A GPT agent is a tool the GPT can use to get information or to take an action. When you ask a question, the GPT breaks it into steps and can call agents to do those steps. This can be a lookup of parts or codes from a spreadsheet, or complex calculations or API integrations to other systems.

Scripts

A script is an active Agent or tool to calculate or find information. In the example below, the script calculates a simple value: current. The required parameters are voltage and resistance, and it returns the current.

This is how the agent can be used - GPT knows to ask for the parameters needed and converts the units automatically:

A script could take parameters of lat/long and call an API to get weather like temperature and humidity.

A script could take parameter serial number and call an API to get recent service calls or maintenance done.

Excel

Upload an excel file that can be "queried" for information, such as parts lists. This is more accurate than uploading a resource file that contains the same information because the query doesn't just find text matches.

Best Practices

• Do not use merged cells in the header row
