Can I trace where a number came from?

Yes. You can follow the thread from any number back to its source. The cheat sheet explains discrepancies and cites the originating file, such as explaining that a slide shows 500 units because a new order of 20 came in after the morning report showed 480.

How can I get started?

You can start free with no account required, or try a real kit. You can begin with a task or an existing file, or ask your AI agent to install the DeepCell plugin and CLI and help you create your first .deepcell file.

Does DeepCell work with AI agents?

Yes. DeepCell offers CLI and MCP integration, and provides a for-agent setup page so AI agents can install the plugin and CLI and help create .deepcell kits.

How much does DeepCell cost?

DeepCell is free for individuals at $0, with no account needed to start (a free account keeps your files beyond 30 days). A Teams plan for teams of 3–50 is coming soon, and Enterprise pricing is custom—contact sales for SSO, advanced access controls, and private cloud or on-premises deployment.

DeepCell — Your deadline survival kit

DeepCell is a deadline-focused productivity tool that turns work and ideas into ready-to-use deliverables—documents, spreadsheets, and slides—packaged into a single '.deepcell' file. Each kit contains a spreadsheet for numbers and calculations, a report for findings and conclusions, slides for presenting, and a cheat sheet explaining how conclusions were reached, all with links back to sources. Editing one part propagates updates through all linked content, and any number can be traced back to its origin.

Key Features

Linked kits of docs, spreadsheets, and slides

Each .deepcell file weaves together a spreadsheet (numbers and calculations), a report (findings and conclusions), slides for presenting or sharing, and a cheat sheet documenting how conclusions were reached.

One-edit propagation

Making a change in one place—such as updating an expected growth rate from 15% to 20%—updates the spreadsheet, report narrative, slides, and cheat sheet automatically so linked content stays consistent.

Source tracing

Any number can be followed back to its source via the cheat sheet, which explains discrepancies and cites the originating file (e.g., explaining why a slide shows 500 orders when the morning report showed 480).

Start from a task or existing files

Users can begin with a task description or an existing file (e.g., a .xlsx spreadsheet) and build a kit from it, weaving in the latest data.

AI agent integration via CLI and MCP

DeepCell provides a CLI and MCP integration, with an agent plugin, so AI agents can install the tooling and help create .deepcell kits.

Portable plain-text files with audit and recalculation

Kits are saved as plain-text .deepcell files that users can keep and version themselves, with built-in audit and recalculation capabilities.

How It Works

Start with a task or a file

Begin by submitting a task (e.g., 'Use Q3 sales data to build the Q4 forecast') or an existing file such as a spreadsheet, or prompt your AI agent to install the DeepCell plugin and CLI and create your first .deepcell kit.

Build a woven kit

DeepCell produces a spreadsheet, report, slides, and cheat sheet that are linked together in one .deepcell file, with numbers tied to their sources.

Edit once, update everywhere

When you change a number or assumption, the edit flows through the report, slides, and cheat sheet, and you can trace any figure back to its underlying source.
