Until recently, the art of creating beautiful data visualizations was reserved for full-on computer programmers and data analysts.

This has changed with the new data analysis tools that are built in to the GPT-4 chat interface. You can now create maps and charts and integrate them into a PDF report — all from the main interface — without having to write a single line of code.

It all starts with the upload of a data file (for example, a CSV or XLS) and you prompt GPT-4 to do the rest.
