So if I buy 3 seats. Without buying extra credits what can I do? Do you have to purchase 5,000 credits and what is a credit? Each time a task is performed? Like take out duplicates?1 credit gone?

A: Hey sarah842 👋!
Great questions! Let me break down how seats and credits work:
SEATS VS CREDITS - THEY'RE SEPARATE THINGS:
Seats = Number of people who can use SheetXAI Credits = Fuel to run AI operations
If you buy 3 seats (Tier 2), you get 3 email addresses that can access SheetXAI. But seats don't come with credits included.
Q: Does BYOK work like an appscript API connection or something else?
Hi, I was checking out your tool and noticed the plans are BYOK. I currently have a bunch of Google sheets using appscripts which run the LLM API assistants to make sheet edits and add agent responses to cells.
Can you please explain the difference and benefits between just asking GPT to write an appscript that connects a Google sheet to the LLM API and using SheetXAI?
Edit follow up: I was...

Great questions! Let me break this down:
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN APPSCRIPT AND SHEETXAI:
You technically CAN ask GPT to write an appscript that connects your sheet to the LLM API, but here's where the benefit of SheetXAI becomes really apparent:
Once you have to debug, go back and forth between your sheet and ChatGPT, make minor edits when there are issues, describe your sheet...
Thanks for the detailed reply! Yes, I can see the value of done for you scripts. Ill look into your tool more! For context though, ChatGPT wrote its own working Google sheet appscript in like 2-3 prompts (1 debug). I just told it which columns or cells I wanted to connect in the sheet.
What's meaning of BYOk in this context? Do I need to bring Key from some foundational model like openAI or what?
Once analysis is done, can I send final sheet to client. Can they open it in Excel or Google sheets?

A: Hey VK_2018 👋!
Great questions! Let me clarify:
WHAT IS BYOK?
BYOK stands for "Bring Your Own Key" - meaning you bring your own API key from AI providers like OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.
So yes, you'd get an API key from providers like: - OpenRouter (my top recommendation - gives you access to ALL models) - OpenAI - Claude - Gemini - Groq - Fal AI - And others
I'm learning pivot tables and I'm wondering if sheetxai can assist with creating reports. I find displaying and analyzing the data the way I want it can be challenging.

A: Hey bollard 👋!
Absolutely! SheetXAI can definitely help with pivot tables and creating reports. This is actually one of the core features of the chatbot assistant.
Instead of manually configuring pivot tables (which can be confusing with all the rows, columns, values, and filters), you can just tell SheetXAI in plain English what you want to analyze and how you want to see it.
DOes it work with old version Excel and offline? Not office subscription. And this $39 bad idea for ppl who wants to convert?

A: Hey Sumolixie 👋!
Good questions! Let me clarify how Excel works with SheetXAI:
EXCEL VERSION AND OFFLINE:
SheetXAI requires internet connectivity to work since it needs to communicate with AI providers in real-time. However, you CAN use it in Excel desktop (not just Excel online).
To check if your Excel is compatible: Go to sheetxai.com and try installing the Excel add-in. If it installs...
