✅ Benefits of Using Promptitude in Excel
Seamless workflow integration: Generate AI content directly where you work without switching between applications
Batch processing: Run multiple prompts simultaneously by simply dragging formulas across cells
Customizable inputs: Replace variables in specific cells to tailor each prompt to your exact needs
Organized results: Keep all your AI-generated content neatly structured within your spreadsheet
A/B testing capabilities: Easily compare different prompt variations side by side
Prompt chaining: Build sophisticated prompt sequences within the same Excel file
📌 Before You Start: Important Notes
Before diving in, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:
Resource Usage: Your computer's resources will be used when running Promptitude in Excel's native application. This means:
Processing may take longer than in the web application
Be patient during formula execution and prompt refreshes
Avoid multiple clicks which can trigger numerous requests simultaneously
Token Consumption: Every formula execution consumes tokens from your Promptitude account.
Inserting, pasting, dragging, or refreshing formulas triggers new generations
Consider creating a dedicated API key specifically for Excel usage to track consumption
Use "Paste values only" for results you want to keep without re-running formulas
Formula Handling: To prevent unwanted executions.
Add an apostrophe (') before formulas you want to save but not execute
Copy important formulas to a safe location with a space or quote before the equals sign
Set cell format to "General" for proper formula execution
🔸 What You'll Need
Excel's desktop application installed on your computer (the online version is not supported)
Your Promptitude API Key
The Promptitude Excel Template (downloadable from the platform)
Since this template runs on your computer's resources, processing might take longer than web-based operations. Please be patient during execution.
Enable macros if prompted (this is necessary for the template to function properly)
👌🏻 Best Practices
Save your work frequently to prevent losing configurations
Create a separate worksheet for each distinct use case
Document your setup with notes and instructions for future reference
Monitor your API usage through your Promptitude dashboard
For complex workflows, consider creating a template with your most-used prompts already configured
Remember that while the template works exclusively with the native Excel application on your computer (not the online version), it offers all the core functionality you've come to expect from Promptitude—now integrated seamlessly with your favorite spreadsheet tool.
