Bricks AI

Bricks AI is an AI-powered spreadsheet, dashboard, reporting, and presentation workspace designed to help users turn raw business data into polished visual reports and insights. Developed by Bricks, the platform combines spreadsheet-style data management with AI-assisted analysis, dashboards, documents, visual boards, and presentations in a single browser-based workspace.

The platform is designed for users who want to analyze and present data without spending significant time building formulas, charts, dashboards, and reports manually. Users can upload CSV, Excel, PDF, or image files, and Bricks can analyze the imported information and generate dashboards containing charts, tables, KPIs, and written insights.

A central part of Bricks is its AI assistant. Users can interact with their data using natural-language prompts rather than relying entirely on traditional spreadsheet formulas or manual chart creation. For example, users can ask Bricks to summarize information, identify trends, create charts, calculate metrics, filter records, or organize data. The AI can also create formulas and conditional formatting based on plain-language instructions.

Bricks separates its AI capabilities across its spreadsheet-style Grids and visual Boards. Grid AI helps users work directly with structured data, including organizing tables, cleaning information, filtering records, removing duplicates, creating formulas, and generating reports. Board AI focuses on turning data into dashboards and visual reports, including creating and modifying charts and adding summaries or insights.

The platform also supports AI-generated dashboards and reports. After importing data, Bricks can automatically select relevant visualizations, create KPI cards, arrange dashboard components, and generate written analysis. Users can then manually adjust the resulting dashboard through drag-and-drop controls or continue modifying it with natural-language AI prompts.

Another major feature is AI-powered presentation creation. Bricks can generate presentation-ready slides from imported or existing data, allowing users to move from analysis to presentation without switching to another application. Dashboards and reports can also be exported to formats such as PDF and PowerPoint, while shareable links allow information to be distributed online.

Bricks also provides Web Research functionality through its AI execution modes. This allows users to ask the AI to gather external information from the web and incorporate the resulting information into reports and analysis. The documentation specifically mentions uses such as researching recent data, news, stock prices, trends, and other facts.

The platform includes several AI execution modes. Fast Mode is intended for straightforward requests, while Advanced Mode provides additional context and prompt enhancement for more complex tasks. Advanced Mode can use information from the user’s data, blocks, and layouts to improve the resulting output.

Beyond analytics, Bricks functions as a broader collaborative workspace. It combines spreadsheets, dashboards, slides, and documents, allowing teams to organize information, collaborate, comment, co-edit, and share work in one environment.

Bricks is particularly suited to business reporting, sales analysis, marketing reporting, project tracking, financial analysis, executive dashboards, and other workflows where users need to transform structured data into understandable visual information. Its project-tracking templates, for example, can combine task spreadsheets with AI-generated dashboards, KPIs, charts, formulas, and written summaries.

The platform also emphasizes privacy. Bricks’ documentation states that user data is private and is not used to train its AI models. Its current dashboard-reporting pages also state that data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Overall, Bricks AI brings spreadsheet editing, AI-assisted data analysis, dashboard generation, reporting, presentations, and collaboration into one workspace. Its main value is the ability to move from raw data to analysis and presentation using natural-language instructions while still allowing users to manually customize the final result.

Pricing

Bricks currently offers a Free plan, Premium plan, Pro plan, and Enterprise option. The current pricing page lists Free at $0 per user/month, Premium at $25 per user/month, or $17.50 per user/month with annual billing, and Pro at $100 per user/month, or $70 per user/month with annual billing. Enterprise pricing is customized.

The Free plan includes 20 AI messages per month, AI dashboards and reports, AI data visualization, AI data analysis, and AI chat with data. Premium increases the allowance to 200 AI messages per month and adds exports and additional workspace features. Pro includes unlimited AI messages, advanced connectors, Tableau and Power BI exports, embeddable dashboards, larger PDF imports, unlimited brand themes, and additional support.

Review

Bricks AI is built around a practical workflow: import data, analyze it with AI, create visualizations, and turn the results into reports or presentations. This makes it particularly useful for people who work with spreadsheets but do not want to spend large amounts of time manually formatting dashboards.

Its natural-language interface is one of its central strengths. Users can describe what they want to do instead of manually constructing every formula, filter, chart, or dashboard component. The combination of AI automation and manual editing also gives users control over the final result rather than forcing them to accept an automatically generated dashboard without customization.

The ability to generate dashboards and presentations from the same underlying data is another important feature. Users can create a dashboard, refine the analysis, and then export the resulting work to PDF or PowerPoint for sharing.

The Free plan provides a useful entry point, while the paid plans increase AI usage and add export, collaboration, connector, and enterprise-oriented capabilities. However, the pricing structure can become relatively expensive for larger teams because paid plans are priced per active user or seat.

Bricks is best suited to users who need a combination of spreadsheet functionality, AI data analysis, visualization, reporting, and presentation creation. Users looking primarily for a traditional spreadsheet application or a simple formula-generation tool may find that Bricks offers a broader workspace than they require.
