Make the file nobody opens into the board everybody checks

“The numbers live in a spreadsheet and nobody looks at it.”

Load the file once and its columns become available everywhere: in chat, in a workflow loop, and as a widget binding.

6 steps
  1. Load the file once

    Keep it as a fixed snapshot or as a live read of the file on disk. Preview every row in a filterable grid first.

    Data Sources

    The Data Sources panel with its built-in help: bring in a spreadsheet or a CSV, then loop over it in a workflow or chart it on a board.
  2. Ask about it in plain language

    @-mention the source, or exact rows, and ask. A built-in tool reads it from any prompt without an export step.

    Try this

    Using the data source I just loaded, which rows moved the most since last month, and what is the total by <column>? Show your working.

    AI Chat & Modes

    Type @ and it offers your agents, the files in the project, past sessions, even single facts out of your notes. Then Enhance turns a rough prompt into a clear one.
  3. Bind a widget to a column

    Pick the source and the field. No JSON, no query language.

    Try this

    Build a board from that source: a stat tile for the total, a bar chart grouped by <column>, and a table of the top 20 rows underneath.

    Dashboards

    An empty board to a live one: add a header card, stat tiles, and a table, bind them to a data source, then save and open the view.
  4. Walk the rows on a schedule

    Give a workflow the source as an input and the loop step iterates it, one row at a time, with the result snapshotted.

    Try this

    Every night at 23:00, walk every row of that source, flag anything that changed by more than 10 percent, and only notify me if there is something to say.

    Dynamic Workflows

    An empty canvas to a working workflow: pick a trigger, add an AI step, send a notification, then save it and run it.
  5. Compute the answers you would otherwise guess

    Routes, loads, rosters and budget splits are searches. Plexon computes them and reports the seed that reproduces the result.

    Try this

    From that source, work out the cheapest way to <the thing you are deciding>. Compute it rather than estimating it, and give me the seed that reproduces the answer.

    Decision Tools

    The decision tools home, listing computed simulations
  6. Get answers you can read

    Structured results render as tables, stat rows and checklists in the chat rather than as a wall of markdown.

    Dynamic UI Widgets

What you end up with

One board with a parameter you can change, and a nightly check that tells you when something moved.
