File Generation for ChatGPT (archive)

Ever wished you could download the data your get from ChatGPT?

Well, I have. So I created a custom GPT that allows the user to ask GPT to prepare data for downloading. With File Genertaion GPT you can simply ask the GPT for the data you need, and then get GPT to prepare a file that you can download.

Important Update

Soon after publishing the plugin I got a new feature in my ChatGPT - it allows creating files by default. I had fun creating it, so no harm done 😭 You can easily replicate anything this plugin did with native functionality. This is possible because of the introduction of Code Interpreter this GPT is no longer the best solution to get presentations. ChatGPT using Code Interpreter is able to generate files.

It depends on your account and if the feature has been already rolled out. It if has, you can simply ask ChatGPT to create the file and it will present you with a downloadable link. However if the feature is not yet available then you can give this GPT a try. You can test if you have this feature simply by asking ChatGPT if it can generate a csv file for you. If it responds that it can't then you don't have this feature yet and you can try out this custom GPT.

At the moment File Generation GPT allows the user to download xlsx, csv, ods and html formats. In case you are interested in presentations you can use our free ChatGPT Presentation Helper.

How to use File Generation GPT to download files from ChatGPT?

Step 1: Open ChatGPT

You will need the ChatGPT Plus (20$/ month) version. Custom GPTs can be used only in the paid version for now.

Step 2: Find the File Generation GPT

You can find the File Generation GPT here: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-brcwKUQFo-file-generation-gpt

Step 3: Generate the Data you Need

Simply ask the GPT for the data you need. In this example I asked GPT to prepare a list of all European country names and codes. First it will gather the data and ask you to verify.

Step 4: Verify or improve the Content

Step 5: Create the File

Confirm or ask the File Generation GPT to generate your file. If you indicated the file format initially it will already understand it, if you wish to change it, you can still do so.

GPT will talk to our server and return a link for you to download the file.

Step 6: Download the File

Go to the link returned by File Generation GPT, and download the file. The link will take you to our landing page where you will be able to download the file.

Step 7: Enjoy

You should have your data in the necessary file format. You can now use the data for further processing.

Bonus Tip!

Sometimes you might already have some data you want to process, you can feed the file to GPT and ChatGPT will read it and then return a new version with the needed improvements. For example, you might need to add another column or complete with additional rows.

With this tool, you can easily modify existing data, add new data, reformat or change the structure.
