GPT-3 and Google Sheets (2024)

ChatGPT + Sheets usage (advanced):

1. You’ll need an OpenAI account.
2. Create a new Google Sheet (you can use https://sheets.new).
3. Extensions > Apps Script.
4. Overwrite all text in the text box by pasting all the code below.
5. Retrieve your new secret key (sk-xxx) from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
6. Paste your new secret key (sk-xxx) into the script as indicated.
7. Click Save and Run icons. Authorise the application if needed.
8. Close the script window. Back in your new sheet, as an example, type “France” into A1. Then type this formula into B1: =IF(ISBLANK(A1),,GPT("The capital of "&A1&" is (name only):"))

1/Mar/2023: Updated to use ChatGPT. As of 1/Mar/2023, the script above uses OpenAI’s new ChatGPT as gpt-3.5-turbo via API for this functionality using the new chat completion endpoint., with a cost 10x lower than standard text-davinci-003. The original script using the older model is below, and could be adapted to use GPT-4.
