- What they did
- The commenter works in automation at a large organization and had a massive CSV dump of data. They used Claude to turn it into a dashboard showing trends over time. The comment gives no detail on prompts, tools, or how much review they did.
- How it went
- They got a working trends dashboard, though the source gives no numbers or quality details. The comment is mainly an aside in an argument about chatbot interfaces, not a walkthrough.
Try it yourself with Claude
I'm attaching a large CSV export from [system or process, e.g. our ticketing tool]. Explore it, then build me a single-file interactive HTML dashboard showing trends over time for [key metrics, e.g. volume, error rate, turnaround time], with filters for [dimensions like team or category]. Finish by listing any data quality problems you found and the assumptions you made, so I can check them.
