One formula, many workflows

Use AI where your data already lives.

Generate, clean, classify, extract, translate, and structure content
without moving records out of Google Sheets.

Write and rewrite

Produce summaries, descriptions, email drafts, reports, titles,
snippets, and polished versions of existing text.

Extract structured data

Pull names, dates, categories, keywords, JSON, HTML, and consistent
fields from messy notes or documents.

Classify and normalize

Categorize leads, standardize wording, detect themes, tag records,
translate text, and enforce repeatable formatting.

Process ranges

Pass one cell, several cells, or a complete range into the same
formula and ask GPT to analyze the combined context.

Control the output

Add precise instructions, limit output tokens, select a model in
your own-key mode, and force a new response when needed.

Avoid duplicate charges

Stable request IDs and caching help prevent repeated spreadsheet
recalculations from consuming the same call twice.

Choose your setup

Start free. Bring your own key when you are ready.

Both options use the same Apps Script. Switch between them later from
the Intelligex GPT menu.

For ongoing use

Your own OpenAI API key

Direct OpenAI billing

Send requests directly from Google Apps Script to OpenAI using your
own API account and available models.

  • No Intelligex registration required
  • Prompts do not pass through Intelligex
  • Choose an available OpenAI model
  • Control your own project limits and billing
  • Default model set to gpt-5-nano
!

A ChatGPT subscription and OpenAI API billing are separate. The free
Intelligex allowance does not require an OpenAI key, but own-key mode
is billed through your OpenAI API account.

Secure by design

Your Sheet never receives the Intelligex API key.

Free-credit requests use a verified access token. The private
Intelligex OpenAI key remains on the server.

The public Apps Script contains no Intelligex OpenAI key. It stores
either your own API key or a server-issued Intelligex access token in
your personal Apps Script User Properties.

Installation

From zero to your first AI formula in a few steps.

No plugin marketplace, browser extension, or external spreadsheet
add-on is required.

Subscribing unlocks the source code. Activating the 100-call
allowance is a separate in-Sheet email-verification step.

Formula examples

Start simple. Add structure when you need it.

The same formula can process a prompt, a single cell, a range, or
combined spreadsheet context.

Basic prompt
=GPT("Explain workflow automation in one sentence")
Rewrite a cell
=GPT(A2,"Rewrite professionally. Return only the result.")
Structured extraction
=GPT(A2,"Extract company, contact, email, and phone as JSON.")
Force a new answer
=GPT(A2,"","",1000,$Z$1)

Example output
Complete
{
  "company": "Northstar Logistics",
  "contact": "Jamie Chen",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "phone": "+1 416 555 0142"
}

Parameter Required Purpose
prompt Yes Text, cell, range, or combined formula content.
instructions No Task, format, tone, and output rules.
model No Used in own-key mode; ignored when the server controls the model.
max_output_tokens No Requested output limit. Free mode may apply a lower cap.
refresh No A changing value that forces a new request ID.

Privacy and practical limits

Use it like a productivity tool, not a vault.

The setup is designed to minimize unnecessary storage, but AI prompts
should still be treated as data leaving your spreadsheet.

Own-key mode

Requests go directly from Google Apps Script to OpenAI. Intelligex
does not receive the key, prompt, or response in this mode.

Free-credit mode

Requests pass through the Intelligex server for authentication,
usage tracking, rate limiting, and forwarding to the AI provider.

What is retained

Registration details, hashed identifiers, usage totals, request
IDs, errors, and temporarily cached output for duplicate protection.

!

Do not submit passwords, API keys, payment-card details, private health
information, regulated personal information, or confidential client
records through the free-credit mode.

Frequently asked questions

Everything users usually ask before installing.

Is this an official Google or OpenAI product?

No. It is an independent Intelligex tool built with Google Apps
Script and the OpenAI API.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

Not for the initial 100 Intelligex calls. A key is required only for
the own-key mode.

Does ChatGPT Plus include API usage?

No. ChatGPT subscriptions and OpenAI API billing are separate.

Can I use cells and ranges?

Yes. The function accepts direct text, one cell, or a two-dimensional
range.

Why did the same answer return again?

Identical requests may be cached. Change the fifth refresh parameter
to request a new generation.

Can I use it across thousands of rows?

Thousands of live custom formulas are not recommended. Use smaller
batches or a dedicated queued workflow for high-volume processing.

What happens after 100 calls?

Free mode stops generating new responses. Switch to your own OpenAI
API key for continued use.

Can I use it in a shared spreadsheet?

Yes, but use it only with trusted editors because editors can inspect
or modify the bound Apps Script project.

Beyond a single formula

Turn repetitive spreadsheet work into a real AI workflow.

Intelligex designs secure integrations, document-processing systems,
approval flows, data pipelines, and AI automations around the tools your
team already uses.
