"This app saved me so much time and effort. Great for anyone looking to build a contact list or network at scale quickly. As a start-up it's been invaluable."
"Working pretty nifty compared to Snov.Io. Price wise it does give a fair shake, and IMO better interface since it's google sheets."
"Derrick is a very simple and user-friendly app to enrich your contacts database. Best thing: you can test it for free. And then the price is so low, it's a no brainer."
"Super easy to enrich linkedin urls using this tool. Both personal and company url data can be easily enriched with a click of a button."
"Amazing Tool, I would like to advocate this to my colleagues. So that you can get more users. Keep it Up. 5 Stars!"
"This app is fantastic. Brilliantly created to help small and mid sized businesses."
"I have been using other expensive apps or freemium like phantombuster, but Derrick has replaced them all. I love the simplicity of the Google sheet add-in, but what is best is the efficiency it delivers."
"The LinkedIn scraping and email finder combo is incredibly powerful. I can build a complete prospect list with contact info in under an hour. Absolute must-have for outbound."
"Have tested over 10+ LI scraper apps, Derrick beats them all. Simple to use, accurate data, and affordable price."
Calling Claude 3.5 Sonnet from inside Google Sheets covers the workflows where Claude's stronger reasoning, longer context window, and better tone-control matter more than raw speed — qualitative lead scoring from free-text bios, summarising long customer-call transcripts cell-by-cell, extracting structured fields from messy CRM notes.
Derrick gives you a single function — paste a prompt referencing other cells, get Claude's response back. No Anthropic API key to provision, no separate billing relationship to set up, no rate-limit code to write. The credit cost is bundled into Derrick's standard plan : roughly $0.007 per call on the Pro plan, free up to 100 calls/month, no card. Most teams alternate Claude and GPT-4 on the same Sheet — Claude for the qualitative reasoning tasks, GPT-4 for the structured-extraction tasks. Higher volumes on the Derrick pricing page.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install anything to use Ask Claude?
Just the Derrick Google Sheets add-on (one click, no API keys, no developer setup). Once installed, Ask Claude is one of the workflows available from the Derrick sidebar inside any Sheet. The same feature is also available via REST API and via the Derrick MCP server for Claude / ChatGPT.
Can I use Ask Claude on a list of 1,000+ rows?
Yes - Ask Claude runs as a batch job inside Google Sheets, with progress tracking and per-row credit accounting. The workflow scales linearly: 10 rows or 10,000 rows, the steps are identical and you can step away while it runs.
Where does the data behind Ask Claude come from?
Derrick aggregates 10+ public-data sources (LinkedIn graph, company websites, registry data, web crawl, third-party providers) and runs them in a waterfall for Ask Claude. The first source that returns a confident match wins; if no source is confident enough, the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
Is Ask Claude GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Derrick only enriches public data, doesn't store personal records beyond the duration of the lookup, and supports full deletion on request. The Sheets add-on runs inside Google's OAuth-protected environment so your data stays private to your account.
Can I trigger Ask Claude automatically when I add a row?
Yes - set up a Google Sheets onEdit trigger (Apps Script, takes 2 minutes) so a new row in column A automatically runs Ask Claude into column B. Pair with Zapier / Make / n8n to push CRM contacts directly into the sheet for hands-free enrichment.
