Beyond AI Chat Alone
Scheduled Reporting + Read-Only AI
AI chats answer once and forget. Datapipe saves report settings, refreshes on a schedule into your destinations, and lets ChatGPT or Claude read only the project reports you authorize.
Why Datapipe & Features
One workspace for scheduled reporting, team access, and safe AI.
Prompting ChatGPT or Claude alone does not refresh your spreadsheets, isolate client data, or protect your credentials. See why teams choose Datapipe—and everything included in one place.
Live data by default · Unlimited projects · Zero password sharing

Why Datapipe
Built for recurring reporting, not one-off prompts
Four reasons teams move from ad-hoc AI chats, spreadsheets, and custom scripts to Datapipe.
Privacy by Default
Live Data Without Forced Storage
New projects process and deliver report rows without saving them in Datapipe. Enable 90-day Saved history for free or add Data Vault only on projects where you want retention.
Zero Password Sharing
Isolated Projects & Scoped Roles
Connect data sources once centrally. Give teammates, clients, and contractors exact project roles, Google sign-in domain rules, and automatic access end dates without sharing keys.
Safe Controls
Controlled Source Changes & Managed Sources
Reporting stays read-only by default; supported source updates are gated by role and optional approval with full before/after history. Meanwhile, Datapipe maintains OAuth tokens, health checks, and field schemas.

Questions before you start
Questions about choosing Datapipe
How Datapipe compares to AI chat tools, manual exports, and legacy alternatives.
Why not just upload CSVs or use connectors inside ChatGPT or Claude?
Chat interfaces are great for ad-hoc questions, not recurring reporting. Datapipe saves report settings once, refreshes on a schedule, delivers to Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Excel, Power BI, or BigQuery, and lets you grant ChatGPT or Claude read-only access scoped to a single project.
Does Datapipe store all of my report data?
No. New projects use Live data by default: Datapipe processes and delivers report rows without saving them. You can enable 90-day Saved history for free or add Data Vault per project when you want longer retention.
How does team access compare to sharing logins or spreadsheets?
Instead of sharing API keys or provider passwords, an admin connects data sources centrally and assigns teammates or external collaborators to specific projects with clear role tiers, Google sign-in domain rules, and automatic contractor end dates.
Can Datapipe or an assistant change my store or CRM data by mistake?
No. Reporting data sources are read-only by default. On supported sources, the owner, admin, or project manager must explicitly allow specific changes, and optional approval holds changes until reviewed.
