How ProsperBot works inside Google Sheets

A product deep dive for creators: how bank data becomes a backend “data layer,” how templates pull from it, and how the sidebar coach guides users through your workflow.

Google Sheets add-on • US only

1) Template + backend sheets (data layer)

Customers copy your template. ProsperBot maintains backend sheets inside that copy, which act like a structured source of truth for formulas and dashboards.

  • Backend sheets store synced transactions and balances
  • Your front-facing template pulls from backend sheets via formulas
  • You can build any niche workflow on top (plan, payoff, scorecard, etc.)

2) Bank sync (Plaid)

Users connect accounts via Plaid. Transactions + balances refresh into the customer’s Google Sheet (US-only).

What data is synced
  • Transactions history (up to 12 months)
  • Current balances
  • Ongoing refresh into the Sheet
Why this matters for subscriptions
  • The sheet stays “alive” without manual imports
  • Weekly emails can reference real progress
  • Users can ask the coach questions grounded in current data

3) Sidebar AI coach

The coach appears in the Google Sheets sidebar. It answers from sheet data, guides users through your workflow, and can write to predetermined cells to move steps forward.

Grounded answers
Answers are based on the customer’s sheet data, not generic advice.
Workflow guidance
Prompts users to complete steps and reach the “done” moment.
Branded experience
Avatar + voice + philosophy so it feels like an extension of you.
