Flowshot

Flowshot is an AI plugin for Google Sheets that allows users to utilize AI in their spreadsheets. It offers features such as AI prompts, autocomplete for repetitive tasks, custom model training without code, and the generation of formulas and AI images.

To use Flowshot, simply install the Flowshot add-on from the Google Marketplace. Once installed, you can access Flowshot within Google Sheets and start using AI prompts by using the =AI() function. You can give instructions, ask questions, and reference cells to automate tasks. Additionally, you can train custom AI models on your spreadsheet data to further streamline your workflows.

Install Flowshot by following the instructions provided on the website. Make sure to periodically save your formulas to conserve characters.

If you encounter frequent #ERROR! messages or cannot open the sidebar, it may be due to using multiple Google accounts. If the issue persists, contact support through the live chat.

Characters are counted as the inputs and outputs processed by Flowshot, including prompts, examples, and generated results. You can track your monthly character count from the Flowshot sidebar.

Flowshot can automate repetitive text-based tasks such as extracting sales prospect emails from messy data, bulk-translating text, and rewriting ad copy into multiple variations. You can start with AI prompts and progress to training custom models with sufficient examples.

The choice between AI prompts, Autocomplete, and custom models depends on your specific use case. AI prompts are easy to use but have limited context, while Autocomplete relies on examples. Custom models are trained on hundreds or thousands of examples for specific tasks and can be used with Autocomplete, API, and Zapier integrations.

Custom model training and usage are added to your monthly plan and billed at cost price. Flowshot negotiates better rates with providers or offers predictable fixed monthly costs for open source models. There are no transaction fees or markups.

Flowshot uses a blend of in-house AI models optimized for speed and performance, along with providers such as OpenAI. The best model for each task is automatically selected by the algorithm.
