AI for charts: Get AI-powered suggestions for the best chart type

Ever had a dataset that you needed to visualize but were unsure of how to begin or which chart type would best represent it? This is a common struggle for many. While it’s great to have a wide range of chart types to choose from, this variety can also pose a challenge to anyone who doesn’t have the time, experience, or resources, to select the right chart for their data.

To solve this problem, we’re introducing a new AI-powered feature that’ll analyze your data and suggest custom-made chart options for your specific data needs. This innovative AI chart suggestion feature ensures you always have the perfect chart type at your fingertips, maximizing the clarity and impact of your data insights. Now let’s explore what’s possible with Infogram’s AI for charts! 

How AI chart suggestions can help you

In many cases, people rely on their own understanding of data visualization best practices when visualizing data, which can be limited for those without extensive experience. This can lead to suboptimal chart choices, ultimately compromising on the clarity and effectiveness of the message the data is meant to convey. That’s where the AI-powered chart suggestions steps in to offer personalized options based on your data. Here’s how this innovative tool empowers you:

Personalized chart selection

With the AI chart suggester, you can finally ditch the guesswork. Simply upload your data, and the AI will instantly recommend the best chart types, eliminating the time-consuming search. Whether you’re wondering when to use a pie chart or when to use a bar chart, the AI analyzes your data structure and chooses the chart type that will most effectively communicate your message.

Unlock data insights securely

For users and companies concerned about data security, our AI-powered chart suggestion feature offers peace of mind. We use an advanced sampling technique, analyzing only a small subset of your uploaded data to generate chart recommendations. This ensures the vast majority of your information remains private, while the AI still provides valuable insights to make your data visualization process more efficient.

Discover hidden gems

There’s no need to settle for “good enough” charts. The AI chart suggester analyzes your data and displays various compatible chart types. This lets you choose the visualization that truly makes your data pop. Perhaps a spider chart reveals hidden correlations your initial bar chart choice might have missed. The AI empowers you to explore different visualization options and select the one that best unlocks the story within your data.

Showcase textual data 

Do you have data with text elements? No problem! The AI for charts recognizes the need for separate visualizations and suggests options like word clouds, ensuring all your data gets the spotlight it deserves. Text data often gets lost in traditional charts. That’s why the AI suggests alternative visualizations specifically designed to showcase textual information, providing a more comprehensive understanding of your data set.

Focus on insights

With the AI chart suggester, there’s no need to grapple with properly displaying your data within a chart. Instead, you can focus on what truly matters – extracting valuable insights from your data. The AI chart suggester streamlines the process, allowing you to spend more time crafting a compelling data story. With the technical aspects handled by the AI, you can dedicate your energy to interpreting your data, identifying trends, and crafting a narrative that resonates with your audience.
