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:
- Open the Bonsai dashboard, find the cluster list, and start copying slugs into column A of your Google Sheet — one by one.
- Switch back to the dashboard for each cluster to get the plan tier, region, and status, then paste each into columns B, C, and D.
- Realize halfway through that you've lost track of which row maps to which cluster, backtrack, and fix three entries before finishing.
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 Google Sheet. It connects to Bonsai directly, reads the cluster list, and writes the data into your sheet — 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 sheet — 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 sheet 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 sheet, one row per cluster
You need to join cluster data against a list of slugs already in the sheet
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 sheet 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 sheet.
