# AI Table Generator

{% hint style="info" %}
We don’t store any of your prompts, images, or text, nor do we use any of your data to train our language models. As this feature uses GPT, your prompts and images *will be* sent to the OpenAI GPT API. The OpenAI’s API service doesn’t use your data to train its models, unlike some versions of ChatGPT. To learn more, visit [OpenAI’s Privacy page](https://openai.com/enterprise-privacy) (section ‘API Platform FAQ’).
{% endhint %}

Our AI can generate LaTeX tables from natural language prompts or an image you upload. You can try this for free. For higher daily use, upgrade to a Standard or Pro plan.

{% step %}
**Click 'Generate'**

Overleaf AI then automatically generates the LaTeX code for your table.
