Solution
Rails agent with Google Sheets
Sheets often hold ops truth. Agents can read and update rows through connectors while Rails remains the system of record for core models.

Direct answer
Use connectors so a Rails Agent workflow can read or write Google Sheets as part of research, reporting, or lightweight ops—with traces and optional approvals on writes.
Good fits
- Lead lists and enrichment
- Weekly ops reports
- Finance reconciliation worksheets
- Content calendars with human review
Limitation
Sheets are not a transactional database. Prefer Rails models for authoritative state; use Sheets as an interface or export.
Frequently asked questions
Should Sheets replace ActiveRecord?
No. Keep authoritative data in Rails; use Sheets as a collaboration or import/export surface.
