Totsum

Local AI data explorer on your own machine

About Totsum

Totsum Data Explorer is a desktop app that gives files a first look with an AI that runs entirely on the user's machine. It opens CSV, Excel, JSON and Parquet files in place, answers plain-language questions with explanations, charts, row previews and the generated SQL, and produces a follow-up report that a human reviewer validates and signs. No account, sync or telemetry is involved.
