Turn insights into charts and graphs

Transform information from your documents into clear, visual charts and graphs using AI Assistant in PDF Spaces. Instead of scanning tables or long reports, you can quickly visualize trends, comparisons, and patterns. You can:

  • Create charts and graphs from data mentioned across one or more documents
  • Compare values, categories, or trends visually
  • Summarize complex information into easy‑to‑understand visuals you can reference or share

Try these prompts

Use natural language in the AI Assistant chat, for example:

  • “Create a bar chart comparing quarterly revenue mentioned in these documents.”
  • “Generate a pie chart showing issue categories across the uploaded reports.”
  • “Visualize year‑over‑year trends from this data.”
  • “Create a line chart highlighting changes over time.”
Tip

If the result isn’t quite right, follow up in chat to refine the chart. For example, you can ask the assistant to change the chart type or focus on a specific data range.
