- Row Lifecycle Management — Add, update, and delete rows within your sheets with full control over cell data directly from the AI interface.
- Workspace & Report Control — Access and monitor your workspaces and reports to maintain a clear overview of your projects via natural language.
- Search & Discovery Intelligence — Search through specific sheets to quickly find the information you need and retrieve filtered data results.
- Operational Monitoring — Access user profiles and monitor system health to ensure reliable data synchronization between Smartsheet and your AI workflows.
