Bwocks is a desktop spreadsheet where cells can call OpenAI, Anthropic, or local models. Add reusable context "bwocks" (persona, instructions, files), reference them in prompts, and swap whole sets of context in seconds.

I'm a veteran digital maker. After years of hating spreadsheets (particularly how they integrate with LLMs) I decided to make a spreadsheet I love and use every day. I think you'll like it too. ❤️
Turn columns into AI functions. Reference cells and context packs. Get structured outputs back into the grid. Tweak and reformat outputs with AI Cleanup.
Prompts, notes, PDFs, instructions—end up copied, pasted, tweaked, and spread across chats. It's long, scattered, and fragile. Context Bwocks standardize 10 of the most common context types and can be grouped into Bwock Towers to import, export, and swap out quickly.
Right click any cell range to rewrite, normalize, validate, or restructure results. Enforce schema, flatten and split JSON into columns, and make outputs consistent without leaving the grid.
AI Columns: prompt in, results out.
Create columns that call models using other cells as inputs—classification, extraction, rewriting, summarizing, transformations.
Context Packs you can swap in bulk.
Save personas, instructions, and rules as named blocks. Switch a whole 'Bwock Tower' from 'strict JSON' to 'friendly copywriter' instantly.
Load real work (and play).
Add PDFs, docs, images, CSVs, notes—name them—and reference them from any AI Column so outputs stay grounded and have context.
Bring your own API keys
Use OpenAI / Anthropic without a middleman. You control spend and access.
Run locally when you want
If you have local LLMs installed, Bwocks can run offline-friendly workflows.
Local-first by default
Your sheets live on your machine. We don't sell or look at your data.
Swap context sets
Move between projects by switching entire context packs in a few clicks.
A picture is worth... well a fraction of a Tower.
Bwocks is already useful today. These are the next pieces we're snapping into place.
Chat with your grid
Ask questions, generate formulas, transform ranges, and explain what's happening in a sheet.
Chart Studio
Make charts fast, then tweak them like a designer. Great defaults, precise control.
Rich text column
Add notes, specs, and documentation right in the sheet—without turning it into a comment graveyard.
More AI functions
Extract, classify, normalize, validate, translate—plus better structured outputs for real workflows.
Pivoting + grouping
Summarize, slice, and roll-up data like you expect. Grouping, aggregation, and sane defaults.
Webhook / API columns
Call any API, map JSON into cells, and wire Bwocks into your stack without leaving the grid.
Pre-built Bwock Towers
Ready-to-use context collections for common tasks—SEO analysis, content writing, data cleanup, research. Stack them, tweak them, make them yours.
Workflows
Chain steps across sheets: AI → cleanup → enrich → export → notify. Build repeatable systems, not one-off magic.
Roadmap is direction, not a contract. But we ship.
Keep using what you bought, even if you stop renewing.
Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Use it locally, offline (with local LLMs), and forever once downloaded.
