Analyzing Images in Bulk with SheetXAI
Overview
SheetXAI now offers a streamlined approach to analyze and describe images directly in your Google Sheets through the SAI formula. This efficient method lets you generate descriptive content for multiple images while saving significant time and effort.
How to Analyze Images with the SAI Formula
Important Note for Excel Users: In Excel, the formula syntax is
=SHEETXAI.SAI()
instead of=SAI()
which is used in Google Sheets. The functionality is identical across both platforms.
Step 1: Prepare Your Image URLs
- Add image URLs to cells in your spreadsheet
- Ensure URLs are properly formatted and accessible
Step 2: Use the SAI Formula
- Enter the formula in this format:
=SAI("IMAGE request ", cell containing image url)
- For example:
=SAI("IMAGE Describe this product in detail", A2)
- The system will recognize requests that start with "IMAGE" and contain image URLs
Step 3: Customize Your Requests
- Tailor your image analysis requests based on your needs
- Examples:
=SAI("IMAGE Create detailed alt text", B3)
=SAI("IMAGE Identify main colors and objects", C4)
