@libbyshussyes mate. I had all the data in Excel anyway so thought I'd give it a go and I really like it. I just used concatenate to create a text string and let the AI do its stuff. I used it as a draft and basically removed bits I didn't like and added a few extra bits as I read through adding pics.

Has anyone used chatAI to generate season reviews yet? I had been planning for a while but never got around to it. I've wasted most of the evening trying to automate (for the large part, anyway) input text using data I already have in the spreadsheet, and the text I am getting out of the software is not too bad. I think I will create a summary at the end of my current season, but imagine it will soon start to look very repetitive so might not stick with it.

I normally don't mind a defeat if we played ok, but this is a little frustrating
