Adding Context to Messages in SheetXAI

Overview

We've added a powerful new feature to SheetXAI that allows you to provide specific context from your spreadsheet to guide your conversations with the AI. This feature helps overcome the default limitation where SheetXAI only sees the first five rows of your data.

How to Use the Add Context Feature

Step 1: Select Relevant Cells

  • Select any cells in your spreadsheet that contain information you want the AI to reference
  • You can select individual cells, ranges, or multiple selections
  • The selected cells will be highlighted to show they're being added as context

Step 1: Click the Add Context Button

  • Open the SheetXAI sidebar
  • Look for the "Add Context" button in the chat interface
  • Click it and wait

Step 3: Ask Your Question

  • With your context added, type your question in the chat box
  • Your question can now reference the specific data you've selected
  • Example: "What's the first row that I selected?"

Step 4: Receive Contextual Responses

  • SheetXAI will respond based on the specific context you've provided
  • The AI can now reference data anywhere in your spreadsheet, not just the first five rows

Benefits

  • See Beyond the Default Limit: Access and reference data beyond the first five rows
  • Targeted Analysis: Focus the AI on specific parts of your data that are relevant to your current task
  • Privacy Preservation: Only share the exact data you want, maintaining control over sensitive information
  • Flexible Selection: Add multiple cell ranges from different parts of your spreadsheet

Use Cases

This feature is particularly helpful when you need to:

  • Reference specific records deep in your dataset
  • Compare particular data points across your spreadsheet
  • Analyze information from multiple sections simultaneously
  • Provide examples for the AI to follow in its responses

The Add Context feature gives you greater control over your interactions with SheetXAI, making it more precise and powerful for your specific needs.
