# run-openai-model

## Description

The <mark style="color:purple;">`run-openai-model`</mark> adaptor uses [OpenAI Chat Completions](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/text-generation) to create a model response for a given chat message.

Note that this adaptor can be used to create a single response for one chat message only. If you would like to create a response for each value in a datatable column, use the [<mark style="color:purple;">`transform-columns`</mark>](/data-flo/reference-guide/transform-columns.md) adaptor. If the values are in a list, you can use the [<mark style="color:purple;">`convert-list-to-datatable`</mark>](/data-flo/reference-guide/convert-list-to-datatable.md) adaptor to convert the list to a datatable before running the model.
