FAQs

AI Chart Maker FAQs

An AI chart maker reads your spreadsheet and builds charts from it for you. The InstaCharts AI chart maker analyzes your column names, data types and a sample of your rows, then suggests 3 charts, each with a chart type, title, subtitle and caption written for your data.

Check "Generate AI charts" in the import dialog when you upload a spreadsheet, and InstaCharts builds 3 charts as soon as the upload finishes and opens the first one. For a sheet you already uploaded, click Recommended in the left sidebar and choose Generate 3 Recommendations, then add any suggestion to your sheet with one click.

The AI examines your column names and data types to decide which chart types fit your data, such as a line chart for values over time or a bar chart for comparing categories. It also writes a data summary and insights that call out outliers and data quality issues it noticed, so you can see the reasoning behind each recommendation.

Yes. Type into the Additional instructions box before you generate to give the AI extra context, for example "Focus on trends over time", "Compare revenue across product categories" or "Only show me stacked bar charts". Clear instructions make the recommendations more relevant to what you want to show.

Yes. AI is optional in InstaCharts.

Your data is only sent for AI processing when you choose to generate AI recommendations.

Yes. Every AI chart is a regular InstaCharts chart. Change the chart type, X and Y axes, colors, labels and titles, apply one of 10 chart themes, add filters and annotations, or limit the chart to the top items. You can also make several charts from the same file to explore your data from different angles.

The AI chart generator works with CSV, Excel, TSV, PSV, JSON, JSON Lines and log files, plus Google Sheets and Google Drive files. InstaCharts detects numbers, currencies and dates automatically, so the AI starts from correctly typed columns.

Yes. Every InstaCharts dashboard has an AI prompt bar. Describe what you want, for example "design a dashboard for me" or "add a table of orders", and AI adds the matching widgets and filters. It can also edit widgets already on the dashboard. Each dashboard request uses 1 AI credit.

Yes. Export AI charts as PNG, SVG, JPG, WebP, PDF and PowerPoint files, share them with a public link, or copy the embed code into WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace or any HTML page to show an interactive chart on your website.
