What is Equals?

Equals is a spreadsheet with a built-in AI assistant designed to speed up common spreadsheet work. It combines formula creation, SQL queries, data summarization, and real-time collaboration in one tool. Core features include:

• 100+ formulas, with formula auto-extension during model refreshes
• SQL support: a built-in SQL editor, a visual query builder for non-SQL users, and AI help to generate, edit, explain, and fix queries
• Professional-grade charting and data visualization
• Real-time collaboration, so teams can work in the same spreadsheet simultaneously
• Version history to track changes and reproduce results
• Data connectors to 10+ data sources, automating data collection
• Scheduled queries that run automatically

The AI component, Equals AI Assist, generates insights, builds dashboards, and connects to GPT-4 Turbo for instant SQL help and chart creation. On the security side, Equals is SOC 2 Type II compliant and does not train on your data.
