Automate the repetitive work spreadsheets are used for

Sanifu automates the repetitive work spreadsheets are used for. Teams across finance, marketing, operations, and revenue simply describe their repetitive work like cleaning and validating data, matching records, preparing reports and moving data from emails, PDFs and Excel exports into dashboards and other systems. Sanifu captures the steps, rules and outputs so the work is repeated reliably every time Some of these work never needed spreadsheets to begin with; the likes of data cleanup, bank reconciliations, report consolidation, payment allocations, channel attributions. Spreadsheets have become the standard workbench for handling these tasks and in the process, teams lose valuable time doing manual data entry, filling templates, formatting data, applying formulas, deleting rows or columns. Sanifu is replacing the spreadsheet while maintaining the logic and processes behind the work, getting you from inputs to your desired outputs in seconds. This significantly reduces time spent on copy-paste work, spreadsheet cleanup, and manual entries and checking, while improving accuracy, consistency, and operational visibility. Sanifu helps teams scale critical back-office processes without relying on brittle spreadsheets, scripts, or general AI tools that reinvent the logic every run. Sanifu is a full operational platform with 5k+ app integrations, 1k+ native functions, forms, scheduler, data stores, dashboards, approvals, reviews, AI-powered entity matching among many other features that make it an end-to-end data app management platform

See original launch post

Sanifu automates the repetitive work spreadsheets are used for. Teams across finance, revenue, and operations simply describe their repetitive work like cleaning and validating data, matching records and moving data across systems. Sanifu captures the steps, rules and outputs and runs it automatically and reliably every time.

This significantly reduces time spent on copy-paste work, spreadsheet cleanup, and manual entries and checking, while improving accuracy, consistency, and operational visibility. Sanifu helps teams scale critical back-office processes without relying on brittle spreadsheets, scripts, or general AI tools that reinvent the logic every run.

The problem

Analysts and teams in finance, revenue, and operations spend a huge part of their day doing manual data work. Cleaning data, preparing reports, moving things across systems, tracking work. It's repetitive, boring, and takes time away from the parts of their job that actually matter. The same work gets done repeatedly because their data is scattered across systems, emails, PDFs, and files. Only a few people know the rules and exceptions. When they leave, the process breaks.

Existing tools don't solve the whole problem. Spreadsheets, macros, and scripts are brittle and hard to maintain. General AI tools can help, but they reinvent the logic on every run, so outputs need constant checking and can't be trusted for critical workflows.

How Sanifu solves this

Anyone can turn their manual data work into an autonomous data app—just by describing it.

1.⁠ ⁠You describe the process.

In plain English, you walk Sanifu through what you do. It asks the right questions, handles edge cases, understands your rules, and works with your real data (files, emails, systems) to define the full workflow.

2.⁠ ⁠Sanifu runs it with you.

It executes the process end-to-end, showing real-time progress and outputs. You review results, make changes, and refine the workflow until it matches exactly what you expect.

3.⁠ ⁠It becomes a reliable operations platform.

Once approved, Sanifu saves the entire process and turns it into a data app. All future runs replay the exact steps whereby the same input plus same context equals same output. It’s more than a workflow tool: built-in data stores, dashboards, forms, integrations, scheduled and event triggers as well as audit trails.

Sanifu is a full operational platform with 5k+ app integrations, 1k+ native components, forms, scheduler, data stores, dashboards, approvals, reviews, AI-powered entity matching among many  other features that make it an end-to-end data app management platform.

Some of the fastest growing teams in various industries are already using Sanifu to save their team’s hundreds of hours per day of manual data handling.
