(Un)Perplexed Spready: The AI - Powered Spreadsheet Revolution

Have you ever found yourself despairing in tedious job of extracting information from some huge, big, boring spreadsheet... thinking how nice it would be if you had somebody else to do it for you? Cursing your life, while trying to make some sense from unstructured, messy data? Snail's pace going through the rows of the table, wondering whether you will finish it before the end of universe, or you will continue the job even in the black hole over the horizon of space-time?

Yes, we know that feeling. Sometimes there is just no spreadsheet function, no formula to do the job automatically, there is no automated way of extracting useful information from a messy dataset...only human can do it, manually. Row by row, until it is done. No machine can understand the meaning of unorganized textual data, no spreadsheet formula can help you managing such data...no machine...wait!

Is that really true anymore? I mean, today, in the age when we are witnessing rising of the Artificial Intelligence everywhere? I mean, would you go around the world by foot or by plane? Would you till the land by hand or by tractor? Would you ride a horse or drive a car, to visit your mother far away?

No, my friends, there is no reason to despair anymore, there is no reason to do the hard, tedious job of manual data extraction and categorization in spreadsheets, today when we have advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) models available. But how? How can you make that funny clever AI chat-bot to do something useful instead of babbling nonsense?

Well, let us present you a solution - the (UN)PERPLEXED SPREADY, a spreadsheet software whispering to Artificial Intelligence, freeing you from hardship of manual spreadsheet work!

Enjoy your life and drink your coffee, while the AI is working for you! It was time, after all, don't you think you deserve it?

Harness the power of advanced language models (LLM) directly within your spreadsheets!

Imagine opening your favorite spreadsheet and having the power of cutting-edge AI models at your fingertips—right inside your cells. (Un)Perplexed Spready is not your average spreadsheet software. It’s a next-generation tool that integrates state-of-the-art language models into its custom formulas, letting you perform advanced data analysis, generate insights, and even craft intelligent responses, all while you go about your daily work (...or just drink your coffee).

This isn’t sci-fi. This is (Un)Perplexed Spready—the spreadsheet software that laughs at the limits of Excel, Google Sheets, or anything you’ve used before.

“But How Is This Even Possible?”

Meet Your New AI Co-Pilots:

PERPLEXITY functions: Tap into commercial-grade AI (Perplexity.ai) for market analysis, real-time data synthesis, or competitive intelligence.

ASK_REMOTE (demo mode): Test ideas on our server-

What Makes (Un)Perplexed Spready Unique?

Direct AI models Integration:
At the heart of (Un)Perplexed Spready is its innovative support for custom functions such as:

PERPLEXITY: Call top-tier commercial AI directly (via Perplexity AI’s API)
ASK_LOCAL: Query locally installed AI models through the Ollama platform
ASK_REMOTE: Access remotely hosted AI model for on-the-fly analysis

With these functions, you can simply enter a formula like:
=PERPLEXITY1(A2, "What is the category of this product? Choose between following categories: meat, fruits, vegetables, bakery, dairy, others.")
or

=ASK_LOCAL1(A2, "From product description extract the product measure (mass, volume, size etc.) and express it in S.I. units")

=ASK_REMOTE1(A2, "What is aggregate phase of the product (solid, liquid, gas)?")

or
=ASK_LOCAL2(A2, B2, "Are two products having same color?")

=ASK_LOCAL2(A2, B2, "In what kind of packaging container is the product packed? Example of containers are: box, bottle, pouch, can, canister, bag, etc.")

=PERPLEXITY2(A2, B2, "What are common characteristics of the two products?")

=PERPLEXITY(A2, B2, C2, "How can we achieve Input1 from Input2, by utilizing Input3?")

=ASK_LOCAL3(C2, D2, E2,"Classify Input1 and Input2 by Input3.")

— and see powerful AI-generated output appear instantly in your spreadsheet!

