#1: My Journey into Build in Pubic


How it Started?

Every product starts with a problem, and AI for Sheets is no exception. As someone who works extensively with data and content, I found myself repeatedly using ChatGPT to generate text for various topics. The results were impressive, but there was a significant limitation: I needed to do this for 50 different topics, and the manual process was becoming tedious.

From Spreadsheet to Product

The solution seemed straightforward at first: create a spreadsheet, list all the topics, and use a formula to automate the text generation process. I tested this approach, and it worked surprisingly well. The efficiency gain was immediate, and the quality remained consistent across all topics.

But then came the realization: I can’t be the only one facing this challenge. If this solution was valuable to me, it could be valuable to others as well. That’s when AI for Sheets began to take shape as a product rather than just a personal tool.

Building in Public

I aim to creating something genuinely useful and easy to use. This blog will serve as my “build in public” platform, where I’ll document:

  1. Technical challenges and solutions
  2. Product decisions and their outcomes
  3. Growth strategies and metrics
  4. Lessons learnt along the way

I believe in transparency and feedback. By sharing my journey, I hope to not only build a better product but also connect with people.
