This add-on helps teachers generate personalized, standards-based report card comments using AI. It supports Google Gemini, OpenAI, and DeepSeek. Below are detailed steps to set up your API key and use the tool effectively.

⚠️ Note: Some AI providers require payment or a billing setup to use their APIs. This add-on does not provide or resell API keys — you must obtain and manage your own.

1. How to Get an API Key

Google Gemini (via Google AI Studio):

Go to Google AI Studio.

Sign in with a personal Google account (not all school accounts work).

Click "Get API Key" and create a project if prompted.

Copy the API key provided and keep it safe.

⚠️ If you're using a Google for Education account, your school IT admin may need to enable access to Google AI Studio and allow Gemini APIs.

OpenAI (ChatGPT API):

Go to https://platform.openai.com/signup and create an account.

Once logged in, visit API Keys page.

Click "Create new secret key", name it, and copy the key.

⚠️ A ChatGPT Plus subscription does not include API access. The API is a separate service that requires setting up billing in the OpenAI Platform. New users typically receive $5 in free credits, valid for 3 months.

DeepSeek:

Go to https://platform.deepseek.com and log in or create an account.

In your dashboard, go to the API Keys section.

Click "Generate New API Key", name it, and copy it.

⚠️ DeepSeek may also require billing details or usage limits — check their dashboard for terms.

2. Launch the Sidebar

In your Google Sheet, click on the "AI Report Cards Comment Generator" menu.

Click "Open Sidebar".

3. Configure Your Inputs

Select your AI provider and paste the API key.

Click "Select Range" buttons to pick:

Headers Range: The row with column names (e.g., "Student Name", "Standard 1 Grade").

Data Range: The student data (below the headers).

Set your desired maximum character limit (default is 500).

4. Choose a Prompt Type

Guided Prompt: Fill in structured fields like class name, standards, and grading methods.

Custom Prompt: Write your own AI prompt manually if you prefer full control.

5. Preview and Generate

Click "Preview and Generate".

Review the generated prompt and click OK to confirm.

The AI will create comments and write them to the target column, with a backup in the next column.

6. Other Menu Options

The AI Report Cards Comment Generator is a Google Sheets add-on developed to help educators generate standards-based report card comments using third-party AI providers.

1. Information We Collect

This add-on does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from users. It operates entirely within the active Google Sheet session and processes data locally between the spreadsheet and the AI API you choose to connect to.

2. Use of API Keys

API keys for OpenAI, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek are entered by the user and used only during that session. The add-on does not store, log, or transmit API keys to any external server. The user is fully responsible for managing and protecting their API key.

3. Third-Party AI Services

This add-on sends selected spreadsheet data to a third-party AI provider (OpenAI, Google Gemini, or DeepSeek) based on your selection. You are responsible for understanding and accepting the privacy policy and data handling practices of the AI provider you choose.

Please refer to their respective policies:

OpenAI Privacy Policy

Google Privacy Policy (Gemini)

DeepSeek Privacy Policy

4. Data Ownership

You retain full ownership of your data. This add-on does not access any files or information outside of the sheet you are actively working in. All student data processed is temporary and never stored by this add-on.

5. Data Security

Since the add-on does not store any data or communicate with a developer-controlled server, the responsibility for secure use lies fully with the user. You are expected to follow your institution’s guidelines for student data privacy and ensure no sensitive or confidential information is shared with AI services.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted publicly, and it is your responsibility to review the policy periodically.
