Are you curious about the power of AI and how it can enhance your digital toolset? Look no further! In this easy-to-follow tutorial, you'll learn how to connect OpenAI's GPT-3, a powerful AI model, with Google Sheets. Discover the simplicity of creating low-code tools and supercharge your productivity in less than 10 minutes!

Pre-requisites:

  1. A valid credit or debit card - OpenAI requires this to access their complimentary credits.

  2. An OpenAI account - This is where your card details will be used.

  3. A Google account - Necessary to create the Google Sheet for content generation.

  4. A readiness to copy and paste code - This tutorial requires no extensive coding knowledge.

Simple Steps to Integrate GPT Tech with Google Sheets:

Step 1: Set Up a Google Sheet

Kickstart the process by creating a new Google Sheet. Feel free to name it as per your preference. For this tutorial, we'll name it "[Test] OpenAI and Sheets."

Step 2: Copy the Essential App Script Code

The subsequent step involves copying the app script code, crafted by developer Abi Raja. You can find this code via the provided GitHub link. You have the option to download it as a zip file or just copy it directly.

Step 3: Implement the App Script Code

Return to your Google Sheet and paste the copied code into the App Script area. This can be found under "Extensions" > "App Script."

Step 4: Personalize Your Secret Key

In your App Script, replace the secret key on line one with your personal API key from OpenAI. You can locate this API key in your OpenAI account under "View API Keys". After copying the key, paste it into the App Script window.

Step 5: Run a Trial Query

Upon saving your key, you're set to run a test query. Try the function =ai("write a tweet about how cool AI is", 1) and witness the AI magic!

Voila! You've now established a working connection between Google Sheets and OpenAI's GPT-3. Feel empowered to experiment with various prompts and observe the AI's responses.

Do remember that while GPT-3 is a robust tool, it may require some tweaking from your end. Also, its knowledge base is updated till 2020, so it might not provide accurate responses for recent events.

Have fun exploring your new AI-powered tool! Stay tuned for future tutorials focusing on creating specific types of content drafts.
