Introduction

42 Rows is an advanced AI-powered spreadsheet tool designed to automate complex processes and amplify the capabilities of existing AI models. Our platform allows you to run thousands of prompts automatically based on your template, enabling AI to execute long and intricate tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming.

With 42 Rows, users can either upload a CSV file or create a table directly on our website. Once the table is set up, you can write a prompt and choose an AI model to generate text, create images, or analyze images. The tool then executes these tasks for every row in the table, streamlining your workflow and saving valuable time.
