AI Customer Support with Google Sheets
Google Sheets is where most ops and support teams keep working data: promo codes, country-specific policies, manual order overrides, FAQs, and refund logs. The data lives in a sheet because it changes too often (or matters too rarely) to rebuild in a real database.
Minimal AI connects to Google Sheets and uses your sheets as a live data source. The AI can look up rows in real time, append new rows for every action it takes, and update existing rows when the support flow demands it.
Connecting is effortless. The AI Manager sets everything up for you in minutes - no developers, no complex configuration.
