Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Rohan, the founder of Pane. Spreadsheets have quietly stood the test of time. For decades, they’ve remained the most flexible, universal tool for thinking with data used by analysts, operators, founders, and engineers alike. Despite waves of new software, spreadsheets never went away… because nothing else matched their adaptability. But working with them is still painfully manual. Cleaning data, extracting tables, writing formulas, debugging edge cases are all slow and brittle. Most “AI for spreadsheets” tools generate answers. Pane is different: it generates actions. Pane is an agentic-native spreadsheet where AI works directly in the grid: editing cells, writing real formulas, and building charts step by step, the same way a human expert would. Nothing is hidden or black-boxed; every change is visible and editable. You can upload a CSV, XLSX, or even a PDF, and simply describe what you want: - extract tables from PDFs - clean messy data - run analysis - create formulas - build charts Pane does everything using standard spreadsheet operations, so you always understand how the result was produced. I built Pane for people who rely on spreadsheets and want them to finally evolve, without losing what made them timeless. Would love your feedback: What spreadsheet task do you wish you could just describe instead of doing manually? What would make you trust AI inside a spreadsheet? I’ll be here all day answering questions. Thanks for checking it out 🙏

@rohan_bajpai1 The PDF table extraction feature caught my eye! It's usually a massive pain to get clean data out of PDFs into a spreadsheet format. Having an AI agent handle that directly in the grid sounds like a dream for data analysts. Congrats on being #3 today!

@layli Glad you noticed that feature and thank you! What kinds of PDFs do you usually work with?

Wow, Pane looks amazing! Im blown away by the idea of AI directly editing formulas. How does it handle conflicting instructions across multiple cells? Super cool stuff!

@jaydev13 Thanks Jay! Since the agent writes standard formulas that are calculated natively by the app (just like traditional Excel), any logical conflicts or circular dependencies will just trigger standard error flags in the cell. Trying to keep the behavior predictable and familiar!

Love the product, really solid launch 👏
Quick note: as products like this scale, documenting AI use and setting clear internal rules becomes important fast (investors, platforms, users start asking).
I work on exactly that (AI passports, acceptable-use rules, risk checks).
What’s the best way to contact you privately (email or WhatsApp)? Had a quick question and didn’t want to clutter the comments.

@hyder_moedeen1 Thanks for checking it out Hyder! Compliance and trust are definitely priorities for me as Pane scales. If you have specific resources to share, feel free to shoot me a DM on X: @RohanBajpawq0t

Spreadsheets will always have a special place in my heart... but sometimes I wish I could just hand them off to someone else (like Pane) :)

@abod_rehman Thanks, Abdul! Spreadsheets also have a special place in my heart. They're simple enough to do the trick, but the dream is definitely to just hand off the busy work so you can focus on the insights!

Really cool product! I have a few questions:

  1. Is the data in the spreadsheet sent/stored in any databases?

  2. Does Pane have a reversion feature? Like if I executed a series of updates using Pane, and how I want to revert them, can it do that?

@anubhaw_mathur Thanks Anubhaw! Yes, spreadsheet data is stored in a database, sheets will persist across sessions and are auto-saved.

You can revert any set of operations made by the Pane agent, on top of the traditional CMD+Z shortcut!

Gemini shows promise inside Sheets, but, as Rohan says, it's mostly guidance, rather than actions. If Pane can solve this, that will be great. That said, if it means switching to a fully new platform is going to be almost impossible for me. If Pane somehow worked INSIDE Sheets, that would be a different story. I need to do more reading.

In any case, thanks for trying to solve a major problem for so many of us, @rohan_bajpai1

@rohan_bajpai1 I tried out Pane just now for a specific task impossible in Sheets. I copied the content over, asked Pane to do the task. I did it, but only after multiple prompts and cajoling. So much potential here. I am sure Rohan can look at the sheet and what worked and what didn't.

Right now, as I'm typing this, I realized, I hadn't named the document itself, so I tried to get Pane to rename the document to Sree Tests Pane. It created a new tab and renamed that, but did not renamed the whole document.

Also: I am used to, in Excel (which I barely touch) and Sheets (which I used multiple times a day) to hitting the top of a column and selecting that column; doesn't seem to work in Pane.

Thanks and continued good wishes.

@sree Thanks for taking such a detailed look Sree! Yes - I had considered building Pane into Sheets initially but felt like I wanted more control over the whole experience and UI/UX.

Thanks for finding the sheet naming bug - looking into in now and it should be fixed shortly. You can also manually rename sheets for now by clicking the title name.

Sent you a PM on LinkedIn about the sheet you tested. I actually don't store chat history right now so curious as to what kind of cajoling you needed to make it work. Sent you a PM!

@new_user___01920256530b9f092c9e057 Using a mixture of models, but Gemini 3 Pro is the heavy lifter!
