Gridly welcomes GPT-4

It was only three months ago when the introduction of ChatGPT prompts started creating incredible AI-powered opportunities in Gridly, specifically prompts for the GPT 3.5 models.

Now, OpenAI’s younger yet more powerful offspring is here: GPT-4, equipped with many more parameters and trained on extensive data.

Check out the new automation, which empowers you to run prompts for OpenAI’s GPT-4 large language model directly within your content. Chat with GPT-4 is available as a paid add-on for all professional and enterprise users.

If you’ve already subscribed to GPT-4, all you need to do is bring over your OpenAI API key and you can start prompting right away in Gridly.

As easy as ABC: setting up access and rights for translators

Automation steps: Google and Amazon Loc Translate

Forget using machine translation for each individual language pair, (pre-)translate all your languages in one step. It’s never been easier with the new automation steps for Google and Amazon Translate.

Google Loc Translate and Amazon Loc Translate allow you to translate multiple languages at once by using these machine translation engines.

All you need to do is select your source language and pick the target ones you want to translate into. The automation step can do it all at once when a new record is added, an existing one updated, or you can trigger it manually for selected cells.

Grid Settings

Grids are the fundamental Gridly building blocks. To describe a Grid's purpose and help understand the context of intended use, you can now add additional information and metadata, or attach entire documents to any of them.

In settings, which are accessible from the side panel, you can also set the default status for new source language records in the Grid and see information about when was the Grid created, by whom, and when it was last updated.

Time-relative filtering

Want to review content updated in the previous week at your team's weekly meeting? Or automatically share strings with a DateTime set to tomorrow in your Slack channel to chase a due date? All this and more is now possible with updated filtering conditions.

You can use time-relative filtering to create views that are updated dynamically based on the selected timeframe. Moreover, you can use the IF action with time-relative conditions to determine which records your Automations should trigger on.

Custom LQA models

Log issues in a way that complies with your localization QA requirements. Create new types of issues, adjust criteria, or set the whole LQA model in a different language to support non-English-speaking testers.

You can create your own LQA model in Localization Settings with an easy-to-use template and assign it to desired projects.
