Getting started#
Every add-on works the same way: install it once from the Google Workspace Marketplace, open it from the Extensions menu in any Google Sheet, and work from the sidebar on the right.
Install an add-on#
- Open the add-on's page on this site (for example ParseSheet AI) and click Install from the Marketplace.
- Sign in with the Google account you use for Sheets and click Install.
- Google shows the permissions the add-on needs. Review them and click Allow. Each permission is explained in the add-on's guide under Permissions.
Using Google Workspace at work? Your admin may need to allow the add-on first. Send them the add-on's Marketplace link, or install it for the whole domain from the Admin console.
Open it in a sheet#
- Open any Google Sheet (or create one at sheets.new).
- Click Extensions → add-on name → Open.
- The sidebar opens on the right. The card at the top shows your credit balance and plan.
Your first run#
Each add-on has a quick way to see it work:
| Add-on | Try this first |
|---|---|
| ParseSheet AI | Load demo invoice, then Select PDF invoices with one real invoice |
| BankStmt AI | Select statement PDFs with one month's statement |
| ContractSentinel | Insert tracker template (adds a sample row) |
| TimeSheet Sync | Add one client rate card, then Scan calendar for this month |
| LocaleSheet AI | Pick a short text column and one target language |
| SlideSync Studio | Pick a KPI range and a template with {{placeholders}}, then Check template |
Free credits#
AI features use credits. New accounts get free credits the first time they run a paid action, with no card needed. See Billing & credits for what each action costs and how plans work.
Reviewing results#
Add-ons never hide uncertainty. When a check fails, the cell is shaded orange and carries a note that says why (hover over the cell to read it). Rows that need a look get Needs review in the Review Status column. Change it to Verified once you've checked, or Ignored to leave it out of exports.
Getting help#
- Each add-on guide has a Troubleshooting section.
- Error messages include a short reference code. Include it when you email support so we can find what happened.
