Coda Integration

The short answer: open Coda, click into any doc section or table, press ⌃+⌥+R (Mac) or Ctrl+Alt+R (Windows/Linux), speak your table structure or formula logic for 60-90 seconds, and AICHE inserts formatted specifications.

Coda combines docs and databases, but describing complex table relationships takes 15+ minutes of typing. You understand the formula logic perfectly in your head, but translating it to text requires typing column names, relationship mappings, and conditional logic across multiple paragraphs.

1. Open Coda in your browser.
2. Navigate to your doc or create a new one.
3. Click where you want to add content or create a table.
4. Press your AICHE hotkey to start recording.
5. Speak your complete specification.
6. Press the hotkey again-AICHE transcribes, applies Content Organization to structure logic clearly, and inserts the text.

Document Creation

For new Coda docs, speak the overall structure first. Example dictation: "Create a project management doc with three main sections. First section: project overview containing description, goals, timeline, and budget fields. Second section: team roster table listing members with columns for name, role, email, and availability percentage. Third section: task tracking system with dependencies and automation."

After speaking the structure, AICHE gives you the blueprint to build from.

Table Workflows

Creating Tables with Voice

Speak table schemas completely (example: "Create a project tracker table. First column: title as text field for task names. Second column: status as select dropdown with options To Do, In Progress, Done, and Blocked. Third column: assignee as person selector linked to the team roster table. Fourth column: due date as date field. Fifth column: priority as select with High, Medium, Low options. Add a formula column called days until due that calculates the difference between due date and today").

AICHE captures the complete structure. You build the table manually using Coda's interface, but the spoken spec eliminates the cognitive load of remembering all columns while clicking through menus.

Formula Dictation

For complex formulas, speak the logic in plain language. Example: "Create a formula that calculates project completion percentage. Take the count of tasks where status equals Done, divide by the total count of all tasks, multiply by 100, and format as percentage with one decimal place. If there are no tasks, return zero instead of error."

AICHE transcribes your verbal logic. You translate it to Coda's formula syntax manually, but having the plain-language version prevents mistakes and clarifies intent for team members reading your formulas.

Automation Setup

Coda's automations benefit from voice specification. Speak the trigger, conditions, and actions sequentially: "Set up automation that triggers when task status changes to Done. Condition: check if the task priority is High. Action one: send Slack message to project-updates channel with task title and assignee name. Action two: update the completed tasks count in the dashboard. Action three: add timestamp to the completion date field."

The dictated workflow becomes documentation while guiding your manual setup in Coda's automation builder.

Result: Coda docs with complex table relationships and formulas that took 25 minutes to type while constantly checking column names now take 6 minutes to dictate, and the spoken specifications double as documentation for team members learning your systems.

Do this now: open Coda, press your hotkey, and dictate one table structure with relationships, formulas, and automation logic you've been planning mentally but haven't built because typing the specs felt overwhelming.
