Charts and Visualizations in Chat

Analytics Chat doesn’t just return numbers—it returns interactive visualizations that you can manipulate, copy, and embed. This page covers how charts work inside chat: when they appear, what you can do with them, and how to ask for new ones.

When Charts Appear

Aliveo decides whether a chart is useful based on the question and the result:

  • Multi-row tables, time series, and comparisons usually get a chart automatically.
  • Single-value answers (“Total spend last week was $42,310.”) come back as plain text.
  • Wide tables come back as a table by default with a Generate chart action you can click.

You can always ask explicitly for a visualization—“plot CTR by week for the top 5 campaigns,” “give me a bar chart of CAC by market.”

Click-to-Chart

Even if a result came back as a table, you can ask Aliveo to generate a chart from that table with one click:

  1. Locate the Generate chart button on the table card.
  2. Aliveo picks a sensible chart type, encodes the axes, and renders the result inline.
  3. A small loading state with rotating helpful messages keeps you informed if the chart takes a few seconds to render.

You can iterate: ask for a different chart type (“make that a stacked bar instead”), a different encoding (“color by funnel stage”), or a different scale (“log-scale the y-axis”).

Interactive Plotly Charts

Aliveo renders charts using Plotly, so every chart is interactive:

  • Zoom — draw a rectangle to zoom in.
  • Pan — drag to move the view.
  • Autoscale / reset — double-click or use the toolbar.
  • Toggle series — click a legend entry to hide or isolate a series.
  • Download PNG — save a static image directly from the chart toolbar.
  • Copy to clipboard — copy the chart as an image to paste into Slack, Notion, Docs, etc.

The chart toolbar appears on hover; the same tools work for line, bar, scatter, area, and combo charts.

The Generated Charts Dialog

For deeper exploration, the Generated Charts dialog gives you a grid of every chart Aliveo has produced in the conversation so far:

  1. Open the chart dialog from the chat toolbar.
  2. Browse charts as cards—each shows a title, the source question, and a thumbnail.
  3. Open a chart to its full interactive view, copy it, or download it.
  4. Charts persist with the chat, so you can return to them in a future session.

Sharing & Exporting

You have a few options for getting charts out of Aliveo and into your team’s workflow:

  • Copy as image — click the copy button on the chart toolbar; paste anywhere that accepts images.
  • Download PNG — saves the current view (including any zoom/filter you’ve applied).
  • Share the chat — sharing the entire conversation gives teammates access to every chart in it, fully interactive. See Managing Chats.
  • Export the underlying table — every chart has a corresponding data table you can export to Google Sheets or CSV from the table card.

Asking for the Right Chart

Aliveo picks reasonable defaults, but you can steer:

You want Try saying
Different chart type “Make that a line chart” or “Stacked bar instead”
Different axis “Put weeks on the x-axis”
Different breakdown “Color by funnel stage” / “Split by market”
Truncate the long tail “Only show the top 10 campaigns”
Compare two metrics “Plot CTR and CPA on the same chart with a secondary y-axis”
Add a benchmark “Add a horizontal line at our $3.00 CPA target”

Be explicit—Aliveo will regenerate the chart and validate the result before showing it.

  • Starting a New Chat — set up scope so charts are calculated over the right accounts and dates.
  • Managing Chats — rename, share, and delete chats (including all their charts).
