- Can Claude analyze CSV and XLSX files?
- Yes. Claude supports CSV, JSON, and XLSX uploads, but the workflow remains chat-based. Project files are capped at 30 MB per file, chat uploads are capped at 20 files, and total content still has to fit the context window. ParseBase is built around repeated file refreshes, charting, and client delivery after the analysis step.
- Does Claude have share links?
- Yes. Claude can share chat snapshots and publish artifacts. The difference is what those links are for: Claude links are snapshots or artifact links, while ParseBase share pages are reporting destinations with slide comments, viewer analytics, and per-viewer engagement tracking.
- Why not just use Claude plus PowerPoint?
- You can for one-off work. The cost shows up when new data arrives: you re-prompt, re-check the numbers, rebuild the presentation, and still have no analytics on the shared link. ParseBase keeps the workflow stable from upload to presentation to share analytics.
- Is Claude a privacy risk for client data?
- It depends on how you use it. Anthropic says commercial Claude products are not used for model training by default, but consumer Claude accounts can use chats to improve models if the user allows it. Anthropic also notes that shared artifacts can give viewers access to attachments and files from the source conversation. ParseBase keeps the reporting workflow in a product designed for client data, with row data never sent to AI.
