The problem it solves

You need to convert CSV data into JSON for another system, but doing it by hand for every file is slow and error-prone. When a conversion fails, you often don't find out until something downstream breaks.

Who it fits

Teams and developers who regularly move data between systems in different formats.

How it works

  1. A CSV file or raw CSV text is submitted through a web endpoint
  2. The system detects whether it's a file upload or plain text
  3. The CSV data is converted into JSON format
  4. The converted data is returned immediately
  5. If the conversion fails, an alert with details is posted to Slack
What you get

Files converted without anyone touching a script

You submit a CSV and get clean JSON back instantly, with your team alerted in Slack if anything goes wrong.

What you get

Converted JSON data ready to use, plus an instant Slack alert if a conversion fails.

What you need

A Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
