Quadratic is an AI-enabled spreadsheet that combines spreadsheet formulas with Python, SQL, JavaScript, live data connections, and AI. Users can ask questions in plain English and inspect or edit the formulas, code, and charts AI generates in spreadsheet cells. It imports CSV, Excel, Parquet, PDF, and Google Sheets files, and connects to sources including PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, QuickBooks, Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Plaid, and Salesforce. Quadratic says a sheet can hold 100 million rows and supports multi-gigabyte CSV and Parquet imports. Its MCP server lets compatible AI tools read sheets, write cells and charts, and run Python, SQL, and formulas; the API can trigger AI runs and read or write cells. Quadratic says data is stored and calculations run on the user's computer by default. The free Personal plan has limits on AI usage, sharing, files, connections, and support. Pro is $18.00 USD per month when billed annually, with $20 in monthly AI credits. Desktop apps are available for macOS and Windows, and the product describes a mobile interface for phones.
