n8n just released native data tables
You no longer need Google Sheets for your AI agents
Hey,
n8n just dropped a major update.
And if you’re still using Google Sheets in your AI automations, this might be your sign to switch.
They’ve added native data tables — built right into your workflow canvas.
And after testing it this week, I can confidently say this is a serious upgrade.

Here’s why it matters:
✅ Faster execution times
✅ Less hallucination from your AI agents
✅ No need to pull thousands of rows from Google Sheets
✅ All your data lives inside n8n — clean, structured, and secure
You can still do everything you’re used to:
Insert rows, get filtered data, update records, and more
But now it’s all happening natively, without needing external API calls or messy mapping workarounds
In the video I just posted, I show you exactly how it works:
→ Uploading your current Google Sheet into a native table
→ Structuring data types for better accuracy (string, number, boolean, datetime)
→ Using the Get Rows tool inside an AI agent
→ Prompting ChatGPT to answer questions like
“Give me all leads with more than 25 employees”
or
“Show me all orders above $100”
It’s faster
It’s cleaner
And it gives your agents less room to make dumb mistakes
