How to Connect Google Sheets to Definite with AI
Mike Ritchie
Tired of manually configuring integrations? You know the drill: copy API keys, paste sheet IDs, map columns, test connections—all before you can even start analyzing your data. It's frustrating, time-consuming, and requires technical knowledge that shouldn't be necessary just to connect a spreadsheet.
In Definite, you can skip all of that. Just ask Fi, our AI agent, to connect Google Sheets, and it handles the entire setup process for you. No forms to fill out, no configuration to understand—just a simple conversation that gets your data flowing in under 2 minutes.

The Problem with Manual Integrations
Setting up data integrations usually means filling out forms: API keys, URLs, sheet IDs, key properties, stream names. It's tedious, error-prone, and requires you to know exactly what each field means.
Definite supports 500+ connectors, and you can set up any of them manually. But there's a faster way.
How AI-Powered Integration Works
Instead of filling out configuration forms, just tell Fi what you want to connect.
Step 1: Ask Fi to Add the Integration
From anywhere in Definite, type:
"Add Google Sheets integration"
Fi launches an onboarding flow and handles the setup for you.
Step 2: Authorize with Google
A popup appears for Google OAuth. Click through, authorize your account, and the connection is live.
No API keys to copy. No sheet IDs to find. Just a standard Google login.
Step 3: Start Using Your Data
Fi confirms the integration is set up and shows you what you can do:
- Read data from Google Sheets
- Write data back to Google Sheets
- Use it in Python scripts with the Definite SDK
From here, you can paste a link to any Google Sheet and Fi will read it instantly.
What You Can Do Next
Once connected, Fi gives you options:
| Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Sync to DuckLake | Load the sheet into your data warehouse for querying |
| Run Analysis | Ask Fi to analyze the data directly |
| Build a Dashboard | Create visualizations from the spreadsheet data |
You can also use the data in Python scripts or combine it with other sources in your data lake.
From 26,000 Rows to Dashboard in Seconds
In the video, I connected a Google Sheet with NBA player stats: over 26,000 rows and 31 columns of game log data from the 2024-25 season.
That's a lot of data to work with manually. But Fi scanned it in seconds and asked what I wanted to do.
I asked for a simple dashboard showing the top 10 players in points, assists, and rebounds. Fi wrote the queries, pulled the data, and built the dashboard automatically.
No SQL. No manual chart configuration. Just a conversation.
