The Csv Output component is designed to convert structured data into a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format. It is particularly useful in AI workflows where processed data or results need to be exported, shared, or stored in a widely compatible and human-readable format.

What the Component Does

This component takes input data—typically a list of records or objects—and transforms it into a CSV file. This file can be easily downloaded, shared, or integrated with other tools that support CSV format. The component is especially handy for summarizing results, exporting datasets, or preparing data for downstream processes that require CSV input.

Inputs

• trace_as_metadata: When enabled, traces data as metadata for easier debugging or tracking.
• list: The input expects a list (array) as the data format.
• Display Name: Data
• Info: Data to be turned to CSV.

Outputs

• The output is marked as a Message, which typically wraps the CSV file data for further use in your workflow.
• The output is hidden from direct display but can be used by downstream components.

Why Use This Component?

• Data Export: Seamlessly export AI-generated or processed data into CSV format for reporting, analysis, or sharing.
• Interoperability: CSV is a widely accepted format, making it easy to integrate with spreadsheets, databases, and various data tools.
• Automation: Automate the transformation of workflow results into a ready-to-use CSV file, reducing manual effort and errors.

Typical Use Cases

• Exporting prediction results from a machine learning model.
• Converting processed data into a report-ready format.
• Sharing structured output with non-technical users or other systems.
