Smartsheet is becoming more powerful with AI...
With MCP-enabled AI assistants and agents, users can interact directly with live Smartsheet data—querying information, adding rows, updating data and automating work.
- That's incredibly powerful.
- But consider what happens when AI gets it wrong.
- A misunderstood instruction.
- A flawed assumption.
- The wrong sheet.
- The wrong rows.
- The wrong interpretation.
And suddenly hundreds—or thousands—of cells have changed.

Request Trial NowThe Scary Truth about AI and AI Agents
Your AI Doesn't Have to Be Rogue.
It Just Has to Be Wrong.
An AI agent doesn't need malicious intent to create a serious data-loss event.
It could simply misunderstand an instruction.
- “Clean up the old project rows.”
- “Update all the project statuses.”
- “Remove the inactive items.”
- “Standardize these sheets.”
The instruction sounds simple. But what if the agent interprets it differently than you intended?
Now imagine it has access to:
- 1 sheet
- 10 sheets
- 100 sheets
And the ability to make changes automatically.
The problem isn't just that AI can make mistakes. It's how quickly those mistakes can scale!
The AI Era Needs a Way Back
AI is changing how we work. It's making software more intelligent. More connected. More automated. And increasingly capable of taking action on our behalf. That's exciting.
But there's another side to the equation. When software can make changes at machine speed, mistakes can happen at machine speed too:
- A misunderstood instruction. A flawed assumption.
- An incorrect decision. An unexpected workflow.
- A change that goes much further than anyone intended.
The answer isn't to stop using AI. The answer is to use it responsibly.
- With guardrails. With governance. And with a reliable way back.
That's why SmartBackup exists. To protect the Smartsheet data your business depends on. Because we're not afraid of the AI-powered future. We just want you to be ready for it.
AI can change everything. Make sure you can change it back. SmartBackup for Smartsheet.
