PlainSight (plainsightai.app) today announced the general availability of its browser-based analytics app that reads a business's own spreadsheet the way a seasoned analyst would — surfacing the KPIs that matter, benchmarking them against the industry, and recommending the two or three moves worth making next — all in plain English.
Most owners are sitting on the answers; they're just buried in a spreadsheet. Reading them usually takes time, tools, and a comfort with data that running a business doesn't leave room for. PlainSight closes that gap: drop in a CSV or Excel export — a POS report, bookkeeping, a trade log, or a well's production history — and in seconds it returns a clear dashboard, industry benchmarks, and prioritized actions.
The design choice PlainSight is proudest of is privacy by architecture: a user's raw data is parsed and analyzed entirely in the browser and is never uploaded to or stored on a server. Optional AI features send only anonymized summary figures — never raw rows, names, or file contents.
PlainSight adapts to the data it's given. It runs a Revenue view for sales and invoices, an Operations view for oil & gas production (decline curves, EUR, per-well economics, and Baker Hughes basin context), and a Trading view that pairs raw broker fills into round-trip trades. Sample datasets span salons, restaurants, gyms, dental and law practices, e-commerce, trucking, oilfield services, and more.
“People don't need more dashboards — they need to know what their numbers are actually telling them, without handing their data to anyone. PlainSight gives a small-business owner the read they'd get from an analyst, in seconds, and it never leaves their browser.” — Christopher Taylor, founder of PlainSight
PlainSight is free to try: explore every industry on sample data, and free accounts include one upload of their own file with a full on-device dashboard and a saved report.

A one-time Report pack ($12.99) is available for occasional reporting without a subscription.
PlainSight (Insightful Actions) is a privacy-first analytics app that turns everyday spreadsheets and transaction exports into plain-language insights, industry benchmarks, and boardroom-ready reports, entirely in the browser.
