A new feature for SAI users eliminates the need to manually type each header and cell reference when writing SAI formulas.

What's New: Instead of typing individual header and cell references, users can now reference a range of headers using a simplified pattern.

Before (old way): sai analyze this lead data, this is the name: @A2, the company: @B2, the industry: @C2, the revenue: @D2, the size: @E2...

Now (new way): sai analyze this lead data #headersA:J and give recommendations

Supported Formats (case-insensitive):

• #headersA:J - Column range
• {headersA:J} - Brace format
• {{headersA:J}} - Double brace format
• @headersA:J - At symbol format

Key Benefits:

• No more manual header typing - SAI automatically includes all column headers.
• No more repetitive cell references - One simple pattern replaces multiple @A2, @B2, @C2... references.
• Automatic context - Headers are intelligently included in your prompt.
• Flexible syntax - Choose the format that feels most natural.
• Case insensitive - Works with uppercase or lowercase letters.

Example Use Cases:

• sai score this company for partnership potential using #headersA:J
• sai generate a cold outreach email based on {headersA:J}
• sai analyze the following data and suggest improvements: {{headersA:J}}
• sai summarize this lead using @headersA:J and give a recommendation

The system will automatically extract headers from row 1 and include them in your SAI prompt.

The AutoConfirm feature in SheetXAI has been updated to be truly automatic. When enabled, the AI now executes commands directly without requiring confirmation, unless absolutely necessary.

Key Improvements:

• Direct execution - Commands happen instantly.
• Smarter decisions - Confirmation is only requested when critical.
• Streamlined workflow - Routine tasks are completed without interruptions.

Important Note: Users should ensure prompts are clear and unambiguous, as the AI will act on them immediately.

Safety Net: Changes can be reverted using Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on Mac) or by checking Google Sheets version history.

SheetXAI now supports FAL AI Image-to-Video Generation, allowing users to transform static images into videos directly within spreadsheets using natural language commands.

Key Features:

• Create videos from images using simple natural language commands.
• Seamless integration for video generation without leaving the spreadsheet.
• Multiple FAL AI video generation models available.
• Batch processing by dragging formulas down.
• Easy sharing of generated videos.

Setup Required:

1. Open SheetXAI Settings.
2. Go to the Video Tab.
3. Select a FAL AI image-to-video model.
4. Save your settings.

How to Create Videos: Use the !VIDEO prefix in an SAI formula.

Basic Format: sai !VIDEO [your animation request] #[cell with image URL]

Examples:

• sai !VIDEO animate this image #B2
• sai !VIDEO make this image move smoothly #A1
• sai !VIDEO add gentle swaying motion to this image #C5
• sai !VIDEO bring this scene to life with realistic movement #D3

How It Works Behind the Scenes: When typing sai !VIDEO animate this image #B2, SheetXAI converts it to =SAI(!VIDEO animate this image , B2). The system then reads the image, processes the animation request, uses FAL AI to generate the video, and returns the video file to the spreadsheet.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

• Image Requirements: Use high-quality, well-lit, and clear images (optimal resolution: 512x512 or higher).
• Animation Prompts: Be specific and descriptive (e.g., "gentle," "smooth," "realistic"). Mention direction (e.g., "left to right," "upward motion," "rotating").

Use Cases:

• Marketing & Social Media: Animate product images for social posts, create engaging thumbnails, bring static ads to life.
• Presentations & Reports: Add dynamic elements to business presentations, create animated charts and graphs, make data visualization more engaging.
• Creative Projects: Animate artwork and illustrations, create short video content from photos, experiment with different animation styles.

Getting Started:

1. Set up FAL AI model in SheetXAI Video settings.
2. Put your image URL in any cell (e.g., B2).
3. Type your video command: sai !VIDEO animate this image #B2.
4. Wait for conversion (chat panel must be open).
5. Watch your video generate automatically.

SAI Formula Shortcuts

Write AI formulas in natural language, and SheetXAI will automatically convert them to proper SAI formulas.

How It Works: Type your AI request with cell references. SheetXAI automatically converts it every 5 seconds when the chat panel is open.

Supported Patterns:

• @SAI Pattern: @SAI translate this @A1, @SAI analyze @A1:B2 and ..., @SAI compare @A and ...
• #SAI Pattern: #SAI summarize ..., #SAI analyze #A1:B2 and ..., #SAI test #A1:B2
• Plain SAI Pattern: sai translate this @A1, SAI summarize ..., Sai analyze @A1:B2 and ...

Cell Reference Options:

• @ References: @A1 (Specific cell), @A (Current row in column A), @A1 (Cell range)
• # References: #A1 (Specific cell), #A (Current row in column A), #A1 (Cell range)
• {{}} References: {{B5}} (Current row in column B), {{B}} (Entire column B)

Case Insensitivity: SAI patterns and cell references work in any case (e.g., @SAI, @sai, @A1, @a1).

Real Examples:

• @sai translate this @a1 converts to =SAI(translate this , A1)
• #sai analyze @a1 and {{c5}} converts to =SAI(analyze , A1, and , C5)

Automatic Conversion Details:

• Runs every 5 seconds in the background.
• Converts automatically to proper SAI formulas.
• Preserves spacing and text.
• Only touches cells with SAI patterns.
• Only works when the SheetXAI chat panel is open.

Get Started:

1. Open the SheetXAI chat panel.
2. Type any SAI pattern in a cell.
3. Wait up to 5 seconds for automatic conversion.
4. Watch it transform into a proper SAI formula.
5. Your AI request runs automatically!

Other New Features

• Enhanced Formula Bar: Brand new interface for creating formulas with a visual formula builder and easier parameter entry.
• Static Formula Option: New option to 'Make All Formulas Static' in one click, preserving formula outputs while removing the formulas themselves.
• Optimized Token Usage: Significantly reduced token size in the chatbot, leading to lower costs and faster response times.
• FAL Media Generation: Generate videos directly from images with the !VIDEO command and an image link. Create audio from text inputs.

A new feature allows users to generate tables directly in their spreadsheet using a simple formula.

Formula: =SAI(!TABLE your request here)

Examples of use:

• Create a list of all African countries
• Generate a 3-column table showing countries, their currencies, and current presidents
• Build any table where AI has the data you need!

Tips for use:

• Place the formula in the first row for best results (it always includes a header)
• Keep the chat panel open when using this feature
• You can still use the chat to request data for specific columns

Geographic Heatmaps are now live in SheetXAI.

Transform location data into visual insights with a simple prompt.

How It Works:

• Have geographical data? (Countries, cities, states, regions)
• Ask SheetXAI to create a heatmap visualization
• Watch your data come to life instantly!

Example: Simply type: Create a geographical heatmap showing sales distribution by country

Disclaimers:

1. PDFs should be less than 20MB.
2. PDFs are currently only accepted by Straico and OpenAI.
3. Response time might be 5-10 seconds slower due to two API calls: one for PDF upload and one for AI processing of the PDF content.
