Pull the details from these order emails and add a row to my tracker for each one.

  3. 3

    Add or update the right row in your spreadsheet, CRM, or Airtable base.

Hand off automate data entry

Delegate it once and a worker handles it from here — you keep approval.

Questions

Can data entry be automated with AI?
Yes. An AI worker can read emails, PDFs, and form responses, pull out the fields you care about, and file them into a spreadsheet or CRM — the repetitive copy-paste work, done for you. Each write waits for your approval.
What can it pull data from?
Inbound emails, attached PDFs and receipts, and form submissions. It extracts the fields you name — names, amounts, dates, line items — and maps them to your columns.
Where does the data go?
Into Google Sheets, Airtable, or your CRM — wherever you keep the record. The worker adds or updates the right row and keeps a full audit trail of every change.
Will it write to my systems without approval?
No. By default every write is proposed and held for your approval, so a bad extraction never lands in your data. You review the flagged rows and approve the rest in one pass.
