Docs
Everything you need to start forging data.
Getting Started
Upload a CSV, describe your transformation in plain English, and download the result. No SQL, no scripting — just describe what you want.
The Tabs
- Inspect — file overview, column schema, and instant actions. Format columns, remove duplicates, fill missing values and remove missing rows are all free. Run AI data inspection writes a data quality report (3 credits).
- Data — the full table, 40 rows per page. Use the paging icons at the bottom-right of the table to move through the rest.
- AI Query — the transformation itself. Describe it in plain English; the cost is shown before anything runs.
- Result — before/after preview, change summary and chart, plus download, code preview, revert and chain-to-next-run actions.
- Sessions — every transformation you've run. See Sessions & Retention below.
Plans & Row Limits
- Free — 100,000 row limit, 15 credits / day
- Pro — 500,000 row limit, 1,000 credits / month (upon launch)
Credits
You always see the cost before a run. Only the AI work is charged:
- 2 credits per AI Query transformation.
- 3 credits for an AI data inspection report.
- 2 credits per Insight Brief — the first one is free on Free.
Everything else is free: format columns, remove duplicates, fill or remove missing rows, semicolon-separated → CSV conversion, paging, previews, and browsing your sessions.
Downloads & Exports
In the Result tab, the Download menu offers three formats:
- Report PDF Pro — the full report as PDF: filter criteria, result table, and AI insights.
- .csv file — the transformed data, ready to re-upload anywhere.
- .md file Pro — the report as Markdown.
Insight Brief
Create Insight Brief turns a result into a short AI-written narrative — data checks, highlights and the chart takeaway — and exports it as a PDF. The first brief is included on Free; after that a brief costs 2 credits on Pro. Pro can also keep it as a Markdown file.
Sessions & Retention
The Sessions tab lists every transformation you've run, each with the time remaining before it expires. Click a session to reopen it, or use Select → Delete to clear several at once.
- Free and trial sessions — kept for 24 hours
- Pro — kept for 30 days
Deleting a session, or letting its countdown reach zero, locks it. The row greys out with a Deleted or Expired badge and reopens read-only — downloads and re-running are disabled, and hovering a disabled button tells you why.
Supported Files
.csv files, UTF-8 encoded, with the first row as headers. Semicolon-separated files are auto-detected and can be converted for free.
Reports Pro
Every transformation on the Pro plan generates a Markdown report — documenting exactly what changed, row by row, so your data prep is auditable and reproducible.
