Setup

Get PromptCell running in under five minutes.

Setup should be simple: install the add-on, sign in once from the sidebar, and run a first formula that proves the product is useful on real sheet data.

Private beta access: PromptCell has a private Google Workspace Marketplace listing. Request access if you do not already have the invite link from your workspace admin.

Setup steps

Use this order to avoid confusion.

Step 1: Install the add-on

Use your private beta invite link, or request access if you do not have one yet. After installation, open a spreadsheet and look for Extensions > PromptCell > Configure & Sign In.

Step 2: Sign in once in the sidebar

Use Google sign-in from the PromptCell sidebar. The same account can then be reused in future sheets.

Step 3: Start with one useful formula

Pick a real task like summarizing a row, cleaning imported data, or matching a customer tier from another sheet.

Try this first

A good first run should prove PromptCell can read sheet data and write one useful answer back into the grid.

1. Add one sample row

In a blank sheet, put this short customer note in A2:

Acme Co. needs a renewal follow-up next week and asked about pricing.

2. Run one formula

In B2, use this starter formula:

=ASK("Summarize this customer note as one next action", A2)

3. Check the result

You should get a short action item in the cell. If the formula asks you to connect first, open the sidebar and finish sign-in.

4. Try your real row

Replace the sample note with one row from your actual workflow: a lead, support issue, customer record, or messy imported value.
