The Scenario
It's two days before the quarterly infrastructure review and you're putting together the slide deck. You need a current snapshot of every Bonsai cluster — slug, plan tier, region, status — so the team can see at a glance where everything stands before the migration conversation starts.
You open the Bonsai dashboard. There are fourteen clusters across three regions. Some are on the legacy plan, some on the current tier, one is in a status you don't recognize.
The bad version:
- Export a CSV from the Bonsai dashboard if one is available, or start copying slugs into column A of your Excel workbook — one by one from the cluster list.
- Cross-reference each row against the dashboard to fill in plan tier, region, and status in the remaining columns.
- Realize the CSV export is missing the plan tier field, go back to the dashboard, and manually add that column before the workbook is usable.
This is supposed to be the setup work before the real analysis, not the whole afternoon. The review is in 48 hours and you haven't touched the actual migration questions yet.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Excel workbook. It connects to Bonsai directly, reads the cluster list, and writes the data into your workbook — you don't need to touch the dashboard. Open the sidebar and type the prompt.
List all my Bonsai clusters and write the slug, plan tier, region, and status into this workbook — one row per cluster, starting at A2, with headers in row 1
What You Get
- Row 1 populated with headers: Slug, Plan Tier, Region, Status
- One row per cluster starting at row 2, with each field in the corresponding column
- Any cluster with an unrecognized status written exactly as Bonsai returns it — no silent normalization
- The workbook ready for sorting or filtering before you open the slides
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The cluster list has more columns than you need
List all my Bonsai clusters and write only the slug, plan tier, and region into columns A, B, and C — skip the status field
You want to filter to a specific region before writing
List all my Bonsai clusters in the us-east-1 region and write the slug, plan tier, and status into this workbook, one row per cluster
You need to join cluster data against a list of slugs already in the workbook
I have cluster slugs in column A starting at row 2. Fetch the plan tier, region, and status for each slug from Bonsai and write the results into columns B, C, and D
You want cleanup, filtering, and the write in one shot
Fetch all Bonsai clusters, remove any that show a status of "deprovisioning" or "deleted," sort the remaining ones by region alphabetically, and write slug, plan tier, region, and status into this workbook starting at A2
The pattern: ask for the filter condition and the write in a single prompt — SheetXAI handles the conditional logic before anything lands in the workbook.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open the Excel workbook where you track your infrastructure — then ask it to pull your full Bonsai cluster inventory before the next review. You can also look at exporting Bonsai provisioning spaces or go back to the Bonsai integration overview.
