Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of ExSift, and I'm excited to share it with you today. This started from a real frustration. We were ingesting product catalogs from 10+ suppliers — and every single one had a different format. Some used "Name", others "Product Title", others "Full Name". Prices came in as "12,99 USD", "$12.99", and "12.99EUR". We were spending days each month just cleaning data before we could use it. We built ExSift around a simple idea: you should only have to describe your data once. Define a Scenario — your expected fields and structure — and ExSift will map any incoming file to it, no matter how it arrives. No scripts. No manual cleanup. Ever again. A couple of things I'm especially proud of that we haven't seen elsewhere: Semantic classification. Upload your own taxonomy — your category tree, your tag structure, whatever you use — and ExSift automatically infers the right classification for each record based on its name, description, or any other field. No manual tagging, no lookup tables to maintain. VLookup. Beyond just building relationships between sheets, ExSift can enrich incoming records by matching them against reference datasets — think auto-resolving supplier codes to internal IDs, or pulling in pricing tiers from a master list. Under the hood it's a hybrid: AI for understanding and classifying, deterministic rules for consistent and reliable output. Flexibility without unpredictability. I'd love to hear from you — especially if you're dealing with messy vendor data, fragile ETL scripts, manual category tagging, or supplier onboarding headaches. Happy to answer any questions below! 🙏

Why is "Standard CSV" never actually standard? 🙃

I ve spent the last few weeks staring at vendor files, and I m convinced that "CSV" stands for Constantly Slightly Variable.

I was trying to ingest a few product catalogs recently. One supplier sends prices as 12.99 USD, the next uses $12,99, and the third just puts 1299 and expects you to guess the decimals. I ended up spending more time writing "one-off" cleanup scripts than actually using the data.
