Flatfile

AI data preparation and migration platform for teams

Visit Flatfile

Flatfile is an AI-powered data migration and preparation platform that helps teams extract, prepare, map, transform, and validate incoming data before it reaches their systems. It addresses the problem of onboarding messy, unstructured, or inconsistent files from customers and other sources, replacing manual field mapping and spreadsheet-based cleanup with automated workflows.

Core capabilities include Smart Extractor for parsing varied file types, an AI mapping engine that aligns incoming data to a target schema, Validation Rules for real-time error checking, AutoFix for correcting formatting issues, and AI Transform for applying edits via natural language prompts. Workbooks provide a collaborative, spreadsheet-like interface with relational features such as auto-linked records, rollups, cross-sheet validation, and nested records. The platform supports file ingestion via uploads, APIs, webhooks, databases, and cloud storage, and offers a configuration agent, a plugin library, custom actions, and an MCP server for extensibility. Security features include SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification, GDPR and CCPA compliance, HIPAA readiness, encryption, SSO, MFA, and role-based access controls.

Flatfile is aimed at enterprise teams involved in data onboarding, implementation, and migration, including both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The pages describe demos as the entry point rather than published pricing or packaging details.
