👋 Welcome to AI Central,
You ask AI to work out your numbers and it gives you an answer in seconds. But can you trust it?
The answer might look right, even if AI never actually calculated it. And with spreadsheets, the problem goes beyond maths. It might use the wrong sheet, miss rows or pick up numbers that were already outdated.
In today's guide, we'll look at how to make AI calculate using code, check the data behind its answers and make sure every number you share with someone else has the working to back it up.
Big hug and love you ❤️

Finally, a Monday that doesn’t feel like one.
Imagine a Saturday where you're not catching up on the CRM you didn't touch all week.
HubSpot's new self-updating CRM doesn't wait for you to log back in. Friday's calls are already logged. The deal that needs a nudge Monday morning is already flagged. The automation you set up once keeps running without you thinking about it. None of it needed you over the weekend.
Customers are already seeing it pay off: 45% more deals closed. Finally, you start Monday caught up, not behind.

📓 Why AI gets numbers wrong
Inside this guide you will learn:
Section | What you can do by the end |
|---|---|
19.1 There are two ways it can give you a number | Tell a number it worked out from one it simply guessed |
19.2 Look for the working, not for a warning | Spot in seconds whether anything actually ran, and force it when it didn't |
19.3 The workbook it answered about isn't always the one you attached | Name the 4 things that happen to a spreadsheet on the way in, and head them off |
19.4 Any number someone else will see arrives with its working | Run one rule over every figure that leaves your desk, in under a minute |
You'll need: one real spreadsheet from your own work, and one number you've already sent to somebody.
