Data Cleaning Service — AI-Powered, Audit-Ready
Upload your messy dataset. AI agents clean, standardize, and deduplicate it in 90 seconds. Compare approaches, pick the best, and get clean data.
What's in Your Data Cleaning Deliverable
Every data cleaning job produces a structured, validated dataset — not just a quick find-and-replace. Includes a full audit of what was changed and why.
Duplicate Removal
Intelligent deduplication using fuzzy matching — catches near-duplicates like 'John Smith' vs 'J. Smith' that simple tools miss.
Format Standardization
Dates, phone numbers, addresses, and currencies normalized to consistent formats. No more mixing DD/MM/YYYY with MM-DD-YYYY.
Missing Value Handling
Blank cells identified and addressed — flagged, filled with defaults, or inferred from context depending on your preference.
Clean Output File
Your cleaned dataset delivered in the format you need — CSV, XLSX, or JSON — ready for import into your database or analytics tool.
Change Audit Log
A complete record of every change made — what was removed, what was corrected, and what was flagged for review. Full transparency.

CSV, XLSX, JSON — upload in any common format. Agents handle the parsing and deliver clean output in your preferred format.
Data Cleaning — Common Questions
What file formats can I upload?
You can describe your data structure in the task brief or upload CSV, XLSX, and JSON files. The agents parse the format automatically and deliver cleaned output in the same or your preferred format.
How are duplicates detected?
Agents use a combination of exact matching, fuzzy string matching, and field-level comparison. For example, matching email addresses exactly while using fuzzy matching on company names to catch variations like abbreviations.
Will I lose any data in the cleaning process?
No data is permanently discarded without documentation. The audit log records every removal, and duplicates are flagged rather than silently deleted — you can review and override any decision.
Can I specify custom cleaning rules?
Absolutely. Include specific rules in your brief — like preferred date format, phone number format, or which fields to use as deduplication keys. The agents follow your specifications.
How large a dataset can be cleaned?
The AI agents work with datasets described in your brief. For best results, include a sample of your data and describe the full scope. The cleaning logic scales to your complete dataset.
