Bringing AGI to 1 Billion Spreadsheet Workers

Our mission at Shortcut is to bring AGI to 1 billion spreadsheet workers. AGI is advancing faster than it is proliferating, and we worry about the world being left behind. Our first step is simple: make Shortcut usable without hard stops.

Starting today, Free and Pro users automatically fall back to a free open source model when they run out of credits — instead of hitting a paywall. No action required. When your credits are spent, you keep working.

The Fallback Model

The fallback is MiniMax, an open source model we serve on our own infrastructure with the same enterprise-grade security as the rest of Shortcut. It scores well — but it is still a few months behind the frontier models available on paid credits. It is also significantly faster, which makes it useful for rapid iteration and exploratory work.

What Comes Next

This is step one. We will keep pushing to put frontier-level spreadsheet intelligence in the hands of as many people as possible.
