Integration and Usage

PromptLoop introduces a powerful suite of AI-driven capabilities directly into Excel and Google Sheets through simple formula activations. Each feature is activated on a per-sheet basis via the Add-on menu, requiring users to explicitly enable each instance of AI functionality.

The platform offers five core functions tailored for various data processing needs:

• Label Function: Automatically categorizes text across multiple languages, returning exact matches to user inputs. Requires activation on each new sheet through the Add-in menu.

• Browsing Function: Employs AI agents to navigate the web, collect current information, and provide accurate answers beyond simple training data sets. This function also requires sheet-specific activation.

• Inference Function: Specializes in text generation tasks such as content creation, summarization, and formatting assistance. Similar to the other functions, it needs explicit sheet activation through the Add-in menu syntax.

• Extract Function: Ideal for text extraction and summarization tasks, this function processes block text inputs to generate concise outputs. Like the others, it demands per-sheet activation.

• Replicate Function: Generates realistic fake data suitable for testing and simulation purposes, requiring sheet-specific configuration for optimal performance.

Each function utilizes a consistent formula structure for activation: =PROMPTLOOP(inputRange, outputRange, target). Users must ensure proper input formatting, avoiding undefined values or blank cells that could generate errors. The system maintains a robust set of safeguards, recalling model settings and reloading sheet data when input examples are updated or changed.

To begin using these AI capabilities, users can leverage the platform's comprehensive template library or create custom tasks through the integrated editor. This editor enables precise control over data processing instructions, allowing users to define inputs, outputs, and desired model behaviors without requiring technical coding knowledge.

Features and Capabilities

PromptLoop offers a flexible framework for creating AI-driven automation tailored to specific business challenges through its custom task capabilities. These tasks are functions that can be run repeatedly with different inputs and return multiple items, designed to handle website crawls and other data extraction needs. The platform provides access to hundreds of models through a task-based editor that allows users to specify tasks without learning new tools or interacting directly with AI models.

Users can upload data and run AI workflows to find bespoke data from websites and add custom categories to their datasets. The system supports multiple data formats including company websites, lead lists, web links, and unformatted line items. Datasets can be managed through the platform's repository system, which allows search, filtering, and sharing capabilities with up to hundreds of thousands of rows. Each task has a custom generated test page to preview outputs before finalization, and modifications can be made through the editor when updating task instructions.

The platform enables seamless integration with existing workflows through its spreadsheet applications, including direct support for Excel and Google Sheets. For scheduling and automating data processing tasks, users have access to the autoloop feature. PromptLoop maintains a robust set of safeguards, recalling model settings and reloading sheet data when input examples are updated or changed to ensure reliable performance.

Data processing tasks are managed through the company's account system, where users can save, edit, and rename dataset versions. After creating a task, users select Excel or CSV files containing input data, upload or create new jobs, and run them against the selected task. The platform automatically processes the dataset in the background and generates results as new dataset versions that users can then review, filter, and search through as needed.

Getting Started and Activation

Users can activate PromptLoop through two primary methods. For Google Sheets, they can either navigate to the "Get Add-Ons" feature and search for PromptLoop, or use the provided template sheet. After installation, activation occurs via the Add-on menu, where users simply click "Activate" to enable the system. This process links their email address to the PromptLoop account, allowing seamless integration throughout their spreadsheet operations.

The system requires explicit activation for each new sheet, following a consistent process. Users initiate this by navigating to the Add-in menu and selecting the appropriate PromptLoop function - whether it's text labeling, web browsing, inference, extraction, or replication. Once activated, these functions appear as standard spreadsheet formulas, allowing users to incorporate AI capabilities directly into their data processing workflows.

To ensure optimal performance, users must follow specific activation requirements. This includes providing correct input and output examples within the formula structure: =PROMPTLOOP(inputRange, outputRange, target). The system monitors input formatting closely, recalling model settings and reloading sheet data when changes are made to input examples. This ensures that users receive accurate outputs while maintaining the integrity of their dataset.

For users working in Excel, the activation process mirrors that of Google Sheets. Both applications support the full range of PromptLoop capabilities, from automated data tasks to custom task creation. The platform automatically updates with new capabilities, drawing from its own internal system that integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, and other data sources through a deployed REST API.

The activation process enables users to leverage PromptLoop's comprehensive features immediately, from web scraping and content analysis to complex data transformations. Users report significant efficiency gains, with current customers achieving 10x faster data processing while maintaining 100% format consistency. This robust framework supports both individual users and enterprise teams, with flexible pricing tiers that scale to meet varying needs and budgets.
