Paste a spreadsheet or table and ask AI to find trends, outliers and totals, or to write the formula you need. It's like having an analyst on call.
Ready-to-use prompt
I work as an atmospheric / space scientist. Part of my job is to interpret data, reports, maps, photographs, or charts to predict long- or short-range weather conditions, using computer models and knowledge of climate theory, physics, and mathematics. Context: We use Wolfram Research Mathematica and SAS; the work draws on geography, physics and mathematics. Study or test: [what was measured and why] Results: [paste de-identified data or summary] Explain what the results show, how confident we can be, possible confounders, and what to report or follow up. Say where expert judgment is needed.
