Bumping this up. There’s no way I’m the only one that followed the tutorial and is having this issue if it’s based on an issue with OpenAI. ---

You could try “ask a question” and feed a template column of data into your prompt ---

Have you added a payment method to your OpenAI account? ---

@Darren_Murphy i have heard this question a few times I think. I would be nice if glide would give an error message saying if the account didn’t have a credit card attached ---

OpenAI is not free to use. You have to add a payment method on your OpenAI account to use the API. Do you have a credit card on file for your OpenAI account? > **[Pricing](https://openai.com/pricing)** > > Simple and flexible. Only pay for what you use. ---

No I don’t have any but I am using the paid API. ---

If it’s a paid API and you don’t have a credit card on file, then how are you paying to use it? ---

You should ask your friend if they have a Credit Card on their OpenAI account. ---

let’s say for the sake of understanding if he has then the amount of tokens I use will be it be charged from the credit card ? I have given the table that has around 900 rows and 7 columns in the **Ask a question about a table** integration ? what will be the charging plan ? ---

I can’t answer that question. All I can say is that if the OpenAI account does not have a payment method added, then it will not work at all. ---
