Getting Started
What is FormulaAI?
FormulaAI is an AI-powered mobile app that converts natural language descriptions into spreadsheet formulas.

How do I get started with FormulaAI?
Download FormulaAI from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Open the app, select your spreadsheet platform (Excel, Google Sheets, or Apple Numbers), type a description of what you want, and get your formula instantly. No account required for the free tier.

FormulaAI is available on iPhone (iOS 16+), iPad, and Android devices (Android 8.0+). The app is optimized for both phone and tablet screen sizes.
Do I need an account to use FormulaAI?

Formulas & Features
Which spreadsheet apps does FormulaAI support?
FormulaAI supports all three major spreadsheet platforms: Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and Apple Numbers. Select your target platform before converting, and FormulaAI automatically uses the correct syntax — including platform-specific functions like XLOOKUP (Excel) or QUERY (Google Sheets).
What types of formulas can FormulaAI generate?
FormulaAI can generate virtually any spreadsheet formula: lookup formulas (VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH), conditional sums (SUMIF, SUMIFS, COUNTIF), logical formulas (IF, IFS, SWITCH), text functions (CONCATENATE, MID, TRIM), date formulas (DATEDIF, NETWORKDAYS, EOMONTH), array formulas (UNIQUE, SORT, FILTER), financial functions (PMT, FV, NPV), and Google Sheets-specific functions (QUERY, IMPORTRANGE, ARRAYFORMULA).
How accurate are the AI-generated formulas?
FormulaAI uses GPT-4o, one of the most advanced AI models, to generate highly accurate formulas with correct platform-specific syntax. Each formula includes a step-by-step explanation so you can verify it. We recommend reviewing formulas before using them with critical business data.
Can FormulaAI handle complex nested formulas?
Yes! FormulaAI excels at complex formulas with multiple nested functions. You can describe intricate requirements like "If the date is this month and the amount is over 1000, apply a 10% discount, otherwise keep the original" and get a complete nested formula.
Does FormulaAI explain how formulas work?
Yes — Premium users get AI-powered step-by-step explanations for every formula. Each explanation breaks down what each function does, how arguments connect, and why the formula produces the desired result. It is a great way to learn spreadsheet formulas over time.
Can I enter formula descriptions in my own language?
Yes! While the app interface supports English, German, Spanish, French, Lithuanian, Polish, and Portuguese, you can describe formulas in any language. The AI understands multiple languages and generates the correct formula regardless.

Privacy & Security
Is my data secure with FormulaAI?
Absolutely. All data is transmitted over HTTPS, stored with row-level security (RLS) in Supabase, and only accessible by you. Formula descriptions are processed via secure Edge Functions and are not used for AI model training. We never sell, rent, or share your personal data.

No. Your formula descriptions are sent to the AI service solely to generate your formula and are not used for training. Your conversion history is private and only accessible by you.

Technical
Can I use FormulaAI offline?
FormulaAI requires an internet connection to generate formulas, as AI processing happens on secure cloud servers. However, your conversion history is available offline once loaded.
Why do Excel and Google Sheets formulas sometimes look different?
Excel and Google Sheets have different function libraries and syntax rules. For example, XLOOKUP is a native Excel function, while Google Sheets uses QUERY for database-style lookups. FormulaAI automatically handles these platform differences so you always get the correct syntax.
Is there a desktop or web version?
FormulaAI is currently available as a mobile app for iOS and Android. Visit formulaai.app for the latest information on additional platforms.
What languages does the app interface support?
The FormulaAI interface is available in 7 languages: English, German (Deutsch), Spanish (Español), French (Français), Lithuanian (Lietuvių), Polish (Polski), and Portuguese (Português).
