Chat & AI
Getting charts and diagrams in chat
Ask a question that is better answered visually and a live chart or diagram renders inside the conversation.
Step 1
Just ask
Say "chart our monthly usage" or "show this as a flow diagram". The AI decides when a visual beats text. There is nothing to turn on.

Step 2
It renders live in the chat
The result is a Visualization card inside the reply, not a picture: a chart or diagram you can interact with. It reads Rendering visualization for a moment while it draws.
Step 3
Zoom and pan
The minus and plus in the card header zoom from 25 to 400 percent, and the number between them resets. Ctrl or Cmd and scroll, or a pinch, zooms too. Once zoomed, a hint appears under the chart and you scroll to pan.
Step 4
Put it in an email or a deck
Copy image copies the chart as a picture, ready to paste into email, Word or Slides. Copy HTML copies the source instead, for a web page.
Step 5
Download or save
Download saves it as an .html file that opens in any browser. Save keeps it in your library; the button then turns into a green tick with View, which opens the saved copy. The chart data itself is not exported as a spreadsheet; ask for the figures as a table if you need them.
Step 6
Change it by chatting
Ask for a different chart type, other colours or another period and the AI draws it again. For charts inside a Word or PowerPoint file, see Generating a document in chat.
