Why this one

Group inconsistent names and fix repeated data problems in batches. Useful when a CSV has several spellings for the same city, company or product.

Try this first

Import a copy of a CSV, facet one text column and inspect suggested clusters. Merge only the values you know belong together, then export a new file.

How it helps your AI

Give an assistant a cleaned table and a record of your transformations instead of asking it to guess which rows mean the same thing.
