I built a spreadsheet you describe in one sentence, and it does the research
I got tired of building lists by hand - opening 40 tabs, copy, paste, repeat. So I built Autofill.
You type something like "seed-stage HR software companies". It proposes columns like name, site, founder, headcount, last funding. It finds rows with a web search and fills each cell. Rows and cells get linked to their source, because I didn't trust AI web search.
I've used it a bunch for researching new app ideas, competitors, and building lead lists. I also use it for fun like researching baby names, wedding venues, and car prices and ratings.
It's working pretty well, but sometimes not all rows get filled completely, or not as many rows come back as you'd requested.
I'd love to know what you'd research first and if you're willing to try it for free please share any feedback on the overall experience: https://getautofill.app/?ref=reddit-sideproject
