## Overview
|
||
|
||
Smart Spreadsheet is an AI-powered tool that enriches company data on demand. Input a company name or website URL and get verified information including industry, headcount, and funding details; each with source attribution. Results appear in the frontend in real-time as each task completes.
|
||
|
||
- A [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) app with [Trigger.dev](https://trigger.dev/) for background tasks
|
||
- [Exa](https://exa.ai/) – an AI-native search engine that returns clean, structured content ready for LLM extraction
|
||
- [Claude](https://anthropic.com/) via the [Vercel AI SDK](https://sdk.vercel.ai/) for data extraction
|
||
- [Supabase](https://supabase.com/) PostgreSQL database for persistence
|
||
- Trigger.dev [Realtime](/realtime/overview) for live updates to the frontend

|
||
## How it works
|
||
|
||
The enrichment workflow:
|
||
|
||
1. **Trigger enrichment** – User enters a company name or URL in the spreadsheet UI
|
||
2. **Parallel data gathering** – Four subtasks run concurrently to fetch basic info, industry, employee count, and funding details
|
||
3. **AI extraction** – Each subtask uses Exa search + Claude to extract structured data with source URLs
|
||
4. **Real-time updates** – Results appear in the frontend as each subtask completes
|
||
5. **Persist results** – Enriched data is saved to Supabase with source attribution
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Parallel processing** – All four enrichment categories run simultaneously using [batch.triggerByTaskAndWait](/triggering#batch-trigger-by-task-and-wait)
|
||
- **Source attribution** – Every data point includes the URL it was extracted from
|
||
- **Live updates** – Results appear in the UI as each task completes using [Realtime](/realtime/overview)
|
||
- **Structured extraction** – Zod schemas ensure consistent data output from Claude
|
||
|
||
## Key code patterns
|
||
|
||
### Parallel task execution
|
||
|
||
The main task triggers all four enrichment subtasks simultaneously using `batch.triggerByTaskAndWait`:
|
||
|
||
```ts src/trigger/enrich-company.ts
|
||
const { runs } = await batch.triggerByTaskAndWait([
|
||
{ task: getBasicInfo, payload: { companyName, companyUrl } },
|
||
{ task: getIndustry, payload: { companyName, companyUrl } },
|
||
{ task: getEmployeeCount, payload: { companyName, companyUrl } },
|
||
{ task: getFundingRound, payload: { companyName, companyUrl } },
|
||
]);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Live updates from child tasks
|
||
|
||
Each subtask uses `metadata.parent.set()` to update the parent's metadata as soon as data is extracted:
|
||
|
||
```ts src/trigger/get-basic-info.ts
|
||
// After Claude extracts the data, update the parent task's metadata
|
||
metadata.parent.set("website", object.website);
|
||
metadata.parent.set("description", object.description);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The frontend subscribes to these metadata updates using [Realtime](/realtime/overview), so users see each field populate as it's discovered.
