AI Gallery

Everything the AI can build, in one place

The 125 charts, maps, mini-apps, KPI cards and tables LLM AI Charts and Maps can build for you, in Power BI and in Excel. Describe what you want, or let it pick what fits your data.

Why a gallery? Can't AI just build me anything I want?

To some degree, yes, but not done well. Our approach adds guardrails that help get quality outcomes.

Every type here has a designed, tested way of drawing it. The AI only offers a type when your data fits it, and the code it writes is checked before you see the chart, so what you get is a chart that does its job.

An illustration of a 3D scatter plot

3D scatter plot

A rotatable cube in which every row is ONE point placed by three continuous measures on the x, y and z axes, with optional colour by category and size by a fourth measure. The depth is real: the reader turns the cube by dragging it, and nearer points are drawn larger and more opaque so the third axis still reads in a still image

Works best with: Three continuous measures whose joint structure is the question, on a tile large enough to turn. To read exact values off three or more measures, Pair plot (scatter matrix) and Parallel coordinates are both more precise

An illustration of a Binned bubble matrix

Binned bubble matrix

A grid of bubbles at the intersections of two BANDED axes — categorical/ordinal dimensions, or continuous variables binned into ordered ranges (e.g. income <30K / 30-50K / ...). Each cell holds ONE bubble whose size encodes an AGGREGATED measure (mean/sum/median) for the rows in that cell, and an optional independent color can encode a second measure; empty cells stay blank

Works best with: Two banded/categorical axes (or two continuous variables split into ranges) plus an aggregatable size measure per cell, with optional independent color. Choose this over a continuous Bubble chart when raw points would overplot into a blob, or when the axes are naturally grouped

Try it with Household Expense Breakdown

Linear gauge

A horizontal track with a filled portion showing a value against a stated maximum, the unfilled remainder making the ceiling visible - one track per value of a bound category, stacked on one shared scale with every row drawn or counted; the form that stays readable in a short, wide tile, and a value that is the same on every row is a valid reading

Works best with: A value against a ceiling the data states, overall or one track per category, in a short wide tile - percent complete, utilisation, progress to a target; a constant value is a valid reading

Progress ring

An arc sweeping a full circle to show a value as a fraction of a stated ceiling, with the percentage in the middle - one ring per value of a bound category, each against its own ceiling, every ring drawn or counted; the KPI form that survives a small square tile, and a value that is the same on every row (a rate that is always 100%) is a valid reading

Works best with: A value against a ceiling the data states, overall or one ring per category, in a small or square tile - percent complete, attainment, utilisation; a constant value is a valid reading

Rotating carousel

Rotating carousel: ONE sub-chart - a gauge, a line, a bar, a donut, a waffle or a radar - turning through a category's values on a 3D ring, the previous and next values peeking at each side

Works best with: Best when each category value deserves its own small chart and the tile has room for only one at a time; the reader turns it, or it turns itself

Thermometer

A vertical bounded tube filled from a bulb at the base, with the value at the fill head and a target mark across the track - one tube per value of a bound category, each against its own goal when the goal is a column, every tube drawn or counted; the bounded form that WANTS a tall narrow tile, and a value that is the same on every row is a valid reading

Works best with: A value against a ceiling the data states, overall or one tube per category, in a tall narrow tile - a sidebar rail or a column of KPIs down a page edge; a constant value is a valid reading

Interactive table

Interactive table: a table the reader works with - sort by any column, search the rows (from 10 rows: matches highlighted, or only the matching rows) and filter by column, drag column widths (a table wider than its tile scrolls sideways, with frozen columns and rows where asked), copy a cell or a block of cells out, show or hide columns, page through long lists, and open a hover window for the detail behind a short value, and it keeps each reader's sort, column widths and hidden columns; its cells print as numbers, dates, text, yes/no ticks, small images and links that open where the app allows (aligned and formatted, banded rows, a total when asked) and draw a mark only where a column asks for one: a data bar, a pin, a status chip, an icon, or one value printed with comparison bars against several others

Works best with: Any set of rows and columns that a reader wants to scan, sort and look into - an account list, a roster, a task or ticket list, a ledger, results with a status and a score; long lists a chart would crowd

Table with embedded

Table with embedded: a tabular layout where every cell DRAWS its value - small bars, dots, range marks or value cards - so you can scan down a column and see the outliers without reading numbers; one row per item (formerly Tabular with embedded)

Works best with: Best for a small set of items compared across several attributes at once (a forecast/roster/scorecard table)

Variance grid

Variance grid: an interactive table whose rows are the data's own structure (accounts, units, regions - one level or nested), with the ACTUAL, the BUDGET, PLAN or TARGET the data names, and the absolute and percentage variance drawn as bars and pins in aligned columns; subtotals per group, a footer total, sort, expand and collapse, a pager and a column picker

Works best with: One or more category columns plus two measures where one names itself the reference - Revenue and Revenue Budget, Cost and Cost Plan, Attained and Quota; a P&L, a budget review, plan attainment by unit; many rows or nested groups that a chart would crowd
