One of 181 tools in Business Intelligence
Who it's for
- Data journalists who need responsive, annotated visualizations to publish in articles, newsletters, or a CMS.
- Researchers who want to turn tables and statistics into visual stories for a wider audience.
- Analysts and organizational teams that want to combine their own data with open datasets and publish charts or custom data products.
How it fits your workflow
Bring in data by uploading a file, using linked data, or browsing the Open Data Catalog. The catalog includes datasets from sources such as the OECD, WHO, and Eurostat.
Choose a table and chart, or ask AI to suggest chart types, identify interesting angles, or draft a story grounded in the available data. Refine captions, annotations, sources, methodology, and colors.
Publish the result as a standalone link, embed it on a website using a responsive iframe, or export it as a high-quality image.
