Guse - The easiest way to automate work with AI
Guse is a simple spreadsheet that enables anyone to automate workflows with AI. Building a workflow is as easy as adding columns to a sheet and deploying just takes a single click. No new interfaces to learn, design paradigms to wrestle with, or code needed.

👋 Hey Product Hunt, I’m Kevin, Co-founder of Guse! Today we’re officially launching Guse - the easiest way to automate workflows with AI.
After taking hundreds of customer calls while building other products and solutions, we quickly realized that what the majority of teams and people crave from AI is just some form of automation - whether that be automating research, a single task, or anything in between.
🚩 The Problem
Current automation tools have steep learning curves that almost instantly deter the majority of people away from even taking the first step at building anything out - myself included.
✅ Our Solution
That’s why we set out to completely reimagine the interface and ground it in something everyone knows: spreadsheets. With this interface, building out a workflow in Guse is as simple as adding a column in a sheet.
We also make it extremely easy for you to let others use a workflow you’ve created. With a single click, you can deploy it as a public app 🚀.
What Teams Are Already Doing with Guse:
Sales prospect enrichment: Enriching prospects to get information on their LinkedIn, email, background, experiences, company, etc.
Automate outbound: Start with each new user signup for your product and get emails drafted and into your inbox to send out.
Creating charts from data: Turning raw data into a completed Excel file with a chart specific to your request.
Invoice Processing: Take any unstructured invoice and extract the exact data needed, do calculations on the data, and determine invoice approval.
SEO Marketing: Start with any topic or content and get a completed, SEO-optimized blog post with a cover picture.
We also love building custom workflows, so feel free to 📅 schedule a call or just get started at guse.io and automate something today!
@kevin_lu13 loving how it simplifies workflow automation with spreadsheets.
@masump Definitely! Spreadsheets are the most universal interface for work and so it only made sense to use it to simplify workflow automation away from the notoriously complex drag and drop builders.
@kevin_lu13 Simple yet powerful, I love the product’s simplicity. Congrats on the launch!
@dineshan_sithamparanathan thank you :) Glad you enjoyed it
@dineshan_sithamparanathan Thanks so much! Our goal really is to make automating work as simple and easy as possible and will soon get to a point where fully working automations can just be prompted into existence.
All the best for the launch @kevin_lu13 & team!
many thanks!@parekh_tanmay
thank you @parekh_tanmay !
@parekh_tanmay thanks :)

Hey Kevin, congrats on the launch of Guse! It sounds like you've crafted a remarkably intuitive solution by embracing the simplicity of spreadsheets to make workflow automation accessible for everyone. The current disconnect between AI potential and user-friendliness is a real barrier, so it’s exciting to see a product tackling this with such an inclusive approach.
Hearing what teams are already accomplishing with Guse, it’s clear you’ve tapped into a range of practical applications that could genuinely transform everyday tasks into efficient processes. I’m curious, have you noticed any unexpected ways people are using Guse that surprised you?
Congrats on the launch! Best wishes and sending lots of wins :) @kevin_lu13
@whatshivamdo Thanks so much! One interesting use case has actually been for prompt engineering and model iteration. Guse makes it really easy to quickly try out a bunch of different models and prompts for the same task and see the results from each.
All the best folks!
@ashish549222576 thanks!
@ashish549222576 thank you!
Whats the coolest 3 things you have seen been built with Guse?
@sentry_co Property research has been really interesting and it's so cool we've offered it as a template to start with in Guse. This flow basically starts with any property address, finds all information on the property regarding price, price history, neighboring properties, community, etc. The flow then finds the leasing agent of the property as well as their email and then drafts up an email to the leasing agent inquiring about the property. With the workflow built in Guse, running this entire process is as simple as inputting in a new address and running a row :).
Thats a really cool use-case. So in that kind of scenario, what API's does it use to obtain real estate information? As this kind of data is usually very scattered and different from every country. And usually semi secured in data silos, it sometimes can be scraped but that too is hard to do at scale, because the systems will detect bot behaviour and data extraction. So how does guse kind of navigate and extract data? Since that part is the hardest when creating automation flows, for repetitive work.
@sentry_co Great question! We actually have an agentic AI that searches and scours the web as much of this data is publicly available.
@kevin_lu13 Now that is interesting. So the workflows that people create uses a behind the scene AI spider. that crawls around with different IPs, getting through different captchas etc, I guess? Would be awesome to know more about how that works. What about user authentication? How is that handled. Say I want to operate on data that is behind authwalls. Wont the services then ban my user account? if that User auth comes from an IP that isnt used before etc?
@sentry_co I love the spider analogy! Yes, you can think of it as an in depth scour of the web for information - this just applies of course to our web search column; other actions actually have APIs built in place behind the scenes. To answer the second question, you're completely right in that we currently can't get behind authwalls but we will have this coming very soon if you just provide credentials to certain data sources.

Can the inputs be filled automatically too? Like, if I have a new data entry, can it paste itself into Guse and go through all the automations?
@snxzy Yes, we have triggers coming soon which do exactly this! Basically these would listen to data coming from somewhere else and create + run a new row with new data everytime the trigger condition is met. For example, this could be a trigger listening to responses on a form and for each new response, a row is created with the response + person's email and an email is drafted up in your inbox to send out to that person.
Love this simple design and can't wait to try it out. congrats on the launch!
@alice_le thanks so much, we put a ton of effort into the design of the UI and the UX so please let me know what you end up finding it useful for!
Guse sounds like a game-changer for automating workflows with AI, making it super simple with just a spreadsheet! It’s amazing that no coding or new interfaces are required. On a similar note, using an MPC Wallet offers seamless, secure management of digital assets, splitting private keys for extra protection
@alina2456 We definitely agree the spreadsheet interface is currently still the most familiar work interface for most of the world!
Grats on the launch! Excited to see the progression of @Guse @kevin_lu13
@adr12909 Thanks so much and we have so many exciting things on the roadmap!

Congratulations on the launch, Kevin! Guse sounds like an absolute game-changer for automating workflows with AI. The simplicity of using spreadsheets as an interface is brilliant—I'm sure it will make automation accessible to so many more people. Can't wait to see how teams will leverage Guse to streamline their tasks and boost productivity. Best of luck, and here's to transforming the world of automation!
@andy_wong4 Thanks so much Andy! We definitely put a ton of effort into deciding on the spreadsheet interface and hope to only make it easier and easier from here for people to automate even the most complex work in a matter of seconds.
Congrats on launching Guse!
Love how it keeps things simple, just a spreadsheet, no complicated UI or learning curve. How does it handle integrations with existing tools like Google Sheets or Notion?
@mrrabbar Thanks so much and that was definitely our goal with going with a a spreadsheet interface. Right now, you can import other spreadsheets in via a csv file. In the future we will have more native ways to easily work and integrate with tools like sheets and notion.
What's the pricing?
@tomm_p It's 1000 credits free (1 credit is equivalent to a single run in Guse) and then its $75 for the next plan up which is 35,000 credits and then we have higher tiers for enterprise and those needing more than 35,000 credits.
Thanks, looks reasonable, maybe publish it on the website? I suppose it's 75$ pay as you go, or is it monthly?
@tomm_p Agreed, we will get that up! It is $75 / monthly.
