AI UPGRADE
💪 ChatGPT in Google Sheets
Bard is soon to be available in Google apps. But if you’re a fan of ChatGPT and wish to integrate it with Google Sheets, here's how to do it.
SheetGPT allows you to take advantage of GPT to create content, lists, images, translations, summaries, data normalization and more, all directly in your spreadsheets.
So inside any Google Sheet, you can prompt GPT using a function within a cell, just as you would invoke standard functions in Sheets such as SUM(), AVERAGE(), and so on.
Here’s how that looks:

It’s pretty neat! Here are the steps to set it up:
Install SheetGPT from Google Workspace Marketplace.
Once installed, open a Google Sheet.
You'll find SheetGPT in the “Extensions > Add-ons” menu.
Select “SheetGPT > Start” to launch the sidebar.
Input your text in the sidebar, choose the desired function, and let SheetGPT do the magic!
You can check out all the GPT functions supported by SheetGPT here.
Note that an OpenAI API key is NOT required, and the first 100,000 words of inputs and outputs are free.
That’s a wrap
