When you copy a table from the chat, it often loses its structure, merging columns and breaking rows when you try to paste it into Excel or a spreadsheet.</p> <p>To save myself the manual cleanup time, I built a simple web tool called AI Table Cleaner.</p> <p>It’s pretty straightforward:</p> <ul> <li>You paste the messy text from the AI.</li> <li>The tool reorganizes it into a clean table structure.</li> <li>You can export it directly to Excel, CSV, SQL, or JSON.</li> </ul> <p>If you find yourself fighting with AI table formatting, feel free to give it a try:<br> <a href="https://aitablecleaner.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aitablecleaner.com</a></p> <p>I'm happy to be part of the Dev.to community and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have.</p> <p>Cheers!</p> webdev ai productivity showdev
