GPT for Sheets and Docs
Overview
GPT for Sheets and Docs is a powerful add-on that brings the capabilities of Large Language Models, primarily powered by OpenAI's GPT, into your Google Sheets and Google Docs. It allows users to leverage AI directly within their familiar spreadsheet and document environment, eliminating the need to copy and paste content between applications.
In Google Sheets, the add-on provides custom functions (like GPT, GPT_LIST, GPT_TABLE, GPT_FILL, GPT_EDIT, GPT_CLASSIFY, GPT_EXTRACT) that can be used in formulas to perform various tasks on cell ranges or individual cells. This enables use cases such as generating content, extracting data from text, cleaning data, classifying information, translating text, summarizing long passages, and performing automated text analysis directly within your spreadsheets. In Google Docs, a sidebar interface provides similar AI capabilities for generating, editing, summarizing, or rephrasing text within your document.
The add-on significantly enhances productivity for tasks involving text manipulation, content creation, and data enrichment in Google Workspace. It aims to streamline workflows by keeping AI assistance readily available where your data and documents reside, making complex text operations simple formulas or sidebar actions.
