How to set it up with Rows
  1. Sign up for Rows' free plan and create a spreadsheet.
  2. Bring data in by importing a CSV or Google Sheet, or by using a built-in connector such as Google Analytics, Stripe or HubSpot.
  3. Open the AI analyst and ask plain questions: 'monthly revenue by product, last 12 months, as a chart'.
  4. Check the formulas and tables it creates, since they are normal spreadsheet cells you can inspect and edit.
  5. Publish the sheet as a shareable report or embed it, and set connectors to refresh automatically.
