Brain and Super Agents can write and execute code in a secure environment to analyze your data, generate charts, and return computed results. Instead of estimating or summarizing, they run real calculations against your files and Workspace data.
This capability is available to both Brain and Super Agents.

This feature isn't available on HIPAA-compliant Workspaces.
What can Brain and Super Agents do?
When you upload a file or ask a question that requires computation, Brain or a Super Agent automatically writes and runs Python or bash code in a sandboxed environment. You don't need to write any code yourself.
They can:
- Parse a CSV and calculate averages, totals, or trends
- Generate charts and visualizations from your data
- Clean, deduplicate, or transform a spreadsheet
- Convert files between formats
- Cross-reference uploaded data against your Workspace tasks
- Build an HTML report or presentation from raw data
Data analysis use cases
Below are some popular use cases for data analysis:
| Use case | Description |
| Analyze a sales export | Upload a CSV of deals and ask Brain to group by region, calculate average deal size, or identify your top-performing reps. Brain returns exact numbers computed from the file, not estimates. |
| Clean and deduplicate a contact list | Ask Brain to remove duplicate emails, flag rows with missing phone numbers, and sort by date. Brain outputs a cleaned CSV you can download immediately. |
| Visualize sprint velocity | Ask Brain to chart your team's completed story points over the last 6 sprints. Brain generates a chart image or interactive HTML file attached to the conversation. |
| Reconcile external data against your Workspace | Upload a spreadsheet of invoices or deals and ask Brain to compare it against tasks in a specific List. Brain identifies matches and gaps, with exact counts. |
| Summarize a PDF or document | Attach a contract, report, or spec and ask Brain to extract key terms, deadlines, or action items. |
Supported file types
Brain and Super Agents can process files you attach directly to your conversation. The sandbox environment supports PDFs, spreadsheets (CSV, XLS, XLSX), images (JPG, PNG, GIF), and plain text files.

How it works
To use code execution:
- Ask a question or upload a file in any Brain conversation, or send it to a Super Agent.
- Brain or the Super Agent decides whether code execution is needed to answer accurately.
- The code runs in a secure sandbox with no internet access.
- Results appear directly in the conversation. Generated files, such as charts, cleaned CSVs, and reports, are attached as downloadable outputs.
Brain and Super Agents determine when to use code execution automatically. You don't need to request it.
Key details
- No Super Credits consumed. Running code doesn't use additional credits beyond the normal interaction.
- Secure and isolated. Code runs in a sandboxed environment with no network access. Your data stays in the secure environment during processing.
- Files persist within a conversation. Brain and Super Agents can build on previous results in the same conversation. Ask to modify a file already generated, and it picks up where it left off.
- Files reset between conversations. A new conversation starts with a clean environment. Previously generated files remain available as attachments on the original conversation.
Tips
- Attach your file directly in the message for best results.
- Be specific about what you want calculated or how you want data grouped.
- For large files, Brain and Super Agents process the full dataset without truncation.
- Ask for a chart if you want a visual summary instead of a table.
