Lesson 1.4 — Set up SheetAI for free with your own key

1:06

Install the add-on, bring your own API key, and pay only provider cost.

Transcript preview

Let us get you set up. And we are going to do it for free, because SheetAI lets you bring your own API key and pay only what the model actually costs. Three steps, about five minutes. Install SheetAI from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Create an API key with OpenAI, Claude or Gemini. Then paste that key into the SheetAI sidebar. That is the whole setup. Let us talk about what this costs, because it matters for your margins. A thousand classified rows costs you a few rupees. Five hundred product descriptions costs under a hundred rupees. And you are billing thousands for that same job. The margin on this work is not normal. Type this into any cell to prove it works. Sheet A I, open bracket, quote, say hello and tell me you are working. If you get a response back, everything else in this course will work for you. And one habit that will save you money from day one. Always test your prompt on five rows before you drag it down five hundred. A badly worded prompt run across a thousand rows is wasted money and wasted time. Five rows first, every single time.
