Which Model Does the Assistant Use?
Grist’s AI Formula Assistant uses the gpt-3.5-turbo model (aka ChatGPT).
Grist self-hosters can also use gpt-4 as a chat completion endpoint, as well as the LLaMA family of self-hostable models via llama-cpp-python.
HOW DOES the ASSISTANT USE MY DATA?
No user data is sent until a user submits a message to the assistant.
Upon submission, your query and schema are sent to OpenAI so that the assistant may better understand your document. You can view your data’s schema in code view.
For more information, read our AI Assistant Data Use Policy.
CAN SELF-HOSTED GRIST INSTANCES USE THE FORMULA ASSISTANT?
For self-hosters looking to connect their Grist instance, set the AI Formula Assistant-related variables to configure ChatGPT or local endpoints as available.

How is Grist’s Formula Assistant different from other AI tools?
Grist focuses on a “Formula Assistant” instead of a more generalized generative AI tool for two main reasons:
- Grist is different than other spreadsheets. With Grist, the structure and relationship of the data is explicit (and can be seen in Code View). This gives the AI tool an extra understanding of how the data in your document is connected. You can see an example of this in our original AI experiment.
- Grist formulas use Python, and LLMs like ChatGPT “know” a lot of Python thanks to the language’s popularity and longevity.
