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
