What is Quadratic?
Quadratic is a spreadsheet application with a built-in AI assistant and support for code inside cells. Users bring in CSV, Excel, PDF and Parquet files or connect live sources such as Postgres, MySQL, BigQuery and Snowflake, along with services including QuickBooks, Plaid, Google Analytics and Mixpanel. A question typed in ordinary English is turned into formulas, Python or SQL cells and charts, and each generated cell can be opened, read and edited so the method behind a result is visible. The site says a sheet can hold 100 million rows. Quadratic also exposes an API for reading and writing cells and triggering AI runs, and it supports the Model Context Protocol so external agents can work in a sheet. Plans range from a free Personal tier to Pro, Business and Enterprise.
