Narration: preview voiceA SaaS team writes an opening line for each account. The names and companies are example data.

The short answer

In a table, click Add column and choose Use AI. Keep Flexible mode, pick a model and read its cost a row. Under Prompt, open Templates and choose one, such as Opening line: your columns drop in as chips, and you replace the bracketed text. Then Save and run 10 rows, open a finished cell to read the answer, and run the rest once it reads well.

Step by step

  1. 1Add the columnClick Add column, then Use AI under Enrich (from 1 credit a row). The Use AI panel opens.
  2. 2Mode and modelKeep Analysis Mode on Flexible. Pick a model; the line under it shows about how many credits a row.
  3. 3PromptOpen Templates next to Prompt and pick Lead fit, Company summary or Opening line. Your columns drop in as chips; replace the [bracketed] text. Type / to insert another column.
  4. 4Run 10 rowsOpen Save and choose Save and run 10 rows. Cells show Processing, then Process Complete.
  5. 5Read the answersClick a finished cell to open Cell details and read what the AI returned.
  6. 6Run the restUse the ▶ on the column header to run the remaining rows.

Try it in Duckrow

About five minutes, in your own workspace.

  1. Open a table with names and companies.
  2. Add a Use AI column and pick the Opening line template.
  3. Replace the bracketed text, then Save and run 10 rows.
  4. Open three finished cells and read the lines.

You're done when ten rows have an opening line you'd be happy to send.

Check what stuck

Three quick questions. Nothing is saved.

  1. 1. Why run 10 rows before the whole table?

  2. 2. How do you put a column's value into the prompt?

  3. 3. The panel says about 2 credits a row. What will a row cost?

Transcript

0:00A first line for every lead

Writing a good first line for every lead takes hours. A Use AI column writes one for each row, from your own columns.

0:10Add a Use AI column

Click add column. Under Enrich, Use AI shows its price: from one credit a row. Choose it, and the Use AI panel opens.

0:20Mode and model

Keep Flexible mode, which answers whatever your prompt asks. The model is GPT four o mini, and the panel says about two credits a row. That's an estimate: each row is charged what it really uses.

0:35Start from a template

Next to Prompt, open templates and pick opening line. The prompt fills in, with your name, title, company and website columns as chips. Replace the bracketed text with what you sell. To add another column, type a slash.

0:53Run 10 rows first

Open save, and choose save and run ten rows. The cells show processing, then process complete. Click one to read the opening line it wrote.

1:04Then the rest

Read a few. If they sound right, run the rest of the table. Each table has one Use AI column, and it's named Correlation.

1:14Recap

To recap. Add column, Use AI, and read the cost a row. Start from a template, and type a slash to add columns. Run ten rows, read them, then run the rest. Next, AI answers you can filter.
