  1. Open Google Sheets
  2. Go to Extensions → Add-ons → Get add-ons

Using the Service

How do I analyze an image?

There are two ways to analyze images:

Method 1: Custom Function

=ANALYZEIMG(A1, "What do you see in this image?")
=ANALYZEIMG("https://example.com/image.jpg", "Count the people in this photo")

Method 2: Sidebar Interface

  1. Open the Image Analyzer sidebar
  2. Select or paste an image URL
  3. Enter your question or prompt
  4. Choose your AI model
  5. Click "Analyze"

  • JPEG/JPG
  • PNG
  • GIF
  • WebP
  • BMP
  • Images can be provided as URLs or cell references containing image URLs

What AI models are available?

  • GPT-4 Vision (OpenAI): Best for general image analysis and complex reasoning
  • Gemini Pro Vision (Google): Great for detailed visual understanding
  • Claude 3 (Anthropic): Excellent for nuanced analysis and creative tasks

What types of questions can I ask?

  • Object identification: "What objects are in this image?"
  • Text extraction: "What text is visible in this image?"
  • Counting: "How many cars are in this parking lot?"
  • Description: "Describe this product in detail"
  • Analysis: "What emotions are expressed in this photo?"

Technical Questions

Why do I get authentication errors?

  • Make sure you've granted all necessary permissions when prompted
  • Try refreshing your browser and reopening the add-on
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
  • If issues persist, contact support@tetrahedral.ai

Why is my image analysis slow?

Analysis speed depends on:

  • AI provider server load
  • Image complexity and size
  • Your internet connection
  • Current service demand

Typical analysis takes 5-30 seconds.

Can I analyze images stored in Google Drive?

Currently, images must be accessible via public URLs. To analyze Drive images:

  1. Make the image publicly viewable
  2. Get the direct image URL
  3. Use that URL in your analysis

What if I get an error message?

Common errors and solutions:

  • "Usage limit exceeded": Upgrade your plan or wait for monthly reset
  • "Invalid image URL": Ensure the URL is publicly accessible and points directly to an image
  • "Authentication failed": Re-authenticate through the sidebar
  • "Service unavailable": Try again in a few minutes

Privacy and Security

Is my data secure?

Yes, we use industry-standard security measures:

  • HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
  • Google OAuth 2.0 for secure authentication
  • Images are processed but not stored permanently
  • Usage data is encrypted and stored securely

Are my images stored permanently?

No, images are processed temporarily and not permanently stored on our servers. They're only sent to AI providers for analysis and then discarded.

Troubleshooting

The add-on won't load

  1. Refresh your browser
  2. Disable browser extensions that might interfere
  3. Try opening in an incognito/private window
  4. Clear browser cache and cookies
  5. Check if Google Sheets is working properly

Custom function returns an error

  • Ensure the image URL is publicly accessible
  • Check that your prompt is not empty
  • Verify you haven't exceeded your usage limits
  • Try using a different AI model

Results seem inaccurate

  • AI models can make mistakes - always verify important results
  • Try rephrasing your question for better results
  • Different AI models may give different perspectives
  • For critical decisions, consider getting human verification

Best Practices

How do I get better results?

  • Be specific: Instead of "What's in this image?", try "List all the products visible on this store shelf"
  • Use clear images: Higher quality images generally produce better results
  • Ask focused questions: Break complex questions into smaller parts
  • Experiment with models: Different AI models excel at different tasks

How can I organize my image analysis?

  • Use separate columns for images, questions, and results
  • Create templates for common analysis types
  • Use consistent naming conventions for your prompts
  • Keep a log of successful prompt patterns
