Lets create our first table
Generate Your Table1
There are three ways to start a table in Ottogrid:
Generate a Table with a Prompt: Describe what you want, and Ottogrid will automatically create a table for you.
Use a Template: Choose from our pre-built templates designed for various use cases.
Import Your Own Data: Upload a CSV file to create a table from your existing data.
For this quick start guide, we'll focus on generating a table using a prompt.
Click "Create New Table" from your dashboard.
Enter a prompt that describes your desired table. For example:
“Create a table to analyze AI start ups”
“Build a table of sales prospects in the software industry.”
“Build a table to compare real estate properties in Los Angeles for sale”
Ottogrid will instantly generate a fully configured table based on your prompt, complete with relevant columns and settings.
Review and Further Customize Your Table2
Review the Generated Table: Ottogrid will create your table with a name, columns, and configurations based on your prompt. Check the table structure to ensure it fits your needs. For example, a "Tech Startups" table might include columns like Company Name, Industry, Funding Amount, and Website URL.
Customize Your Table: You can make adjustments as needed:
Use the AI Chat Assistant: Ask the assistant to rename columns, add more columns, or explain how the table can be used for different insights.
Manual Adjustments: Make any changes directly in the table, such as reordering columns or adding new fields.
