LIDA is a Microsoft tool that uses large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT and GPT-4 to automatically generate data visualizations and infographics. It helps you quickly explore datasets and turn them into clear charts, diagrams, and visual narratives.
Automated data analysis and visualization
LIDA interprets the meaning of your data, proposes relevant visualization goals, and generates chart specifications. You provide the dataset and describe what you need in natural language, and the system suggests suitable ways to visualize the results.
Flexible for different stacks
LIDA is designed to work with any programming language and any visualization grammar, making it practical for developers, analysts, and researchers.
- Open source on GitHub
- Can be deployed locally to use your own data without sending it to third-party services
Who it’s for
LIDA is useful for data scientists, BI analysts, researchers, and developers who need fast, solid visualizations and dashboard prototypes.
- Speed up reports, presentations, and analytics deliverables
- Lower the barrier to getting from raw data to usable visuals
