I am working on a tool that lets you create data visualizations with prompts.

When I was in college I really hated searching through all the excel and google docs menus to add trendline, change colors, gridlines, etc (and sadly I didn't have the agency to learn matplotlib or seaborn). I figure others might hate this too, and it would be so cool to have csv + prompt -> exportable svg chart

This is interesting I thought ChatGPT had a data analysis tool that did this natively in the app. Is there something to distinguish it? Full disclosure haven’t used that feature to much, but saw some demo

This is a good call... o3 does plot data but its somewhat limited on the design side, as it just generates matplotlib code for a pretty generic looking plot. So the differentiator would be more granular design. Although now that you're showing me, it is fairly solid so you might have just caused a pivot lol. Thanks in any case.