Seamless Experience:
(Un)Perplexed Spready is designed with both beginners and advanced users in mind. Its user-friendly interface incorporates familiar spreadsheet features—such as cell formatting, copy/paste, auto-updating row heights, and advanced sorting—as well as innovative AI integration that brings a new level of interactivity. Every calculation, from basic arithmetic to AI-driven natural language queries, is processed swiftly and accurately.

Free and paid features

Basic spreadsheet functionality is completely free, but utilizing advanced AI-driven functions require purchasing and activation of commercial license, for a small fee.

Intelligent Licensing for Premium Features:
Only the premium AI-driven functions require a commercial license. This means while all basic spreadsheet features remain free, access to advanced AI-driven formulas like PERPLEXITY, ASK_LOCAL and ASK_REMOTE require purchasing commercial license.

When you launch (Un)Perplexed Spready, your license status is automatically verified—updating the main interface with clear feedback. For example, if your license is active, you’ll see “License: VALID” and a detailed status report; if not, you’ll be notified immediately that the premium features are locked. But, you will be able to use the program as a regular free spreadsheet software. Once you need advanced AI formulas, then you can purchase a license, for a price of two beers a month.

Once the license is validated, you can start using AI-powered functions in your formulas. Whether you’re analyzing large datasets or crafting creative reports.

How It Works

Install or Integrate Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) LLM models into your spreadsheet

"(Un)Perplexed Spready" is a peculiar spreadsheet software introducing possibility to utilize advanced LLM AI models directly inside custom formulas. Isn't that cool?

Imagine that - powerful AI models doing something useful for change, not only entartaining you in chat! We say: yeah, let AI do the hard work, while you drink your coffee and enjoy your life!

Currently, the following AI platforms are available via API:

1. Perplexity AI (https://www.perplexity.ai/) - a well known major commercial AI provider

2. Remotely hosted free Ollama based AI model (hosted on our server)

Currently we run Mistral:7b on our own server.

3. Locally installed free AI models (available by Ollama platform on https://ollama.com/)

Of the three options, most exciting option is the third one, which enables you to install any model available on Ollama platform (https://ollama.com/), run it on your local computer and immediately have it available to use it inside spreadsheets, by utilizing our (Un)Perplexed Spready software!

Isn't that cool? Oh, yes it is! The only limit is your HW. Fortunately, these days, Ollama provides models such as Mistral 7b, DeepSeek-1:7b and LLama2, which can run even on low-spec hardware, such as oldish office laptop. Choose from multitude of available models here: https://ollama.com/search

Embed Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) LLM models into your spreadsheet formulas

(Un)Perplexed Spready provides three corresponding set of formulas for these three AI options, in three variants differing in number of cell ranges input parameters, i.e. number of inputs for AI prompt.

1. Functions working with Perplexity AI

=PERPLEXITY1 (A2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=PERPLEXITY2 (A2, B2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=PERPLEXITY3 (A2, B2, C2, "Some instruction to AI...")

2. Functions working with locally installed AI model (by using Ollama platform)

=ASK_LOCAL1 (A2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=ASK_LOCAL2 (A2, B2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=ASK_LOCAL3 (A2, B2, C2, "Some instruction to AI...")

3. Functions working with remotelly hosted AI model (hosted on our server)

=ASK_REMOTE1 (A2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=ASK_REMOTE2 (A2, B2, "Some instruction to AI...")
=ASK_REMOTE3 (A2, B2, C2, "Some instruction to AI...")

Notice: Option 3 with AI model hosted on our server is at this stage intended only for demo and testing purposes, not for real production exploitation.
The hosting server has low hardware specifications, thus calculation is very slow.

We recommend you to install your own free AI model available on Ollama platform, according to your HW specs. This option will provide you highest flexibility and lowest costs. Of course, if you wish to have enterprise level accuracy of calculation, then choose Perplexity AI for superb speed and high quality of AI-driven answers.
