Roles and audit trail included

# Turn your spreadsheet into an app

Turn your spreadsheet into an app and the file eight people can wreck becomes a tool with roles, an audit trail and one source of truth. Same columns, same team, same Monday — except every edit is now attributed, bad values get rejected at the form, and nobody is deciding from a copy saved last week. AI does the building. A real person stays on your account until the team has actually moved over.

One shared record. Not eleven versions in a folder.

## Turn a spreadsheet into an app and four things change on day one

### Cells become validated fields

A form replaces free typing. A date column only takes dates, a status column only takes the statuses you allow, and required actually means required.

### Tabs become views

Each team sees the rows and columns that belong to them, instead of scrolling past nine tabs they were told not to touch.

### The share link becomes roles

Viewer, editor, approver, admin. Access is granted per person and per role — not to anyone who ends up with the link.

### Version history becomes an audit log

Every change is stored with the name, the field, the old value and the timestamp. Readable months later, not buried in a revision sidebar.

Starting from an .xlsx file? [Convert Excel to a web app](/en/convert-excel-to-web-app/) walks through the import step by step. Want the build walkthrough instead? [Turn a spreadsheet into an app, no code required](/en/no-code-spreadsheet-to-app/) covers the four steps end to end.

02 / Who it's for

## Built for the one shared file that has outgrown itself

If your team runs on a single spreadsheet that a dozen people open at once — an order log, a shift roster, a stock count, a client tracker — this page is for you. The tell is not the size of the file. It is that you have started guarding it: a tab named DO NOT EDIT, a weekly backup copy, a message asking everyone to close the file before you touch the pivot.

## Nobody knows who overwrote row 400

A spreadsheet has no idea who its users are. It hands the same power to the new hire and the finance lead, and the only account of what happened is a revision list nobody can read a week later.

So the damage stays quiet. A dragged formula that now points one row off. A paste that turned numbers into text. A filter someone left on while another person deleted "the empty rows". You find it a month later, inside a report you have already sent.

The fix is not another rule in a pinned comment. It is a system that decides what people are allowed to do — and remembers what they did.

04 / The guardrails

## Roles, permissions and a change history your spreadsheet cannot give you

### Role-based access

Decide who can view, edit, approve and export — down to the row. The people who only need to submit never see the data behind the form.

### Audit logs

Every edit is recorded: who changed what, from which value, and when. "Who touched this?" becomes a question you answer in seconds.

### One shared database

Your rows move into a real database that everyone reads and writes live. There is no final_v3 copy to reconcile, because there is only one record.

[See how audit logs work](/en/audit-logs/)05 / Without losing the sheet

## Turn your spreadsheet into an app without losing the spreadsheet

### Your data stays yours

It is imported, not locked in. Export back to Excel or CSV whenever you want, and keep the original sheet open next to the app while the team switches over.

### Your process is not redesigned

We build around how your team already works. The columns you use stay. The ones nobody has filled in since March quietly stop being a chore.

### You can start on the free plan

Free is $0 and covers your first three projects. Solo is $25/month, Builder $49.99/month, and Team starts at $99.99/month for ten members. Nothing is quoted before you have seen your own rows inside the app.

06 / Next steps

## What happens after you book the call

01

### Show us the sheet

Twenty minutes, screen shared. We look at the actual file — the columns, the tabs, the part that always breaks.

02

### See it as an app

We build the first working version on your data, with roles and the audit log switched on, so you are reacting to your own rows and not a demo.

03

### Move the team over

A real person stays with you through rollout and the first round of changes, so the app never becomes one person's fragile dependency.

## Stop guarding the file. Turn it into an app.

Bring your spreadsheet to a 20-minute call and leave with a working app built on your own rows — roles, audit trail and all.

## 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.
