Cleaning Data with Generative AI
DataCamp
Last updated June 30, 2026
A guided, hands-on project that puts prompting skills to work on one of data analysis's least glamorous but most important tasks: cleaning a messy dataset. Working through a chatbot designed to coach you, you use generative AI to identify and resolve the common problems that make data unusable — duplicate records, null values, and inconsistent formatting — and you sharpen prompt-engineering technique along the way so your AI-driven interactions produce consistent, reliable results. It is framed for people relatively new to data analytics who have wrestled with datasets that aren't ready for analysis. You can sample the opening part before subscribing; completing the project and earning the Statement of Accomplishment are part of DataCamp Premium.
What you'll learn
- Using generative AI to clean a messy dataset
- Identifying and resolving duplicate records
- Filtering and handling null values
- Fixing inconsistent formatting
- Sharpening prompt-engineering technique for reliable results

Why we suggest this course
A focused, do-it-now project on a task every analyst faces — turning a messy dataset into one you can actually analyze — using generative AI and deliberate prompting rather than manual slog. Practicing on real problems (duplicates, nulls, inconsistent formats) makes the prompting skills stick because they are tied to a concrete result. One thing to know: it is a short, single-topic project rather than a full course, best as targeted practice once you know your way around a dataset.
