Product Introduction
Goodlookup is an intelligent feature designed specifically for spreadsheet users. It is a pre-trained model that combines the intuition of GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) with the linking capabilities of Fuzzy Matching. Similar to other popular spreadsheet functions like VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH, Goodlookup is specifically designed to accelerate topic clustering work in Google Sheets. It is subscription-based, with an annual fee of $15.
The main limitation of traditional fuzzy matching is that it does not consider similarity beyond the strings, which is particularly problematic in topic clustering that requires semantic understanding. Goodlookup is a new tool in the data manipulation toolbox that can match similar texts like a human. It can match semantic relationships, synonyms, and even cultural similarities between text strings, making it a useful tool for text-to-text record linking problems, especially for modern spreadsheet users who have their data stored in multiple places without a unified naming convention, making it difficult to obtain clear and consistent data views.
Goodlookup does not intend to replace fuzzy matching but rather complements it by adding a new layer of semantic understanding to text data matching.
