How to Connect to a Custom ChatGPT Bot and Exchange XLS Files?

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a project that involves creating a custom ChatGPT bot using OpenAI’s API. I’ve successfully trained the model with the specific data I need, and everything seems to be functioning well on the backend. However, I’m facing some challenges when it comes to connecting and deploying this bot so that it can be interacted with through a user-friendly interface.

Specifically, I would like to understand the following:

  1. I need to be able to send an XLS file to the bot, have it process the data, and then return an updated XLS file. What is the most efficient way to implement this functionality?
  2. Are there any common pitfalls or challenges I should be aware of when making the bot accessible to end-users, especially concerning scalability, performance, and file handling?

I would greatly appreciate any insights, resources, or examples from those who have experience with deploying custom ChatGPT models, especially when it comes to handling file exchanges. Thank you in advance for your help!

Best regards,
Peter

You wouldn’t be able to get an XLS returned from the API, so you’ll have to generate it on your own in the backend.
