Does Smartsheet have AI?

Yes. Smartsheet AI can draft formulas, summarize sheet data and generate text in cells, helping teams who are not formula experts.

What is Smartsheet best at?

Project and portfolio management at scale, with grid, Gantt and dashboard views plus reporting that rolls many sheets into one summary.

Is Smartsheet just a spreadsheet?

No. It keeps a grid interface but adds project views, automation rules, dashboards and reporting aimed at managing work, not just storing data.

Who should avoid Smartsheet?

Individuals and very small teams on a budget, since pricing targets organizations and the feature depth exceeds simple task tracking needs.

The verdict

Smartsheet manages projects and operations in a grid that also shows Gantt, card and calendar views. It adds AI for formulas, summaries and content inside sheets.

What it is

Smartsheet keeps the familiar grid of a spreadsheet but adds project views, automation rules and dashboards on top, so teams run plans and portfolios without learning a separate tool. It scales to enterprise programs with reporting that rolls many sheets into one picture. Newer AI features draft formulas, summarize data and generate text in cells. The downsides are cost and feel: it is priced for organizations rather than individuals, and its interface looks dated next to newer work tools, with a real learning curve for advanced automation.
