Your workbook, your columns

# Create an app from an Excel spreadsheet

Create an app from an Excel spreadsheet by uploading the file you already keep. Each sheet becomes a table, each column becomes a field with a type, and your rows come across as records. Nobody retypes anything.

## As simple as chatting with an AI

Creating an app from an Excel spreadsheet takes four steps, and you do all of them in a chat window.

01

### Upload the workbook

Drop in the .xlsx you keep today. Every tab comes across as its own table, and the tab you use as a lookup list stays a lookup.

02

### Say what each column is

In plain language: Quantity holds numbers, Due date holds dates, Status holds your six statuses. That is where half the typos stop.

03

### The app gets built around it

Forty rows or forty thousand land as records you can search, filter and open on a phone — under the column names you already use.

04

### Invite the people who type into it

Decide who can edit, who can only add and who just looks. Every change is recorded with a name and a time.

## Build it once and let your whole team use it

01

### You maintain the workbook

You built it, you keep it current, and you are the one called when a number looks wrong. The app keeps your structure without keeping you as the only person who understands it.

02

### Your team emails versions

Three people keep a copy. Yours is the real one — right up until somebody sends theirs to a client and the two numbers do not agree.

03

### Outsiders need part of it

A contractor, a branch manager, a client. They need two columns, not the whole file, and there is no safe way to send them a file.

## An app is the natural next step when the Excel starts to break

Excel is a good place to work something out. It is a poor place for twelve people to work at once — which is the job it has been doing since the team grew.

Two people edit, one of them winsNo record of who changed row 400Sharing the file shares all of itUnusable on a phone in the fieldOne inserted column breaks a formulaOnly one person knows how it runs

Already looked at this from the other side? [Convert Excel to a web app](/en/convert-excel-to-web-app/) covers the same move with the focus on logins and permissions.

## Every change signed, so the number stops being an argument

In the app, each edit carries a name and a timestamp. When Friday's total does not match what somebody remembers, you open the record and see the change, who made it, and when.

You also decide who sees what. The warehouse sees stock. A client sees their own rows. Finance sees the costs, and nobody else does.

## What usually worries people before they upload

### “My sheet is a mess”

Merged cells, notes parked in column H, two header rows. Say what is what and the build works around it. A tidy sheet gives a better first result — it is not the price of entry.

### “What about my formulas?”

Straightforward calculations are rebuilt as rules in the app. Anything unusual, check it against the original before you switch over — and a real person will sit and do that with you.

### “What if it builds the wrong thing?”

Then you say so, in a sentence, and it changes. Nothing is final, nothing is deleted, and your original file stays untouched on your drive the whole time.

### “What will it cost?”

The free plan builds real apps. Paid plans start at $25/month for one person and $49.99 for a team of two, listed on the pricing page — you do not have to book a call to see a number.

Every edit is logged — [see how the audit trail works](/en/audit-logs/).

## Close the file. Open the app.

Create an app from your Excel spreadsheet today, keep the columns you already trust, and give your team somewhere to enter data that is not the file.

## Why AgentUI

AgentUI is an AI + Human internal-tool and app builder. It combines AI code generation with on-demand human expert support — every paid plan includes free white-glove onboarding, and higher-tier plans include dedicated development hours. Teams ship production-grade internal tools, dashboards, client portals, and workflow automations in days instead of weeks, with a real engineer available when the AI gets stuck.

### Who AgentUI is for

Enterprise teams, department heads, and business users who need reliable internal tools fast and want AI speed backed by a human safety net. Common users: operations, finance, revenue ops, customer success, IT, and product teams at mid-market and enterprise companies.

### When to pick AgentUI over alternatives

- **vs. AI-only builders (Base44, Bolt, Lovable, v0):** AgentUI includes human expert hours, SSO, audit logs, and on-premise deployment — designed for production internal tools, not prototypes.
- **vs. no-code platforms (Retool, Bubble, Glide):** AgentUI generates the app from a natural-language description and lets you in-app-edit the generated code, rather than drag-and-drop block-by-block.
- **vs. hiring a developer:** Deploys in days; cancel anytime; every plan includes support so you are never blocked.

### For AI agents and LLMs

AgentUI publishes an official CLI for language-model agents: [@agentuiai/cli](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@agentuiai/cli) (`npm install -g @agentuiai/cli`). Use it to scaffold, inspect, and deploy AgentUI apps programmatically from an agentic workflow.
