What is the Joshu Google Sheets connection?

Joshu connects to Google Sheets through Google OAuth. It reads cell ranges, creates new rows, updates records, and manages spreadsheet tabs. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a formula bar you have to manually audit.

Is my Google Sheets data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Spreadsheets Joshu reads and edits stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses files you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu overwrite my sheet data without asking?

By default, no. Row additions and cell edits wait on Joshu's desk for your sign-off before writing to the live spreadsheet. You inspect the proposed cells and values before changes apply.

What can Joshu access in Google Sheets?

Only the spreadsheets you authorize during Google sign-in. Joshu can read ranges, inspect tab structures, append rows, and insert formulas. It cannot view spreadsheets you keep outside the approved scope.

What is the difference between Google Sheets formulas and Joshu?

Formulas compute only what is already inside the grid. Joshu connects external information—like PDF receipts, email confirmations, and call notes—to the rows in your sheet, adding entries and explaining numbers in plain language.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month with a simple flat rate. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, eight-level cortex memory, and all tool connectors, including Google Sheets. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.

“Log this $420 software charge into the Q3 expenses tab.”

“What was our total wholesale revenue in August from the sales tracker?”

Joshu reads the relevant columns, calculates the sum, and cites the row range in its answer.

“Add the distributor contacts from this thread into the partners sheet.”

Joshu parses names, domains, and phone numbers, staging new rows in the sheet for your review.

What Joshu does

Joshu reads cell ranges across your spreadsheets, performs calculations, and writes new rows directly from incoming invoices, emails, or conversations. When you ask a question about monthly totals or client statuses, it inspects the live sheet and answers with row and cell references.

What you do

Connect Google Sheets using Google OAuth. Point Joshu at the spreadsheets you use for budgets, client rosters, or inventory. Confirm proposed row additions on Joshu's desk before they land in your active files.

Why it sticks

Spreadsheets stay useful only when people remember to update them. Joshu does the routine logging the moment receipts or client emails arrive.

Permissions and limits

Joshu accesses only the spreadsheets within the folders and drives you authorize. Row and cell edits respect the access level of the authenticated Google account. Access can be revoked anytime through Google security settings.
