About Charrette AI Room

Good tools are only useful when you know what to do with them. Charrette AI Room explores AI tools, digital workflows and design through clear explanations and practical examples.

What you’ll find here

  • AI tools and automation: how tools work, where they help and what their limits mean for a real task.
  • Better ways to work: reusable briefs, templates and small changes you can try in your own workflow.
  • Design and digital life: useful ideas behind the products, interfaces and trends shaping everyday work.

The starting point is a reader’s question: what is confusing, what needs fixing, or what would make a task easier? A popular tool or headline is a lead to investigate. The article needs to offer something you can use.

About the author

I’m JH-A, the writer behind Charrette AI Room. I’m interested in how technical ideas become useful in ordinary work. Here, I turn that curiosity into guides, comparisons and worked examples.

Reading the examples

Articles link to sources where they help you check a claim or follow a method. A constructed demonstration shows one example; it does not prove how a tool performs in every setting. When a result comes from a test, the setup and its limits matter.

Features and interfaces can change. Check the article date and the linked documentation before relying on a particular setting or procedure.

How to Clean Messy Excel and CSV Data With AI Without Breaking Your Totals

Image
A cleanup that strips currency symbols and adds everything into one column cannot tell you whether it was right. On a 60-row vendor file I tested on November 15, 2026, that shortcut reported 21,748,113.34 as a single total. The file's real USD total is 51,464.59. The working method separates USD from KRW into two columns. It parses dates with an explicit format list, removes duplicates by invoice number, and compares a checksum against the untouched source. Key Takeaways A currency-blind cleanup reported 21,748,113.34 for a file whose real USD total is 51,464.59, an overstatement of 21,696,648.75. Comparing whole rows as text removed 0 of the 4 duplicate rows. Keying on invoice number removed all four and cut USD by 238.75 and KRW by 2,480,000. One date format read 19 of 60 rows. A three-format parser read 58 and rejected the 2 impossible dates instead of guessing them. DATEVALUE() read only 25 of the 58 valid dates in a Korean-locale sheet, so 33 rows would have vani...

REA for AI Agents: What It Can Prove About an App

Image
REA, short for Reverse Engineer Anything , gives an AI agent tools to inspect software and collect evidence about how it works. It can help answer a concrete question, such as where an export file is created or which function handles a button. The useful part is being able to check the answer. A confident explanation alone leaves you guessing whether the agent found something in the app or filled a gap. For this article, we created a tiny JavaScript example and inspected it with REA. The tool found the file connection, reported no parsing failures, and still left a return value unresolved. That combination is a useful lesson in reading AI analysis. Key Takeaways REA connects an AI agent to software inspection tools. The agent turns their results into an explanation. Start with one feature and a specific question. A complete static scan can still contain unknown values. Keep code ...

TrendRadar AI: Start With a Smaller News Brief

Image
If keeping up with your industry means checking the same sites each morning, TrendRadar can gather and filter their headlines into a report. Start with a few RSS feeds and clear keyword rules, then add AI features when you know what you want them to do. sansan0’s TrendRadar is an open-source news and trend monitor. This article covers that project, including a small test of its English keyword matcher. The useful first goal is a brief you would actually read: relevant sources, a manageable topic and links worth opening. Key Takeaways TrendRadar combines trending lists and your chosen RSS feeds, with optional AI filtering, translation and analysis. Plain keywords match parts of words. In our small test, AI also matched rail and training . The starter rules below use whole-word matches and one exclusion. They were checked with nine invented English headlines. Collection, AI analysis and notification delivery need separate setup. Our trial tested the keyword module, rather t...
