Quickstart: Google Sheets
Get up and running with ModelMonkey in Google Sheets in 5 minutes
Step 1: Install ModelMonkey
Install the ModelMonkey add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace:
- Open any Google Sheets spreadsheet
- Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons
- Search for "ModelMonkey"
- Click Install and grant the required permissions
Once installed, you'll see ModelMonkey in your Extensions menu.
Tip
ModelMonkey only requests the minimum permissions needed to read and modify your spreadsheets.
Step 3: Try Your First Task
Let's try a simple task to see ModelMonkey in action. With some data in your spreadsheet, try one of these prompts:
- "Summarize this data"
- "Calculate the total of column B"
- "Find any duplicate values"
- "Create a chart from this data"
Type your request in the chat box and press Enter. ModelMonkey will analyze your spreadsheet and respond with either an answer or a proposed plan of action.
Step 4: Review and Approve Changes
Before making any changes to your spreadsheet, ModelMonkey shows you exactly what it plans to do:
- Review the plan - See the steps ModelMonkey will take
- Ask questions - Request clarification if needed
- Approve or modify - Accept the plan or ask for adjustments
- Watch it work - ModelMonkey executes the approved changes
You're always in control. Nothing happens without your approval.
Warning
Always review changes before approving, especially on important spreadsheets.
