problem Equals solves is the staleness and fragility of spreadsheet-based reporting. Most ops and finance teams maintain spreadsheets that depend on manual CSV exports from multiple systems, require someone to merge and update them regularly, and create constant questions about whether the numbers are current. Equals replaces this with a spreadsheet where every number is queried live from its source, so the question of whether data is up to date does not arise.
AI formula and query generation significantly reduces the expertise barrier. For a finance analyst who knows the business logic they want to implement but is not confident in complex spreadsheet formula syntax or SQL, describing what they want in plain English and having Equals write the query is a practical solution that removes the dependency on a data team for routine requests. The AI understands your connected schema and writes queries that work with your actual tables.
Equals connects to a wide range of databases and warehouses — Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift — as well as common SaaS tools like Salesforce, Stripe, and HubSpot via direct integrations. Connection setup typically takes a few minutes with standard credentials. For teams migrating from a patchwork of manual exports and fragile shared Excel files, the first data connection usually produces an immediate and visible improvement in reporting reliability.
