## 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.
