goodlookup is a smart, pre-trained AI model designed to deliver advanced lookup functionality for spreadsheet users, particularly in Google Sheets. Its primary feature is the ability to perform fuzzy matching that goes beyond traditional approaches by delivering similarity-based results that rely not only on exact string matching, but also on semantic and cultural relationships between text strings.

This feature enables users to match similar text in a way that a human would understand. Furthermore, the tool successfully addresses the join problem most modern spreadsheet users face, revolving around managing data scattered in several locations and differing naming conventions.

By providing solutions for text-to-text record linking issues, goodlookup fosters clarity and unity in data viewing. Pertaining to its application, it is proficient in identifying synonyms, cultural similarities and semantic relations between text strings.

For instance, it can match ‘Ronaldo’ to ‘Ronaldo Lus Nazrio de Lima’ or ‘soccer’. It does not aim to replace fuzzy matching but to enhance it, providing an additional, superior tool for your data operations toolkit.

The utility of each match is represented by a score indicating the intensity of neighboring words in the vector space, with the highest scores assigned to longer strings matching identically to other long strings.
