As an accountant who lives on spreadsheets, this feels like a huge upgrade. Cleaner views plus less manual work is always a win. Rohan, have you seen accountants use Pane yet? Curious what common use cases look like in real life.
@taxapreneur Hey Argel, thanks for the kind words! Since we're early, I am starting to look into how accountants adapt it, but it seems like reconciliation is currently the strongest use case.
Pane is great at taking messy bank descriptions (e.g. "AMZN MKTPLC") and automatically mapping them to GL categories or vendors. It can already connect to your bank to fetch transactions (Stripe coming soon).
I'd actually love to hear if this workflow fits how you operate, would be happy to get your feedback!

This looks a bit like Sheet0 (unless I'm missing something?)
Gemini shows promise inside Sheets, but, as Rohan says, it's mostly guidance, rather than actions. If Pane can solve this, that will be great. That said, if it means switching to a fully new platform is going to be almost impossible for me. If Pane somehow worked INSIDE Sheets, that would be a different story. I need to do more reading.
In any case, thanks for trying to solve a major problem for so many of us, @rohan_bajpai1
@rohan_bajpai1 I tried out Pane just now for a specific task impossible in Sheets. I copied the content over, asked Pane to do the task. I did it, but only after multiple prompts and cajoling. So much potential here. I am sure Rohan can look at the sheet and what worked and what didn't.
Right now, as I'm typing this, I realized, I hadn't named the document itself, so I tried to get Pane to rename the document to Sree Tests Pane. It created a new tab and renamed that, but did not renamed the whole document.
Also: I am used to, in Excel (which I barely touch) and Sheets (which I used multiple times a day) to hitting the top of a column and selecting that column; doesn't seem to work in Pane.
@sree Thanks for taking such a detailed look Sree! Yes - I had considered building Pane into Sheets initially but felt like I wanted more control over the whole experience and UI/UX.
Thanks for finding the sheet naming bug - looking into in now and it should be fixed shortly. You can also manually rename sheets for now by clicking the title name.
Sent you a PM on LinkedIn about the sheet you tested. I actually don't store chat history right now so curious as to what kind of cajoling you needed to make it work. Sent you a PM!
@abod_rehman Thanks, Abdul! Spreadsheets also have a special place in my heart. They're simple enough to do the trick, but the dream is definitely to just hand off the busy work so you can focus on the insights!

Love the product, really solid launch 👏 Quick note: as products like this scale, documenting AI use and setting clear internal rules becomes important fast (investors, platforms, users start asking). I work on exactly that (AI passports, acceptable-use rules, risk checks). What’s the best way to contact you privately (email or WhatsApp)? Had a quick question and didn’t want to clutter the comments.
@hyder_moedeen1 Thanks for checking it out Hyder! Compliance and trust are definitely priorities for me as Pane scales. If you have specific resources to share, feel free to shoot me a DM on X: @RohanBajpawq0t

Spreadsheets will always have a special place in my heart... but sometimes I wish I could just hand them off to someone else (like Pane) :)
