What it can help you do

Fix bugs in an existing project

Pi can read a local workspace, run commands and write files as part of a developer-controlled coding workflow.

Prepare: A local codebase and reproducible error
Get: Code changes or a diagnostic explanation
Your part: Inspect the diff and run the relevant tests

Analyze a spreadsheet and explain the results

In the recorded Agenlify run, Pi read a 12-row CSV and generated a Python calculation script and a reconciled report.

Prepare: A CSV file, column meanings and the question to answer
Get: A Markdown report and reproducible Python calculations
Your part: Check row selection and independently recompute key totals
