The Scenario
You are a RevOps analyst. Q1 just ended and you need to reconcile the Recall.ai bill. Your finance team wants total bot-minutes consumed per week for the quarter — start date, end date, and total recording seconds per row — in an Excel workbook.
The Recall.ai billing usage endpoint has the data. Your workbook is waiting. Between the two is about 12 weeks of data entry you do not want to do.
The bad version of the next two hours:
- You write a curl command, run it for week 1, copy the JSON response, extract the seconds field
- Switch to the workbook, type the start date, end date, and total seconds for week 1
- Repeat for weeks 2 through 12
- Forget that March had an extra day and your week boundaries are off by one
- Finance gets a workbook with 11 rows instead of 13 because you miscounted the weeks.
The fast version is one prompt.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent inside your Excel workbook that reads your date parameters and calls the Recall.ai usage API for each week.
Open the SheetXAI sidebar and type:
Retrieve Recall.ai billing usage for each week of Q1 — one row per week with start date, end date, and total bot-seconds. Write each row into the workbook starting at row 1.
SheetXAI calculates the week boundaries for Q1, calls the Recall.ai usage endpoint for each week, and writes one row per week. Thirteen weeks, thirteen rows, no manual date math.
What You Get
A quarterly usage table ready for cost analysis:
- Column A — week start date
- Column B — week end date
- Column C — total bot-seconds for that week
The week boundaries are calculated correctly, including weeks that straddle month boundaries.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
Billing reconciliation usually involves follow-on questions. SheetXAI handles them in the same session.
When the week boundaries need to align with your fiscal calendar
Retrieve Recall.ai billing usage for each fiscal week of Q1, where weeks start on Monday. Write start date, end date, and total bot-seconds for each week into the workbook, one row per week.
When you need the comparison to Q4 of the prior year
Retrieve Recall.ai billing usage for each week of Q4 last year and each week of Q1 this year. Write them into two separate sections: Q4 weeks starting in row 1, Q1 weeks starting two rows below the last Q4 row. Include start date, end date, and total bot-seconds in each section.
When you need usage grouped by month instead of week
Retrieve Recall.ai billing usage for January, February, and March, grouped by calendar month. Write one row per month with total bot-seconds into the workbook.
When you need the full cost reconciliation package
Retrieve Recall.ai billing usage for Q1 and Q4 of last year, broken down by week. Write start date, end date, Q1 bot-seconds, Q4 bot-seconds, estimated cost for each week at $0.003 per second, and the week-over-week variance percentage into columns A through F. Flag any week where usage increased by more than 20% with "SPIKE" in column G.
The pattern: give SheetXAI the date range and the billing rate, and it builds the reconciliation table end to end.
Try It
Get the 7-day free trial of SheetXAI and open a blank workbook, then ask it to pull your Recall.ai usage data by week. The Recall.ai integration is included in every SheetXAI plan.
