Beware, the feature in OP isn't something that people would have found useful, it's not like chatgpt assigned to OP's business a request from a user in some latent consumer-provider space, as if chatgpt were some kind of market maker connecting consumers with products, like a google with organic content or ads, or linkedin or producthunt.

No, what actually happened is that OP developed a type of chatgpt integration, and a shitty one at that, chatgpt could have just directed the user to the site and told them to upload that image to OP's site. But it felt it needed to do something with the image, so it did.

There's no new value add here, at least yet, maybe if users started requesting changes to the sheet I guess, not what's going on.

This doesn’t seem likely. The utility is pretty obvious.

What image? Did you think the first image shown is what is being entered into ChatGPT? It’s not. That’s what the site expects to be uploaded to them. There’s no indication that the ChatGPT users are scanning tabs. ChatGPT is producing ASCII tabs, but we aren’t shown what input it is in response to.
