Curator vs. Excel
Excel makes you speak formula.
Curator speaks plain English.
Excel is the workhorse everyone knows, and for hand-built spreadsheets it's hard to beat. But when you just want an answer from a file, you shouldn't have to reach for VLOOKUP or a pivot table — you should just ask. Curator turns a plain-English question into the analysis and gives you the answer, with the exact Python beside it so you can still verify how it got there.
Asking a question, not building a spreadsheet
Both work with your data. Only one writes (and shows) the analysis for you.
