The problem it solves

Turning a spreadsheet of numbers into a chart people can actually read means switching tools, picking a chart type, and formatting it by hand. If you do this for reports or client updates, it adds up fast. This lets you upload the file, say what you want, and get a finished chart back without leaving Slack.

Who it fits

Teams or managers who regularly turn spreadsheet data into charts for reports or presentations.

How it works

  1. You upload a spreadsheet or share a link in Slack, along with what chart you want
  2. The data is extracted and cleaned up automatically
  3. AI decides on the best chart type and shape for your data
  4. The chart image is generated and uploaded to Google Drive
  5. A link to the finished chart is sent back to you in Slack
What you get

Finished charts ready before the meeting starts

You upload a spreadsheet in Slack, describe the chart you want, and get back a shareable image ready for your report.

What you get

A shareable chart image, delivered in Slack and saved to Google Drive.

What you need

A Slack workspace, an OpenAI API key, and a Google Drive account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
