Spreadsheets

Ask any agent for "an Excel", "a spreadsheet", or "a downloadable table" and you get a real .xlsx file — multiple tabs, a header row, and a download that opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets like any other workbook.

Not a markdown table pasted into the chat. An actual file.

What you get

Every agent on your team can build a spreadsheet. When one does, three things appear:

• A card in the chat, at the point in the conversation where the agent made it, showing the file name, the format and the size — plus a small live preview of the first sheet so you can sanity-check it before opening anything.
• A built-in viewer in the side panel when you click the card: a tab strip for every sheet, a sticky header row, row numbers down the side, and a scrollable table.
• A file you own, sitting in private storage, downloadable whenever you want it.

Ask for one

Any agent, any conversation. You don't need to open a special tool.

Multiple tabs are worth asking for explicitly. "One tab per category plus a summary tab" produces a far more useful workbook than one long flat sheet, and the agents are steered to do exactly that when you say so.

Open, read, export

1. Click the card in the chat. The spreadsheet viewer opens in the side panel next to your conversation.
2. Switch sheets with the tab strip at the top. Every sheet in the workbook is parsed and browsable.
3. Open the download menu in the panel header.
4. Pick a destination:

Limits worth knowing

These are hard caps in the code, not guidance:

If a workbook would exceed 8 MB, the agent is told to reduce the number of rows rather than hand you a broken file. Ask for a filtered or aggregated version instead — "just the top 500 by revenue", "monthly totals rather than every transaction".

Who computes, who builds

This distinction matters, and it's the difference between a spreadsheet you can trust and one you can't.

Any agent can build the file. The agent supplies the rows itself — from what it knows, from what you told it, from what it read in your Neural Core or in a file you attached. That's perfect for catalogues, calendars, lists, plans and structured content.

Blake is the agent who computes. Blake, your data analyst, runs real Python — pandas, numpy — over your data rather than estimating arithmetic in his head. If you need growth rates, percentiles, segment breakdowns or anything where a wrong number is worse than no number, ask Blake. See Data analysis.

Turn a file you have into a spreadsheet

You can attach an existing file to a chat message and ask any agent to work from it — Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, JSON and more, up to 20 MB. The agent reads the content directly; no copy-pasting.

For big spreadsheets the agent is given the structure and a sample of the rows rather than the whole table — which keeps it fast and honest about what it's looking at. See File attachments.

Where your spreadsheets live

Spreadsheets land in private storage that only you can read. Not a public link, not a shareable URL — a private bucket where the access rule is your own account ID, and where no shareable link is ever created or stored. When you click download, your browser fetches the file using your own logged-in session.

That means: as long as the conversation is there, its spreadsheet card still works. It also means nobody who gets hold of the conversation gets hold of the file.

Your spreadsheets stay until you delete them or delete your account — at which point every deliverable is purged from storage along with everything else. See Your data and deletion.

Saving to Google Drive

Both Save to Drive and Edit in Google Sheets need Google Drive connected. Unyo asks Google for the narrowest Drive permission that exists — drive.file, which means Unyo can only ever touch files you personally picked or that Unyo itself created. It cannot browse, search or read the rest of your Drive. Ever.

If Drive isn't connected, you'll get a prompt and a direct link to the right card in Integrations (in the sidebar). See Google Drive.

Troubleshooting

The viewer says "showing 1 000 of …" — that's the on-screen cap, and it's expected. Download the Excel or CSV to get every row.

The agent gave me a table in the chat instead of a file. Ask explicitly: "give me that as an Excel file" or "as a downloadable spreadsheet". The wording "Excel", "spreadsheet", ".xlsx" or "downloadable table" is what triggers the file.

"Save to Drive" opened a tab and then sent me to Integrations. Your Google Drive connection is missing or expired. Reconnect from the Integrations page in the sidebar and try again — expired grants are cleared automatically, so a reconnect is all it takes.

The file was rejected as too large. The 8 MB ceiling was hit. Ask for fewer rows, fewer columns, or an aggregated version.

The numbers look wrong. If a non-analyst agent produced them, they were written rather than computed. Ask Blake to recompute — he runs real code and shows the computation as a step.
