Tool focusGemini, Google Sheets
Google says Gemini in Sheets can build and edit spreadsheets from natural language, including formulas, pivot tables and charts, with a plan for approval. For UK SMEs, that means dashboard drafting, not automatic reporting.
Practical SME workflow
Use it to support a board pack prep AI workflow. Ask for a first dashboard structure from approved KPI fields. Review the plan, formulas and chart choices before the dashboard becomes a reporting source.
Risk and control
Check availability and language limits before planning around the feature. Validate formulas, chart labels and assumptions. Do not publish generated dashboards without a finance or leadership review.
