Clean Up a Messy Spreadsheet, in Any App
For the export that arrives a mess. Open it in Excel, Numbers or Sheets and ask. Where there's a web version, DuckyHelper uses the API it learned; in a desktop app with no web side, it works right in the window with its own cursor while you keep using yours.
“Clean up this sheet: make the dates one format, split full names into first and last, and remove duplicates.”
- 01Look at the sheet you have openExcel, Numbers or Sheets.

Nothing to send, so it runs straight through.
Nothing in this job sends a message or pays for anything, so it works through to the end and tells you when it's done. If a step ever would, it's built to stop and ask you first.
If it hits a sign-in, you sign in yourself. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers.
Before you ask it.
What do I say?
Press fn (Ctrl+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux) and ask out loud, in your own words, like "Clean up this sheet: make the dates one format, split full names into first and last, and remove duplicates."
What if an app has no website?
It sees the screen and works in that window with its own cursor, while you keep using yours.
Will it send anything without me?
It's built to ask first before it sends a message or pays for anything, and to wait for your yes. It may not recognize every send or payment, so keep an eye on tasks that involve messages or money. It's built not to type your passwords or card numbers: you sign in yourself, and it picks up from there.
Why not just do it by hand?
Messy data means dates in three formats, names in one column and duplicates everywhere, fixed cell by cell.
Can I use this today?
