Welcome to Coding with Nivesh! In this tutorial, we will explore how to integrate ChatGPT with Google Sheets using the ChatGPT API and Apps Script.
We will create two custom formulas: GPT summary and GPD simplify. GPT summary can be used to summarize large chunks of text into bullet points, making it easier to read. GPD simplify allows you to simplify English text into easy-to-read English.
Additionally, we will create menus that perform the same functions as the custom formulas. We will also discuss the pros and cons of using formulas versus menus.
By the end of this video, you will understand how to integrate GPT with Google Sheets using Apps Script. You will also be able to modify the formulas and menus to suit your own needs, such as creating CVs or resumes.
To get started, you will need to create an account with OpenAI and obtain an API key. Once you have the API key, you can use it to fetch data from the ChatGPT API.
Next, open your Google Sheets spreadsheet where you want to apply the GPT formula. Create two columns: ‘Passes’ and ‘Simplified Passes’. We will also create a column called ‘Summarize Text’.
In the Apps Script for your spreadsheet, create a variable called ‘chatGPTAPI’ and assign it the value of your API key. This variable will be used to authenticate your requests to the ChatGPT API.
Next, create a function called ‘faceData’ with two parameters: ‘systemContent’ and ‘userContent’. This function will fetch data from the ChatGPT API and return the response.
Now, create a function called ‘GPTsimplify’ that takes in a range of data from your spreadsheet. This function will simplify the text or passage provided as input.
Similarly, create a function called ‘GPTsummary’ that takes in a range of data from your spreadsheet. This function will summarize the text into bullet points.
To apply the formulas, select the range of data in your spreadsheet and enter the formula name (‘GPTsimplify’ or ‘GPTsummary’) in the corresponding column.
To avoid rate limits, consider using custom menus instead of custom formulas. Create a new script file and define the ‘GPTsimplifyMenu’ and ‘GPTsummaryMenu’ functions. These functions will simplify and summarize the text, respectively.
To add the custom menu to your spreadsheet, use the ‘onOpen’ trigger function. This function will execute whenever the spreadsheet is reloaded or relaunched.
Once the menu appears, you can apply the formulas by selecting the desired range of data and clicking on the corresponding menu option.
Please note that as a free user, there is a rate limit for the ChatGPT API. If you exceed the rate limit, you may encounter errors. Consider waiting for a minute before applying the formulas again.
In conclusion, integrating ChatGPT with Google Sheets using the ChatGPT API and Apps Script allows you to simplify and summarize text easily. Custom menus provide an alternative to custom formulas, helping you avoid rate limits.
