We get it. Spreadsheets are for numbers, formulas, and pivot tables. Not for sending emails, right?
Wrong.
I decided to test just how capable our AI spreadsheet really is. I opened Sourcetable and simply asked: "How can I send an email?"
What Happened Next Felt Like Magic
Instead of redirecting me to documentation or telling me it's impossible, Sourcetable's AI:
1. Corrected me - explaining that IMAP is for receiving emails, and I'd need SMTP to send them
2. Walked me through setup - step-by-step instructions for getting a Gmail app password
3. Securely stored my credentials - encrypted and ready to use
4. Connected to my inbox - retrieved my emails and put them in a spreadsheet
5. Sent a reply - all from a simple conversational request
No coding required. No tutorials. No plugins. Just a conversation.
From Question to Working Email Integration in Minutes
Here's what actually happened:
- Asked: "How can I send an email?"
- Got: Clear instructions on SMTP vs IMAP, app password setup, and security best practices
- Provided: My Gmail credentials (go to https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords)
- Result: Emails fetched, displayed in a clean table, and replied to — all within the spreadsheet
This Is What an AI Spreadsheet Should Do
Most spreadsheets make you search documentation, install add-ons, or write complex scripts. Sourcetable just... does it.
You describe what you want. It figures out how. It handles the technical details. It executes.
Real AI. Real capability. Real spreadsheet.
Want to see what else Sourcetable can do? Connect your data sources, run Python analysis, or just ask it a question. You might be surprised by what's possible.
