Starting price is $300 USD/month. Your final proposal depends on workbook types, volume, cleanup rules, integrations, review controls and ongoing support.
What is an AI spreadsheet cleanup agent?
An AI spreadsheet cleanup agent prepares inconsistent workbooks for reliable analysis and operations. It can standardize approved formats, identify duplicate rows, separate headers from data, flag blanks and inconsistent values, and document proposed changes before a cleaned version is produced. Tranki configures the workflow around your column definitions, business rules and tolerance for automated edits.
What it can clean
Normalize spreadsheet structure
Identify headers, data regions, merged cells, repeated labels and inconsistent column layouts within approved workbooks.
Standardize values
Apply agreed formats for dates, names, categories, identifiers, numbers and whitespace without changing the underlying meaning.
Find data quality issues
Flag duplicates, blanks, invalid formats, conflicting values, outliers and cells that need a human decision.
Document every proposed change
Produce a change summary and exception list so reviewers can compare the source with the cleaned output.
Where it can help
Operational reporting workbooks
Prepare recurring spreadsheets from multiple teams for consistent reporting and downstream analysis.
Customer and supplier lists
Standardize contact, account and vendor data while keeping uncertain duplicates or missing fields visible.
Spreadsheet handoffs
Clean files received from partners, branches or internal teams before importing them into a shared system.
How it works
A step-by-step workflow your team can review before launch.
Define the clean-data contract
Agree on the approved columns, formats, required fields, duplicate rules and changes that always need review.
Inspect the workbook
The agent identifies sheets, data regions, patterns, formulas, hidden structure and potential quality issues.
Propose and apply safe changes
It normalizes values within scope, preserves source context and holds ambiguous changes for a reviewer.
Deliver the clean output
Reviewers compare the change report and exceptions before the cleaned workbook is exported or loaded elsewhere.
Built around your business
What we configure
- Workbook types, sheets, column definitions, locale formats, category dictionaries and accepted value patterns.
- Rules for duplicates, blank handling, formulas, merged cells, hidden columns, tabs and protected content.
- Confidence thresholds, approval requirements, change reports, rollback copies and exception queues.
- Exports and connections to spreadsheets, storage, data warehouses, CRMs or operational systems.
What we need from you
- Representative workbooks showing normal layouts, common errors and difficult edge cases.
- A definition of the desired structure, accepted formats and fields that must never be changed automatically.
- An approved destination and retention policy for original files, cleaned outputs and change reports.
- Named reviewers responsible for confirming exceptions and maintaining cleanup rules.
Clear boundaries before launch
What it will not do
The agent does not silently overwrite originals, invent missing values, change formulas or infer business meaning outside the agreed rules. It does not guarantee that a cleaned sheet is correct for a financial, legal, regulatory or operational decision; appropriate owners must review high-impact changes. Sensitive workbook access, retention and sharing must follow your controls.
How success is measured
Measure valid-row rate, normalization coverage, duplicate and exception precision, reviewer correction rate, processing time, manual cleanup avoided and the percentage of outputs accepted without rework.
Frequently asked questions
What spreadsheet formats can it handle?
It can be configured for approved spreadsheet files and structured exports, depending on the workbook features, formulas, size and destination workflow in scope.
Will it change the original workbook?
The recommended workflow preserves the original and produces a cleaned copy with a change report. Any overwrite or in-place update requires explicit authorization.
Can it remove duplicates?
It can identify likely duplicates using your rules and prepare a review queue. Automatic deletion or merging should be limited to cases with clear authorization.
How does it handle blank cells?
It can distinguish expected blanks from missing required values using your field rules, but it does not invent replacement data.
Can it preserve formulas and formatting?
Preservation depends on the workbook and the agreed scope. We test formulas, formatting, merged cells and protected areas before automating changes.
Can it connect to our data system?
Yes, an approved export or integration can be included after reviewing permissions, destination fields, validation and review requirements.
What does the $300 USD/month starting price include?
It is a starting point for a tailored solution. Final pricing depends on workbook complexity, volume, cleanup rules, integrations, review controls, hosting and support.
