Frequently asked questions
What teams ask before they choose
What is the difference between Sheetgo and Pancake?
Pancake focuses on outbound go-to-market. It gives you, or your own AI agent, data and tools to find prospects, send outreach, and follow up. Sheetgo Virtual Employees handle whole operational roles. The Sheetgo team sets them up and trains them to work on your own Google Sheets files and report back in Slack, Gemini Enterprise, or Google Chat.
Does Sheetgo build the process, or only the agent?
Sheetgo builds both. A discovery call maps how your team works today, the problems you face, and what you need. Sheetgo then builds the process in your own spreadsheets, including workflows, data, and reports. It also sets up and trains the virtual employee that runs it.
Does Sheetgo have a lead generation virtual employee?
Yes. Winnie Leeds, the Lead Generation Specialist, builds prospect lists from your ICP, dedupes them against your customers and deals, verifies contacts, and routes each lead to the right rep. She asks for approval before a first contact.
Where does our data live?
Your data stays in your own Google Sheets files and Google Drive. Sheetgo does not keep a separate copy, and neither Sheetgo nor its AI providers train general AI models on your data. You can choose the United States or Europe for AI processing. Sheetgo also operates an accredited European Data Space suitable for EU data sovereignty requirements.
How long does it take to start?
Onboarding starts in days. Sheetgo matches roles to your jobs, then sets up and trains each virtual employee with your team. Implementation, training, and ongoing evaluation are included in the subscription.
What do you get for the price?
Sheetgo quotes per virtual employee for a whole role, with setup, training, and ongoing evaluation included. Owen Billings, for example, sends quotes and invoices, matches payments against the bank feed, books bills, tracks budget against actuals, and projects cash flow. Pancake’s self-serve subscription covers workspace credits for outbound work that you or your agent drive. White Glove adds a dedicated GTM engineer.
Is Sheetgo new to AI agents?
Sheetgo’s Virtual Employees are new. They run on the same platform that 5 million users rely on for spreadsheet workflows. Each comes trained on a decade of Sheetgo’s field experience. A person approves anything consequential, and Sheetgo logs every action.
How are Sheetgo Virtual Employees priced?
Sheetgo quotes per virtual employee for your team after showing it running on your data. The subscription includes implementation, training, and ongoing evaluation.
