About Jolene.pro
Jolene.pro is a web app for asking questions of Excel workbooks and CSV files in plain English. You upload the file, type a question such as "Which region grew fastest last quarter?", and get back a written answer and a chart. The product is aimed at the numbers that actually drive decisions in most teams - headcount files, pipeline trackers, budget workbooks and campaign reports - which tend to live in spreadsheets rather than in clean documents. Those files get messy over time, with nine tabs, merged headers, dates stored as text and totals that were hardcoded years ago, and getting an answer out of them usually means filtering, writing VLOOKUPs and double-checking rows by hand. Then next month the file comes back with one more column and the work starts again.
What sets Jolene.pro apart is its emphasis on showing its work. The site positions it between rigid reporting tools, which can break when someone renames a column or adds a tab, and general-purpose AI, which will attempt almost any question even when the honest reply would be that it is not sure. Every answer keeps a trail back to the workbook: which tabs and ranges were read, how many rows were used, and the exact steps behind each number. Those steps are saved, so the same analysis can be re-run on next month's file instead of being rebuilt. Usage is metered in credits, and new accounts start free with 2,000 credits every month with no payment required.
The workflow is four steps, described on the homepage as needing no IT project.
First, you upload the real file. Jolene.pro accepts Excel workbooks with multiple tabs as well as CSV files, and it locates the tables inside them, including cases where several separate tables sit side by side on the same sheet.
Second, you ask in plain English. The chat returns a written answer together with a chart. If you have several files loaded, you can scope a question to one of them by typing @ and the file name, much as you would ask a colleague who knows that spreadsheet.
Third, you compose a dashboard. Charts that matter can be pinned into a simple drag-and-drop layout built from rows and columns, using a widget library of the charts you have already created. The layout can be rearranged whenever the story changes.
Fourth, you publish and share. Jolene.pro generates a read-only snapshot link that colleagues can open without logging in. The snapshot is frozen at the moment you share it, so everyone sees the same numbers even if the underlying file changes later.
At any point you can click a chart to follow the trail from the chart back through the calculation steps and the ranges used to the original uploaded file.
- •
Multi-sheet workbook ingestion - Jolene.pro reads Excel workbooks with several tabs and CSV files, and detects the individual tables within each sheet, even when more than one table sits on the same sheet as separate islands. This matters for real operational files, which rarely hold one tidy table per tab, and it saves the manual step of splitting a workbook up before analysis.
- •
Plain-English questions with charts - Questions are typed into a chat and answered with both a written response and a chart. A question can be pointed at a specific file using @, which keeps answers focused when several workbooks are loaded. The homepage example compares quarterly revenue by region and returns the fastest-growing region with its percentage change.
- •
Source-cited answers - Every answer shows where it came from. Clicking a chart reveals the trail: the uploaded file (which stays yours and remains downloadable), which tabs and ranges were used and how many rows were read, the exact calculation steps, and the chart drawn directly from those rows. The stated goal is that every number can be traced back to the file and checked before it is shared with a team or clients.
- •
Reusable analysis steps - Jolene.pro learns a workbook once and saves the steps behind each answer so they run the same way next time. When next month's version of the file arrives, the same analysis can be replayed rather than rebuilt from scratch, which targets the recurring monthly reporting cycle the product is built around.
- •
Drag-and-drop dashboards - Charts can be collected into a dashboard composed of rows and columns. Widgets are dragged from a library into columns or placed with a click, and the board can be rearranged or cleared at any time without design help.
- •
Read-only snapshot sharing - Finished dashboards can be shared through a read-only link that requires no login for viewers. Links are snapshots frozen at the time of sharing, which suits a weekly or Friday update where everyone needs to look at the same fixed numbers.
Jolene.pro is built for people whose decisions depend on spreadsheets and who want to check the numbers rather than take an answer on trust. Finance and operations staff who rebuild the same quarterly or monthly analysis from a fresh export can save the steps once and re-run them on the next file. Sales teams working from pipeline trackers can ask which regions or campaigns moved without writing lookups across tabs.
People and HR teams with headcount files can ask questions such as exits by team and turn the answers into charts for a leadership update. Marketing teams can do the same with campaign reports, comparing pipeline by campaign and pinning the results to a dashboard.
Managers and team leads who need to circulate a consistent set of figures will find the snapshot links useful, since viewers do not need an account and the numbers stay fixed at the moment of sharing. Consultants and analysts who prepare figures for clients benefit from the source trail, which shows the tabs, rows and steps behind each number so the work can be reviewed before it goes out.
The product is centred on uploaded Excel and CSV files rather than on building a reporting stack. Because it starts free with a monthly credit allowance and no payment details, it is easy to try on a workbook you are already working on.
