The workflow, in plain English
Before: You find a 200-row procurement table on a government site. You select it, copy, paste into Sheets, clean up merged cells, then build a chart. 15 minutes.
After: Dassi reads the table, infers column types, and injects sort buttons on every column header, a filter bar above the table, and a chart rendered directly below it. You say “chart this by month” and a bar chart materializes. You say “highlight rows over $10k” and they turn red. The table became your analysis tool. You never opened a spreadsheet.
Why traditional tools can’t: Zapier can’t see HTML tables. RPA can copy them but can’t add interactive UI. Static extensions hard-code support for specific sites.
Step-by-step
- Open the page that contains the table you care about.
- Ask dassi to “make this table interactive” and specify what you want (filters, sorting, chart).
- Refine: groupings, thresholds, and formatting (e.g., highlight outliers).
- Copy the summarized results or keep the dashboard in-page while you work.
Example prompts to try
- “Add filters for Vendor and Amount, then show totals by month.”
- “Highlight rows over $10k and chart spend by department.”
- “Normalize dates and give me a quick anomaly scan.”
Tips for better results
- Be specific about what you want injected into the page (buttons, filters, a panel, a summary, etc.).
- If the page has multiple sections, tell dassi exactly what to focus on (e.g., “the transactions table” or “the diff for file X”).
- Prefer safe workflows first: draft, summarize, label, and prepare — then take actions (submit, purchase) only after review.
