# PROMPT

Allows you to call the default model from a cell formula.

## Inputs

<ParamField body="instructions" type="string" required>
  Your prompt - the instructions for the model to follow.

  Can be a string, a cell reference, or a range of cells.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="cells" type="cell reference(s)">
  One or more cell references or ranges as context for your prompt (e.g., A1, B2:C3, D4).

  You can provide multiple separate cell references that will all be included as context.
</ParamField>

<ResponseField name="response" type="string">
  The model's response as plain text.
</ResponseField>

<Note>
  Temperature is configured via the ribbon UI. Use the Temperature dropdown in the Model section. This can be either:

  * A number between 0.0 and 1.0
  * A preset string:
    * `"Consistent"` (0.0) - Deterministic output, same result each time
    * `"Neutral"` (0.3) - Balanced between consistency and variety
    * `"Creative"` (0.7) - More varied and creative outputs

  Lower values (closer to 0) produce consistent, deterministic responses. Higher values (closer to 1) produce more varied, creative responses.
</Note>
