Blobby can automatically suggest and configure visualizations based on your query results, including charts, KPIs, and tables. To learn about building queries with AI, refer to Building queries & filters with AI.

​
Requirements

This feature requires enabling the Query assistant setting in AI settings.

​
Getting started

After running a query, you can generate a visualization in one of two ways:
  • Prompt Blobby directly: In the query helper, describe the visualization you want (e.g., “Show this as a bar chart” or “Create a table with conditional formatting”).
  • Use auto-suggest: Click the (wand) icon in the Chart Selector section of the Chart Options panel. This opens the query helper and generates a visualization suggestion based on the best type for your data.
Auto-generate visualization option in the Chart Selector section of the Chart Options panel Once Blobby generates a visualization, you can use the chat to refine it further. For example, you can ask Blobby to change the chart type, adjust colors, or modify formatting.

​
Supported visualization types

Blobby can create and configure the following visualization types:
  • Charts: Bar, line, area, pie, scatterplot, heatmap, sankey, and other chart types
  • KPIs: Single-value metrics with formatting and comparison values
  • Tables: Data tables with formatting, conditional styling, and display options
