Integrating GPT into Google Sheets
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become the hottest topic in the news, and everyone seems to be freaking out about it. However, life moves on, and nothing really changes, at least not yet. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, once said that someone told him that they shipped an AGI, but they were not impressed, and the world is continuing on. In this video, we will take a step back from the sensationalism of AI and integrate GPT into Google Sheets.
The Sensationalism of AI
Before we dive into the integration process, let's talk about the sensationalism of AI. AI has become a buzzword, and everyone is talking about it. However, the reality is that AI is still in its early stages, and we have a long way to go before we can achieve true artificial general intelligence (AGI). Therefore, we should not get carried away by the hype and focus on the practical applications of AI.
Integrating GPT into Google Sheets
To integrate GPT into Google Sheets, we will use ChatGPT, which provides us with code and instructions without any coding knowledge. First, we will ask GPT four to integrate GPT 3 into Google Sheets and follow the step-by-step guide provided. The first step is to get an API key from OpenAI, which we can do by logging in or signing up on the Open AI Playground platform. Once we have our API key, we can set up a paid account and Create a new Secret Key.
Setting up a Paid Account
To set up a paid account, we need to provide our credit card information and address. We can then navigate to the usage limit and set up a hard and soft limit. For example, we can set up a hard limit of 10 US dollars and a soft limit of eight. We can then create a new Secret Key, but we should Never post our key anywhere on the internet or Show it to anyone.
Using the API Key
Once we have our API key, we can include it in the script and use it to generate random business names. We can do this by typing "=GPT("prompt")" in a cell and dragging it to load the results. We can then edit the output by clicking the GPT button, which allows us to make changes to the text. We can also control our tokens and temperature here.
Bulk Upload Function in Canva
To turn our Excel file into an actual useful design at Scale, we can use the bulk upload function in Canva. For example, we can create SWOT analysis or event invitations. We can start by creating random advertisement ideas and copying the prompt. We can then download the CSV file and go to Canva to choose a template for SWOT analysis. We can then connect our fields to the appropriate data and press Continue to generate our SWOT analysis.
SWOT Analysis
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. We can use GPT to generate random advertisement ideas and then use Canva to create a SWOT analysis Based on the data in our Excel file.
Event Invitations
Event invitations can be boring in an Excel file, but we can use GPT and Canva to turn them into something more exciting. We can use GPT to generate random event ideas and then use Canva to create an invitation based on the data in our Excel file.
Prompt Engineering
If You thought this was impressive, imagine what's possible if you start learning prompt engineering. Prompt engineering is the process of designing Prompts that Elicit the desired response from GPT. With prompt engineering, we can create more complex prompts that generate more accurate and Relevant results.
Highlights
- Integrating GPT into Google Sheets can be done without any coding knowledge using ChatGPT.
- We can use GPT to generate random business names, advertisement ideas, event ideas, and more.
- We can use Canva to turn our Excel file into an actual useful design at scale, such as SWOT analysis and event invitations.
- Prompt engineering is the process of designing prompts that elicit the desired response from GPT.
FAQ
Q: Can I integrate GPT into other applications besides Google Sheets?
