Talk to Your Google Sheets with AI | n8n Template + OpenAI GPT-5 Mini Demo

Описание: n8n workflow: https://n8n.io/workflows/7449-talk-to...

Imagine being able to talk to your spreadsheet like it’s a teammate. That’s exactly what this n8n workflow does. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to connect Google Sheets to OpenAI’s GPT-5 Mini so you can ask plain-English questions about your data — and get instant, conversational answers.

This workflow, called “Talk to Your Data”, is perfect for marketing, sales, operations, or finance teams who deal with numbers every day but don’t want to waste time digging through rows and formulas. Instead, you can just ask:

“What’s the total spend across all campaigns?”

“Show me spend for Paid Search only.”

“What’s the month-over-month change in ad spend?”

“Rank my top-performing campaigns by conversion rate.”

“What’s the cost per lead by channel?”

The AI model reads your Google Sheet, interprets your question, and responds with clear insights. Thanks to the Memory node in n8n, the workflow also supports follow-up questions, so you can drill down naturally. For example, after asking about Paid Search, you can follow up with: “How does that compare to Paid Social?” — and it knows what you mean.
