Turning records into pages

1 · Give your AI the data

A CSV, a spreadsheet or a database export.

2 · Paste this prompt

Here is a starter prompt. How well it works depends on how your AI is set up, so adjust it to fit yours.

Sample prompt

Read [the CSV / spreadsheet / export] at [path]. For every row, write one self-contained HTML page in [folder], named after [the record's name or ID]. Each page should lead with the name and the two or three things I most need to know, then the rest of the fields laid out so they are readable rather than crammed into a table. Then write an index page at the top of that folder listing every record with a one-line summary and a relative link, grouped by [segment / region / status]. Link related records to each other where the data connects them. Use the colors from my Showspace, keep every page self-contained with no external files, and make them read on a phone as well as a desktop. Before you start, tell me how many records there are and show me one finished page so I can check the layout before you write the rest.

Change the parts in brackets.

3 · Approve the sample page

Your AI shows you one finished page first. Get the layout right on that one, then let it write the rest.

Finding your records

Folders. Group records by region, status or account manager. Click a folder in the sidebar to see its pages.
Search. Finds a record by its title or by words in the first 250,000 characters of its page’s text, on pages downloaded to this Mac. See Finding a page.
Gallery View. Shows a thumbnail of every page, handy for records with photos. See Gallery View.
Links. Your AI links related records, so a customer’s page leads to their orders.

Good to know

A Showspace shows up to 2,000 pages. For bigger lists, make one page per customer rather than one per order, keep only active records, or split the list across several Showspaces.
When the data changes, export it again and ask your AI to update the pages. For data that changes often, see Keeping a page current.
To share your records, share the folder through your drive. See Opening a Showspace someone shared with you.
To rename or remove a record, see Renaming, moving and deleting.
