What are Sheets?

Sheets is a spreadsheet-like interface that lets you run Slate Workflows in bulk and interact with their outputs in one place. Think of it as a powerful data processing hub where each row represents a unit of work and columns can execute AI-powered workflows automatically. By using Sheets, you can efficiently process large volumes of data for tasks such as:
  • Content generation at scale
  • Sentiment analysis across datasets
  • Data enrichment and transformation
  • Bulk SEO optimization
  • Natural language processing
  • Lead qualification and scoring

​
Key Concepts

​
Sheets and Tabs

A Sheet is your primary workspace—similar to a spreadsheet file. Each Sheet can contain multiple Tabs, allowing you to organize related data and workflows together.

​
Column Types

Sheets support different column types for various data needs:
Column TypeDescription
TextPlain text data for inputs and notes
NumberNumeric values for calculations and metrics
MarkdownRich text content with formatting
WorkflowExecutes a Slate Workflow using row data as inputs
SuperblockRuns pre-built AI blocks for common tasks

​
Workflow Columns

The most powerful feature of Sheets is the Workflow column. When you add a Workflow column:
  1. Select any Workflow you’ve created
  2. Map sheet columns to workflow inputs
  3. Run the workflow for individual rows or in bulk
  4. View outputs directly in the sheet
This transforms your Workflows from single-run tools into scalable data processing pipelines.

  1. Add your data in text, number, or markdown columns
  2. Add a Workflow column and select your workflow
  3. Map inputs from your data columns to workflow inputs
  4. Run workflows for selected rows or all rows at once
  5. Review outputs directly in the sheet

​
Why Use Sheets?

​
Scale Your Workflows

Instead of running a workflow one item at a time, process hundreds or thousands of items in bulk. Perfect for:
  • Generating product descriptions for an entire catalog
  • Analyzing sentiment across customer reviews
  • Creating meta descriptions for all website pages
  • Enriching lead data with AI insights

​
Centralized Data Management

Keep all your inputs and outputs in one place. No more copying data between tools or losing track of results.

​
Flexible Organization

  • Create multiple sheets for different projects
  • Use tabs to organize related data within a sheet
  • Group sheets into folders for better organization
  • Search across all your sheets

​
Reusable Workflows

Build a workflow once, use it across multiple sheets and datasets. When you improve a workflow, all sheets using it benefit automatically.
