URL Tab Settings in SheetXAI

Overview

The URL tab in SheetXAI settings configures the specific AI model that handles any SAI formulas containing URLs. This specialized setting ensures you have the right model for web content processing.

Key Information

Purpose

The URL tab determines which AI model will automatically process your SAI formulas that contain web addresses. This specialized setting optimizes performance for tasks that involve retrieving and analyzing online content.

Recommended Model

We highly recommend using Perplexity Sonar for this setting. This model offers:

• Efficient web content processing
• More cost-effective operation for URL-based tasks
• Strong performance with online information retrieval

When This Model Is Used

The AI model selected in the URL tab is automatically used whenever SheetXAI detects a URL (web address) in your SAI formula. URLs typically include "https://" or "http://" prefixes, which is how SheetXAI identifies them.

Example of automatic URL model usage:

=SAI("Summarize this webpage: https://example.com/article")  // Automatically uses URL model

Forcing URL Model Usage

You can also explicitly instruct SheetXAI to use your URL model even when no URL is present in your formula by using the !URL prefix:

=SAI("!URL Create a comparison of top streaming services")  // Forces URL model without actual URL

This is useful when you want to leverage the capabilities of your URL model for tasks that may not directly involve a specific web address.

Important Notes

• Unlike the Content tab, the URL tab does not support a cascade of multiple models
• Only one URL model can be configured at a time
• The system automatically detects URLs by looking for "http://" or "https://" patterns
• You can override the automatic Content model with the !URL prefix

How to Configure

1. Navigate to the Settings section in the SheetXAI sidebar
2. Select the URL tab
3. Choose your preferred AI provider (Perplexity recommended)
4. Select the specific model you want to use (Sonar recommended)
5. Ensure your API key is properly configured for the selected provider
6. Click Save to apply your changes

This specialized setting ensures your URL-based operations are handled by the model best suited for web content processing, while giving you the flexibility to invoke this capability even for non-URL tasks when needed.
