Formula Bot (formerly Excel Formula Bot) vs PromptLoop

Formula Bot is a chat-based data analytics platform where you upload spreadsheets or connect databases, then ask questions in plain English to get formulas, charts, dashboards, and written insights back. It started as an Excel formula helper and now covers analysis, visualization, and scheduled reporting in one workspace.

The product runs analysis in an isolated sandbox and shows the Python, SQL, or R code behind each answer so you can verify results before exporting. You can also build interactive dashboards from templates, schedule Playbooks to refresh reports automatically, and embed analytics chat on your own site.

It fits analysts, finance teams, marketers, and business owners who live in Excel or Google Sheets but want faster answers without writing every formula or pivot by hand.

PromptLoop is a go-to-market data platform for sales and marketing teams that need custom research datasets on companies, contacts, and local businesses. You upload a spreadsheet or start from a search, then run no-code AI tasks that browse the web, crawl sites, and return structured columns ready for outreach or CRM import.

The product is built around Tasks and Datasets. Tasks are reusable AI agents that take a website URL or search term and return typed outputs such as descriptions, phone numbers, emails, or category labels. Datasets are workspaces where you upload CSV or Excel files, launch tasks across thousands of rows, and download versioned results with filters and exports.

PromptLoop targets teams that want fresher, more specific prospect data than static databases provide. It offers HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, spreadsheet add-ins, and REST API access. The company is based in San Francisco and backed by Y Combinator.
