GPT for Sheets and Docs

GPT for Sheets and Docs is a popular Google Workspace add-on that embeds generative AI capabilities directly into Google Sheets and Google Docs. With this tool installed, users can harness the power of GPT-3.5/4 to automate a variety of tasks. In Google Sheets, it introduces custom functions like =GPT() and =GPT_LIST() that you can use in cells: for instance, you might use =GPT(A2, "Summarize this column of survey feedback") to get an AI-generated summary of text data in a spreadsheet, or use it to categorize a list of customer reviews by sentiment.

In Docs, it can help you compose and edit text, translate content, or generate ideas. The add-on allows bulk operations too (e.g., translating a list of phrases or generating responses for multiple prompts at once). It supports multiple AI models (you can choose which model to use based on speed/cost vs. quality needs) and requires an OpenAI API key, ensuring your data remains under your control.

GPT for Sheets and Docs has a free version with limited requests and a premium version for unlimited or higher-volume usage. It’s incredibly useful for tasks like content generation, data cleaning (removing duplicates, standardizing text), classification, or just tapping AI to help write and analyze directly where your data lives - in your spreadsheets and documents.
