DataOrangutan

Anyone who repeats the same spreadsheet cleanup every week, and can show what the finished result should look like, is the person DataOrangutan is built for.

DataOrangutan is an AI spreadsheet tool that automates spreadsheet workflows by learning from examples you provide.

Instead of writing formulas or scripts, you hand it sample spreadsheets that demonstrate the job, and it works out the processing steps from them.

The aim is less manual data processing in routine, repetitive work.

The catch is that the examples carry everything.

DataOrangutan needs example spreadsheets before it can do anything, and how well it performs depends on how good those examples are.

Sloppy or inconsistent samples will lead to sloppy results, so expect to spend some time preparing them.

It also may not suit highly complex or unique workflows, where a pattern learned from a few files could fall short.

Think of it as a fit for predictable, repeatable tasks in research and data analysis or general office work.
