Upload the raw CSV and the analysis starts itself. DataWhisperer reads every row and hands you a Brief in seconds — the headline finding your analyst would lead with, the numbers behind it, and suggested next questions. No prompting, no formulas, no cleanup. From there you ask follow-ups in plain English, and every claim is backed by a number computed from your file.
Step 1 — Upload the raw export
Don't clean the file first. A good tool detects column names and data types automatically and tells you how solid the data is before you quote it. DataWhisperer accepts CSV, TSV, TXT, and Excel (.xlsx/.xls) exports from tools like Shopify, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Stripe, or your bank — up to 60 MB on most plans and 120 MB on Max. The moment the upload lands, the analysis starts on its own — there's no blank prompt to stare at.
Step 2 — Read your Brief (it arrives on its own)
You don't ask for the first analysis — it happens automatically. Seconds after upload, the Brief lands: the one-sentence headline your analyst would lead with, the exact figures behind it, a data-quality check on the file, and suggested next questions to go deeper. This is the core difference from a chatbot — the tool tells you what matters in the file before you've typed a word.
Step 3 — Ask follow-ups and check the receipts
Now dig into the why in plain English: "which region dragged down Q4?", "which product had the highest margin?", "are refunds concentrated in one channel?". Each answer is computed from every row, never predicted. Before you quote a number, check its receipt — the exact figures behind the claim — and on Max, the Python code that produced them. That's the step chatbots can't offer, because there's nothing to check.
FAQ
Can I try AI CSV analysis for free? Yes. Enter your email to explore DataWhisperer's full live sample with no account or card. The Free plan gives you Briefs and Asks on your own spreadsheet — 5 uses a month, no card. When you need more, Pro ($29/month) and Max ($59/month) start with a 7-day free trial: you add a card to start but aren't charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then.
Is my CSV safe? Is it used to train AI? Your file stays in your account. It is never sold and never used to train public AI models, and you can export or permanently delete everything at any time.
Do I need to know Python or SQL? No. You ask in plain English and get the answer in plain English. The Python that appears on the Max plan is a receipt you can show people, not something you write.
