Show HN: Agentic Data Analysis with Claude Code
rubenflamshep Tuesday, March 10, 2026Hey HN, as a former data analyst, I’ve been tooling around trying to get agents to do my old job. The result is this system that gets you maybe 80% of the way there. I think this is a good data point for what the current frontier models are capable of and where they are still lacking (in this case — hypothesis generation and general data intuition).
Some initial learnings: - Generating web app-based reports goes much better if there are explicit templates/pre-defined components for the model to use. - Claude can “heal” broken charts if you give it access to chart images and run a separate QA loop.
Would either feedback from the community or to hear from others that have tried similar things!
Summary
This article explores the use of Claude, an AI-powered code analysis tool, to enhance data analysis processes. It discusses how Claude's capabilities can enable more agile and efficient data-driven decision-making by providing insights and automating tedious tasks.
