New AI Workflows turn spreadsheets into a control center for the agentic web
San Francisco, CA — Sourcetable today announced AI Workflows (https://sourcetable.com/workflows), a new feature that allows users to turn any AI chat session into a reusable automation that can coordinate data, applications, databases, and AI agents across an organization.
Workflows transform successful AI conversations into editable instruction sets that tell Sourcetable’s AI and agents how to complete tasks automatically. With one click, users can convert a chat into a reusable process for research, data cleaning, dashboard generation, reporting, and operational workflows.
Unlike traditional automation tools such as Zapier or Make.com, which rely on rigid triggers and predefined actions, Sourcetable Workflows allow AI agents to dynamically reason across multiple applications, databases, APIs, and datasets simultaneously. This enables workflows to handle complex, real-world tasks that are similar but not identical—such as messy data cleaning, multi-source research, or evolving analysis.
Workflows operate on top of Sourcetable’s AI Superagents (https://sourcetable.com/superagents), which coordinate specialized agents capable of planning and executing multi-step tasks across tools and data sources. The result is a new model for automation that brings the emerging Agentic Web directly into the spreadsheet environment where many teams already work.
Sourcetable positions Workflows as a secure alternative to open agent ecosystems like OpenClaw, which have highlighted both the promise and the risks of autonomous software agents. To support enterprise use, Sourcetable includes a secure credentialing system (patent-pending)with escrowed key management and fine-grained permission controls that limit what AI agents can access and which actions they can perform.
This security layer enables organizations to safely deploy agent-driven workflows across internal systems, databases, and third-party applications.
Conceptually, Sourcetable Workflows combine ideas from Excel Macros, OpenClaw Skills, Claude Skills, and OpenAI-style agents, but are designed to be fully code-free and accessible to non-developers. Workflows are stored as editable text documents that teams can modify, reuse, and share across the organization.
“AI chats are powerful, but they’re ephemeral,” said Eoin McMillan, Sourcetable’s CEO. “Workflows turn great AI conversations into permanent capabilities your organization can run again and again.”
AI Workflows are available today to Sourcetable users, and the company plans to extend workflows to 3rd party Agents via a future MCP release.
