Spreadsheet Insights Explainer

Upload a spreadsheet; get a plain-language readout — what's in it, the headline numbers, and the patterns worth a look.

Build an agent that takes an uploaded spreadsheet — a sales export, survey results, usage logs, a budget sheet — and explains what's in it without you writing a single formula. It uses code interpreter to profile the columns (types, ranges, missing values), compute the summary statistics that fit each column, and surface the few notable patterns: a skewed distribution, an outlier cluster, a relationship worth a closer look. The output is a readout a non-analyst can act on, with the numbers behind every statement.

This is a single-tool analyze → plain-language readout pattern using markdown-header structure. Headers give a multi-step analysis a clean spine — Overview, Headline Findings, Caveats — so the agent profiles before it summarizes and summarizes before it editorializes. The defining discipline is describing what the data shows, not inventing why: the agent reports a correlation or an outlier and explicitly does not assert a cause. Edge cases cover schema mismatches, empty or huge files, and columns that aren't what their headers claim.

This pattern applies anywhere an uploaded table needs to become a readable story. Common scenarios for this pattern:

• Quick reads of an unfamiliar data export
• Survey and feedback result summaries
• Usage / telemetry log overviews
• Budget or spend sheet reviews
• Experiment-data first looks
