AI and Smart Data Tools

Small helpers for messy text and data. Most of these tools use local rules, word lists, or format checks that run in your browser. AI Data Mapper is the exception: it can send your data to OpenAI when you add your own API key.

Local by default where supported. AI Data Mapper can optionally use OpenAI with your own API key, and it shows when that mode is on.

  • Local by default: four of five tools make no API call with your input
  • Optional OpenAI mode: only in AI Data Mapper, only with your key
  • Free: no account needed

How To Use

Use AI Tools in four steps

Each tool has its own controls, but the basic workflow stays simple.

1

Choose a tool

Pick the ai tools tool that matches the job you want to finish.

2

Add your input

Paste text or choose a file when the tool supports files. The work starts in your browser.

3

Adjust settings

Use simple controls such as format, size, quality, validation, or output style.

4

Copy or download

Check the result, then copy it or download the finished file from your device.

Use Cases

Common ways people use this category

Everyday jobs these tools handle. Only the grouped CSV mapping example uses an external provider.

Detect an unknown string copied from a log.

Pull every email address out of a pasted support thread.

Get a quick positive or negative label for a short English review.

Convert comma-separated rows into a flat JSON array locally.

Group order rows into nested JSON with your own OpenAI key.

How Processing Works

Local by default, external only when you turn it on

Smart Detective, Edge Hub, AI Transformer, and Sentiment Analyst process your input in the browser without an API call. AI Data Mapper runs a local flat CSV mode until you enter an OpenAI API key. With a key, it sends your instructions and the full source text from your browser to OpenAI, and OpenAI's terms apply to that data.

  • No TryFormatter API used for processing
  • OpenAI mode needs your own key
  • No account required
Simple Guide

AI Tools Tools Explained

Short notes first, with deeper guidance below if you want more detail.

Choose the Right Tool

Start with Smart Detective when you do not know what a snippet is. It checks the text against patterns for JSON, XML, JWT, Base64, SQL, CSV, URLs, and similar formats, then suggests a tool to open next. Use AI Transformer when you already know the job: pulling emails or URLs out of text, turning a list or key-value lines into JSON, or turning simple CSV into a Markdown table. Use Sentiment Analyst for a quick positive, negative, or neutral label on English text, and AI Data Mapper to turn comma-separated rows into JSON.

What "Smart" Means Here

Most of these tools are rules-based. AI Transformer uses regular expressions and line splitting, Sentiment Analyst counts words from two fixed lists, and Smart Detective matches format patterns. They give the same result for the same input and they do not learn from what you paste. The only language model in the category is OpenAI gpt-4o, used by AI Data Mapper when you add your own key.

Local vs External Processing

Local processing means the work happens in the open page and no API is called with your input. External processing applies only to AI Data Mapper in OpenAI Mode. Typing a key into its key field switches that mode on, the status line shows the OpenAI engine, and the request goes directly from your browser to api.openai.com with your instructions and the full source text.

Practical details

01What Stays in Your Browser Storage

Local does not always mean nothing is saved. AI Transformer adds each result to a snippet history kept in IndexedDB on your device. AI Data Mapper keeps an entered API key in page memory only, so a reload clears it. Smart Detective and Edge Hub copy your input into localStorage when you click through to a suggested tool, so the next page can open with it.

Clear those entries from the history panel or clear site data for tryformatter.com when you are finished with sensitive input.

02Before You Use OpenAI Mode

Test with a few rows of made-up or non-sensitive data first. Every value in the source editor is sent, not just the headers. Use a restricted OpenAI project key with a spending limit, and revoke it when you no longer need it. How OpenAI stores or uses API data depends on OpenAI's policies and your account settings.

03Reviewing Output

Pattern tools are predictable but literal. A URL can keep a trailing comma, a list keeps its bullet markers, and a word-list sentiment label cannot see negation or sarcasm. Model output from OpenAI Mode can change between runs and is not checked for valid JSON. Compare a few source values with the result before you use it in code, imports, or reports.

Help & FAQ

Common Questions about AI Tools

Do these tools use AI models?

Only AI Data Mapper, and only when you add your own OpenAI API key. The other Intelligence tools use regular expressions, fixed word lists, or browser APIs.

Does any Intelligence tool send my data outside the browser?

AI Data Mapper does in OpenAI Mode: your mapping instructions and the full source text go directly from your browser to api.openai.com. The other tools process input in the page without an API call.

Do I need an account or API key?

No account is needed. An OpenAI API key is optional and only used by AI Data Mapper. Without it, that tool runs its local flat CSV mode.

Is anything saved in my browser?

AI Transformer adds results to a snippet history in IndexedDB, AI Data Mapper keeps an entered API key in page memory only, and Smart Detective and Edge Hub store your input in localStorage when you open a suggested tool.
