From Spreadsheet to First Results

Getting AI to do real analysis on a structured dataset without writing code yourself. Upload a data file, ask the AI to describe and clean it, and produce first results — summary statistics, cross-tabs, and simple charts, all in plain English. You learn to frame a clear analytic question, give the AI the right context, and read what comes back critically.
