The Scenario
You're a UX designer who just finished scoping a project. Your Google Sheet has six phase headers and twenty individual tasks underneath them, each with estimated hours and an hourly rate. The client is expecting a proposal in their inbox by end of day. You could spend the next 90 minutes building the Nusii proposal from scratch — creating sections, adding line items, entering hours and rates one by one — or you could just ask SheetXAI to do it.
The bad version:
- Open Nusii, create a new proposal, set the client, set the title.
- Click Add Section, type "Phase 1: Discovery". Click Add Line Item, type the task name from the sheet, enter the hours, enter the rate. Click Save. Click Add Line Item again for the next task.
- Work through all six phases, all twenty tasks. One UI interaction per line item plus section headers.
- Realize halfway through that you spelled "UX Research" differently in phases 2 and 4 and now the proposal is inconsistent.
The proposal software should be the output, not the bottleneck.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the structure of your scope sheet — identifying phase headers and task rows — and creates a fully structured Nusii proposal with sections and line items in one operation.
Here is the prompt for this specific task:
Read my scope sheet where rows with "PHASE" in column A are section names and all other rows are line items — create a Nusii proposal with one section per phase and one line item per task row, using hours from column C and rate from column D
What You Get
- One Nusii proposal created for the client specified in the prompt.
- One section per phase header in the sheet, named exactly as the phase header reads.
- One line item per task row, with task name from column B, quantity from column C, and unit price from column D.
- The proposal ID written back into the sheet as confirmation that the operation completed.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The phase headers and task rows are not clearly differentiated in the sheet
In my scope sheet, column A contains either a phase label (formatted in ALL CAPS) or a task name — treat all-caps rows as section names and all other rows as line items — create a Nusii proposal with one section per all-caps row and one line item per task row using hours from column C and rate from column D
You want a fixed markup applied to all rates before creating line items
Read my scope sheet — rows with "PHASE" in column A are section names, all other rows are line items — multiply each rate in column D by 1.2 before setting the line item price — create a Nusii proposal with one section per phase and one line item per task, using the marked-up rate
The sheet has a blank row between phases and the task rows need to be associated with the correct section
In my scope sheet, phase headers appear in column A followed by task rows until the next blank row — create a Nusii proposal where each group of task rows belongs to the section defined by the header above them — use task name from column B, hours from column C, and rate from column D for line items
Full scope-to-proposal conversion: clean, structure, create, and confirm
In my scope sheet, normalize all phase header names in column A by trimming whitespace and title-casing — then treat rows with "PHASE" in column A as section names and all others as line items — for each line item, flag any row where hours in column C is zero and write "Check hours" in column E — then create a Nusii proposal with the correct sections and line items using the cleaned data — write the returned proposal ID into cell A1 of this sheet
One prompt that catches the data issues and generates the proposal simultaneously.
