LLM in Data Visualization: How AI is Shaping the Future of Analytics | by Chengzhi Zhao | January, 2025
From raw data to stunning visuals: LLMs in action
A few weeks ago, I wrote an article about How to Build an AI Agent for Data Analytics Without Writing SQL. The blog shows the power of LLM and AI agents. It's amazing to see that LLM understands the query with such precision, and with the editing program provided, it is able to compose an executable SQL statement that produces the desired result. Can we extend it to an LLM in Data Visualization?
In many cases, data analysis goes beyond textual summaries of findings; especially in Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), data visualization is important. I will expand on the scope of AI Agent capabilities in this blog post. In addition to its ability to generate SQL, I will improve its ability to generate data visualization code in a seamless and structured way and return a chart as the final result.
