Pro Tips for ChatGPT + Google Sheets

Create a Prompt Library

Prompt Category Effectiveness Notes
“Explain [topic] like I’m 5” Simplification High Good for complex topics
“Give me 10 alternatives to…” Brainstorming Medium Sometimes repetitive
“Act as a [role]…” Role-play High Very effective

Track Research Sessions

When using ChatGPT for research:

  1. Create a new sheet for each project
  2. Save conversation URLs so you can return to them
  3. Add a “Verified” column to fact-check AI responses
  4. Use filters to organize by topic

Build a Code Snippet Library

If you use ChatGPT for coding:

  1. Create columns: Language, Description, Code, Source URL
  2. Save working code snippets as you go
  3. Add notes about modifications you made
  4. Tag with project names for easy searching

Save Faster with Add to Sheets Pro

With Add to Sheets Pro, you can:

  • Quick Row Entry — Fill out a form with all your columns (Prompt, Response, Topic, URL) and save an entire row at once instead of field by field
  • Use multiple keyboard shortcuts — Different shortcuts for prompts vs. responses
  • Save to multiple sheets — Organize by project or category automatically
  • Extract all links — Pull every URL from a ChatGPT response at once

Quick Row Entry is especially useful for ChatGPT—open the form from the extension, paste your prompt in one field, paste the response in another, add a topic tag, and save everything in one click.
