Storyline
An AI analyst that turns a giant dataset into a short, written narrative with the supporting interactive charts embedded inline.
Executives, investors and journalists who want the 'so what' of a large dataset without opening a BI tool themselves
- Plain-English prompt to upload a CSV or connect a warehouse table and ask a question
- Auto-generated 3-5 paragraph brief highlighting the most important movements and outliers
- Inline interactive charts that load from the same dataset, not screenshots, so the reader can drill in
- One-click export to PDF or Notion for sharing in a board pack or newsletter
GPU-accelerated plotting now makes it cheap to ship a browser-based reader experience even for huge datasets, opening room for a 'briefing' product on top of the raw viz layer.
