Excel and Sheets Add-ins Published!
Officially published and accessible on the add-in marketplaces for both Excel (https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/product/office/WA200009621?tab=Overview) and Google Sheets (https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/pipedreamer_ai_for_spreadsheets/549790097974)
Friends and family that use Excel/Sheets have been super positive - in some cases it has saved them tens of hours so far. We are genuinely much more useful than either Copilot or Gemini, and we do it without requiring a subscription
My cofounder and I are looking for feedback and first non-friend users - you'll get $5 in credits on sign up, and we will happily give more in exchange for feedback!
Congrats on the launch, this is a solid use case and exactly the kind of tool Reddit users respond well to when it’s shared the right way.
From an organic Reddit growth perspective, the biggest opportunity here is positioning Pipedreamer as a time-saver for real spreadsheet pain points, not as an “AI alternative to Copilot/Gemini.” Redditors care more about how it helps them than comparisons.
What I’d recommend:
Sharing short, specific examples in relevant subreddits like r/excel, r/googlesheets, r/startups, r/sideproject, and r/productivity (following each sub’s rules).
Posting value-driven case studies such as “How this add-in automated X task and saved me Y hours” rather than direct promotion.
Collecting feedback through discussion-style posts (“What’s the most time-consuming thing you do in Excel?”) and naturally introducing the tool in the comments.
Leveraging early users to comment authentically on threads where people are already asking for spreadsheet automation help.
This kind of organic Reddit strategy builds trust fast, drives targeted users, and avoids the spam perception that gets most tools ignored or removed.
If you want, I help founders plan and execute this kind of rule-safe, organic Reddit growth so you can get real users and feedback consistently without paid ads. Happy to share how it would work for a product like yours.
