Do I need an API key?
Yes. You need to create and set up an API key to access the models available in your account.
Is gpt-4o supported?
Yes, gpt-4o is supported, provided that this model is available on your OpenAI account. To check if you have access, go to the OpenAI playground and check if you can select gpt-4o.
Why is my response cut or incomplete?
Models have a maximum token limit, which is the maximum total number of tokens that can be used in both the input and the response. This means models may not provide complete responses to long queries or when a large portion of text is selected as input.
To stay within the token limit, you can:
Highlight a smaller portion of text in your document.
Reduce the value of Max response tokens.
Select a model with a higher limit.
Can I use my OpenAI Assistants and custom GPTs?
No. GPT for Docs does not currently support OpenAI Assistants or custom GPTs.
You can use OpenAI Assistants and custom GPTs in GPT for Excel and GPT for Sheets:
Set your OpenAI API key and your Assistants will become available in the model switcher.
You can replicate your custom GPTs as Assistants to make them available in the model switcher.
Is there a limit to the number of requests I can send?

Which languages can I use?
Models work in many languages, but deliver the best results in English. All we can say is, try it. It is usually better to prompt in the language you want the response to be in. In any case, avoid mixing languages in a prompt.
