    Hi folks. I've been doing some experiments on how LLMs could get more handy in the day to day of working with files (CSV, Parquet, etc). Earlier last year, I built https://datakit.page and evolved it over and over into an all in-browser experience with help of duckdb-wasm. Got loads of feedbacks and I think it turned into a good shape with being an adhoc local data studio, but I kept hearing two main things/issues: Why can't the AI also change cells in the file we give to it? Why can't we modify this grid ourselves? So besides the whole READ and text-to-SQL flows, what seemed…

    Hi HN, I've been tinkering/building AI applications that require interaction with spreadsheets (Excel / Google Sheets). Realized that LLMs don't work off-the-shelf when it comes to producing correct, reliable output for spreadsheets, regardless of how you wish to encode it (JSON, markdown, XML, etc.) After prompting, fine-tuning LLMs to work for my applications, decided to expose the functionality as an API to this community. Eager to see if it is helpful/of interest to others. Let me know if you need an invite.

    We tried to build an Excel error checker. To achieve that, we needed to actually understand the semantic structure of a spreadsheet first. So we built that, and it turned out to be the harder, more general problem. The core issue: most real-world spreadsheets aren't relational tables. Merged cells, multi-level headers, multiple tables per sheet, totals mixed in with data. You can't just dump them to CSV and call it done. LLMs handle the easy cases but fall apart on complex workbooks at scale. Our approach uses an agent-guided compilation pipeline that produces SQL-ready relational tables…
