Lido is a spreadsheet that connects to your business systems and adds AI — pulling live data from databases, CRMs and apps into a familiar grid, then letting you use AI functions inside cells to process it at scale.

Its distinguishing move is treating AI as a spreadsheet formula: write something like =AI("classify this support ticket") across a thousand rows and get structured outputs in seconds — categorization, extraction, summarization, sentiment — without writing code. Connectors bring in live data (SQL databases, CRMs, ad platforms), and automations can email reports or update systems on a schedule.

A free tier lets you try; paid plans scale rows, connections and automation runs.
