TL;DR · WeSearch summary

The author faced challenges with a disorganized Google Contacts list containing over 1,500 entries. Google Contacts' built-in tools were insufficient for a comprehensive cleanup, prompting the author to turn to Google Sheets for assistance. With the help of Gemini, the author successfully organized and streamlined their contact information.

Key facts

▪The author's Google Contacts list had become cluttered with random names and numbers due to years of networking.
▪Google Contacts offered limited tools for cleaning up the contact list, making it difficult to manage duplicates and missing information.
▪Using Google Sheets and Gemini, the author was able to effectively organize and normalize their contact data.
