Welcome to Kyran AI App Builder for Sheets™, the last Google Sheets™ add-on you’ll ever need.
With Kyran, you can describe the tool you want in plain English, and it will generate a working add-on directly inside Google Sheets™.
📥 Installation
- Install Kyran AI App Builder for Sheets™ from the Google Workspace Marketplace.
- After installation, open any Google Sheet.
- A new menu called Kyran AI App Builder for Sheets™ will appear in the extensions menu.
🚀 Getting Started
Opening the App Builder
- Click Extensions → Kyran AI App Builder for Sheets™ → Open App Builder.
- The Kyran sidebar will open with three tabs:
- Create
- Run
- Set Up
🛠️ The Tabs
1. Create
This is where you talk to the AI.
- Step 1: Describe what you want in plain English.
- Example: “Add a button that copies selected rows to another sheet.”
- Step 2: Kyran will generate the Google Apps Script code for you and save it into your spreadsheet.
- Step 3: If your request is clear, Kyran confirms success. If not, it will ask you to clarify.
⚠️ Note: Newly created add-ons become active after reloading your Google Sheet.
2. Run
This is where you use the app you’ve built.
- If your generated app includes a sidebar, Kyran loads it here.
- You can interact with buttons, forms, or menus, just like a normal add-on.
- If your app doesn’t have a sidebar UI, this tab stays empty.
3. Set Up
This tab handles configuration.
- Gemini API Key: Kyran uses Gemini for AI generation. Enter your API key here.
- Future options (like payment, logging, or collaboration) will also live here.
🔄 Workflow Example
- Go to Create and type: “Create a menu item that converts all text in the selected range to title case.”
- Kyran generates and saves the script.
- Reload your Sheet.
- You’ll now see the new menu entry, ready to use.
- If your request had a sidebar, you’ll also find it in the Run tab.
📚 Tips for Better Results
- Be specific: Instead of “Make a form”, say “Make a sidebar form with two text fields and a submit button that writes to the active sheet, …”
- Start small: Build simple apps first, then get more ambitious.
- Reload after creation: Your new app won’t be active until you reload the Sheet.
🔒 Privacy & Data
- All generated code is stored inside your Google Sheet only.
- Kyran does not access your sheet data, except through the code you ask it to generate.
- The AI model (Gemini) receives only your description, not your actual sheet contents.

❓FAQ
Q: Do I need to know coding?
A: No. You only describe what you want in plain English (or your native language!).
Q: What if the AI doesn’t understand my request?
A: It will ask you to clarify. Rephrase in simpler steps. If still stuck, feel free to reach out.
Q: Do I need to pay?
A: This is currently a free preview. You only need to bring your own Gemini key (the add-on will show you how). We’ll provide payment plans once we receive enough feedback.
Q: Can I share the add-on I built with teammates?
A: Yes. Since the code is saved in the spreadsheet, anyone with access to the sheet can use it.
Trying to share your generated add-on inside your institution, so anyone can use it? Please reach out, we are working on this!
Q: Can I edit the generated code myself?
A: Not yet, but we are planning an export feature. Please reach out.
Q: Why is my add-on having permission issues?
A: We currently limit the permissions the add-on requests so as to not scare users during installation. Unfortunately, this means that, for the time being, your generated add-on is also limited to those permission (add menus, sidebars and dialog, call external services, manipulate the current spreadsheet, see current user email).
🎯 Next Steps
- Open your first Sheet.
- Launch Kyran AI App Builder for Sheets™ → Open App Builder.

You’ve now built your first custom app inside Google Sheets™, with no coding. Congrats!
