Analyzing Airtable Data with Custom GPT: A Step-by-Step Guide

How you too can build your own Junior Data Analyst to help you browse through your Airtable data!

As someone who works often with Airtable, I often end up gathering a lot of data across the able. As the tables expand I find it increasingly taxing to dig out the simplest insights from such a complex database.

Airtable Interfaces have helped here a lot, but still digging out precise information or getting certain data cuts is not always easy.

For a while I have observed some of my clients drop CSV files to ChatGPT and have the machine do the work for them. Since latest November OpenAI release, we finally have a way to connect ChatGPT with Airtable.

Custom GPTs

The unfortunate name GPTs means an customized version of general ChatGPT focused on a specific task.

While majority of GPTs focus on customizing the Description and instruction of the GPT, the real power lies with custom actions. Action allow you to use OpenAPI specification to connect GPT to any API endpoint. This means also Airtable.
