Use CSV files with ChatGPT and Claude
Clean, merge, filter and convert CSV files on your computer by asking ChatGPT or Claude.
Works on
- MacWorks
- WindowsWorks
- LinuxWorks
Try asking
“Merge every CSV in Downloads/exports into one file and drop duplicate rows”
“Which product had the most orders in sales.csv?”
“Convert orders.csv to Excel with the dates as real dates”
How it works
BCD reads CSV files as tables, so the AI can filter, total and rewrite them, or save the result as a new CSV or Excel file. Large files are read in parts.
Limits
- Very large files (hundreds of MB) are read in chunks, so whole-file answers take longer.
Questions
Do I need CSV files installed?
No extra software.
Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Mac: works, Windows: works, Linux: works.
Which AI apps can do this?
ChatGPT (BCD is in its plugin directory), Claude (as a custom connector) and other apps that support MCP connectors, including Codex. They all use the same computer with the same permissions.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only. Writing files, running commands and controlling apps are turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
