Quadratic is a modern AI-enabled spreadsheet built for technical teams. Built to make working with data easier and faster than ever.
Quadratic combines a familiar spreadsheet and formulas with the power of AI and modern coding languages like Python, SQL, and JavaScript. Quadratic is built to be the fastest and most flexible way to work with your data.

Get started in Quadratic by creating your first blank sheet or picking an example file.
Here is a list of some common first things to do in Quadratic:
Start your first first line of code by simply pressing /
after clicking a cell. This will open the command palette.
Picking your cell type will open the editor where you can start writing code.
In Quadratic you can reference cells in the spreadsheet to use in your code, and you can return results from your Python analysis back to the spreadsheet. By default, the last line of code is returned to the spreadsheet.
Single referenced cells are put in a variable with the appropriate data type. Multi-line references are placed in a DataFrame. Learn more here.
To learn more about Python, visit the Python section of the docs.
Formulas in Quadratic are similar to how you'd expect in any spreadsheet. Formulas are relatively referenced as seen below.
To learn more about Formulas, visit the Formulas section of the docs.
With SQL in Quadratic you can create live connections from your spreadsheets to your data sources. Data from your SQL queries is returned to the sheet, anchored at the position of the SQL cell. Use the AI assistant to rapidly generate accurate SQL queries, and view your SQL schema in the editor's schema viewer. You can learn more here.
To learn more about SQL and connections, visit the SQL section of the docs.
Press /
while in a cell and pick JavaScript as your code type.
From here, you'll find a first-class JavaScript experience. Do analytics, query APIs, use JavaScript packages, and create charts.
