ChatGPT's biggest shortcoming? It can't process Excel row by row

We kept running into the same issue: ChatGPT is great, but when it comes to generating a new column based on each row of a spreadsheet , it just doesn’t cut it.

So we built an internal tool that could. It started as a way for our team to clean scraped data, extract key information, enrich datasets with context , tasks that took hours manually. We tried Excel/Gsheet add-ins, but they’d often break midway or take too long to run row by row. Now, with just a few inputs , your file and a task description, the tool gives you a preview, and then processes the full file in seconds.

It handles everything from cleaning messy text, summarizing long content, extracting keywords, and generating contextual data for each row, anything that needs to run row by row.

We’ve used it daily for months, and it’s been a game-changer for working with messy or large datasets. We're finally opening it up for public use.

Use this until ChatGPT has it built-in :)
