What is Rows?

Rows is a spreadsheet application that combines traditional spreadsheet functionality with built-in AI capabilities and pre-configured data integrations. Unlike standard spreadsheet tools, Rows lets you connect directly to external data sources, APIs, and services without writing code, then analyse and manipulate that data within a familiar grid interface. The tool uses AI to help with formulas, data analysis, and automation tasks. It's designed for people who work regularly with data but prefer a visual interface over programming, including analysts, small business owners, and operations teams who need to pull data from multiple sources into one place.
