The Scenario
The quarterly roadmap cycle starts Monday. Your head of product dropped a message on Friday afternoon asking for a Google Sheet with all 200-plus open Productlane feedback threads by end of day — customer name, company, pain level, and the linked Linear issue title for each one.
You have access to Productlane. You do not have a ready export.
The bad version:
- Open Productlane, filter to open insights, and start scrolling through the list one page at a time, copying each row into the sheet by hand.
- When you hit an insight with no linked Linear issue, decide whether to leave the cell blank or go look up the issue separately in Linear.
- After two hours, realize the sheet has 80 rows and you are a quarter of the way through.
Your head of product has a roadmap prioritization session first thing Monday. This data needs to be ready, sorted, and usable before that — not still being assembled at 9 PM Sunday.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It reads the sheet and talks to Productlane on your behalf, pulling insight data directly into your columns without you ever opening the Productlane UI.
List all open insights from Productlane and write the title, contact name, company name, pain level, and associated Linear issue title into columns A through E of this sheet
What You Get
- Column A: insight title as it appears in Productlane
- Column B: contact name linked to the insight (blank if no contact is assigned)
- Column C: company name for that contact
- Column D: pain level score as a number
- Column E: title of the linked Linear issue, or "none" if unlinked
The rows arrive sorted by Productlane's default ordering. From there you can sort by column D to surface the highest-pain threads first.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The insights include closed and archived threads mixed in
List all Productlane insights where state is open and write title, contact name, company name, and pain level into columns A through D — skip any insight where state is not open
Some rows are missing a company name
List all open Productlane insights and write title, contact name, company name, and pain level into columns A through D — for any insight where company name is blank, write "no company" in column C instead of leaving it empty
You need insights from only the last 90 days
Export all Productlane insights created in the last 90 days with title, contact name, company, pain level, and linked Linear issue title into columns A through E — sort by pain level descending
You want the full cleanup and export in a single step
Pull all open Productlane insights created since January 1, sort by pain level descending, write title into column A, contact name into column B, company into column C, pain level into column D, and linked Linear issue title into column E — for any row missing a contact name write "unknown" and for any row missing a Linear issue write "unlinked"
The goal is always to ask for the filter, the sort, and the writeback in a single prompt so the sheet is ready to use the moment the task finishes.
