Shipped 2026-04-24 · AI A lot of lab data lives in spreadsheets — instrument exports, plate maps, parameter tables, sample manifests. Bird now reads them natively. Drop a CSV or Excel file into the chat, ask a question, and Bird answers using the data inside.

What’s new

  • Native spreadsheet parsing.csv, .xlsx, .tsv, multi-sheet workbooks. Bird reads the data, infers column types, and uses the values directly when answering.
  • Compare across files — drop several spreadsheets in and ask Bird to compare them. “Which run had the highest yield?” works without you pre-processing anything.
  • Pulls from notes too — Bird can cross-reference what’s in a spreadsheet against what’s in your notes, so “is this batch’s pH consistent with what I logged on Tuesday?” is a single question.

Try it

Open Bird Chat (or Live Mode). Drag a spreadsheet onto the input, or use the attach button. Then ask a question about the data. Example prompts:
  • “Which sample has the highest absorbance at 280 nm?”
  • “Compare these two runs. What’s different?”
  • “Which rows fall outside the expected range from my protocol?”
When the answer is better expressed visually, Bird draws a chart inline — see Inline charts.
