Looking for a way to streamline your idea generation and question answering process? Look no further! This automation will retrieve a list of queries or prompts from an Airtable, process them using OpenAI, and then save the resulting answers back to an Airtable.

Whether you're an individual looking to improve your productivity or a business that needs to respond to a high volume of inquiries, this automation can help simplify and speed up the process. No more spending hours brainstorming ideas or manually typing out responses.

So if you're ready to take your idea generation and question answering to the next level, this automation is the perfect solution!

Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Create an Airtable

The first step is to create an Airtable with all the questions you want answered and a second Airtable with a field for all the answers you want to save.

Make sure to create a second table that will contain your answers. You will need to specify the second table during your playbook setup.

Bardeen will get your queries from the first database, generate answers for them using OpenAI and save them to your second database.

Step 2: Integrate Airtable

You will be redirected to install the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Airtable.

Click the “Pin it” button at the top of this page to get this automation saved to your Playbooks. 

Click on the playbook card, and the setup flow will start. 

You will be asked to specify your Airtable that contains the queries.  After you choose the database, Bardeen will ask you for the column name that contains the queries. Make sure to enter the column name correctly. Finally, you will get a prompt to specify an output Airtable for the results. 

After you have chosen the database, you will get a prompt to map the information to the fields in Airtable.

The left side consists of all the fields Bardeen will scrape for you. On the right side, specify the fields in Airtable that you want to associate with the information on the left. If you don’t want a piece of information, leave that field empty, and it will be skipped. That’s it!

Click on “Save Input” and checkmark Airtable. You can edit Inputs later by hovering over the playbook. 

Step 3: Get a list of prompts from Airtable and answer them with OpenAI

When you want to get answers from OpenAI to a list of your questions, add them to your Airtable, activate Bardeen (or hit OPTION + B) and run this playbook. It will generate the answers and save them to your output Airtable.
