This work addresses the need for more efficient data management in spreadsheets for users handling relational data, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing spreadsheet concepts with added AI features.

The paper tackles the problem of enhancing spreadsheet applications by introducing SmartTable, an online tool with intelligent assistance for populating rows and extending columns in relational tables, resulting in an open-source implementation available at http://smarttable.cc.

We introduce SmartTable, an online spreadsheet application that is equipped with intelligent assistance capabilities. With a focus on relational tables, describing entities along with their attributes, we offer assistance in two flavors: (i) for populating the table with additional entities (rows) and (ii) for extending it with additional entity attributes (columns). We provide details of our implementation, which is also released as open source. The application is available at http://smarttable.cc.
