About the Book
AI for Data Visualisation is a practical guide on using large language models (LLMs) to explore, transform and visualise your data.
It shows how you can use simple prompts to:
- analyse data (summary counts, filtering, visual exploration)
- create charts such as zoomable treemaps, small multiples, maps and simple dashboards
- get chart recommendations given some data
- transform data (filtering, derived columns, pivoting, cleaning and format conversion)
In many cases ChatGPT is used to produce Python code and this books shows how to run the code locally and keep your data private.
This book is not a full tutorial, rather a collection of examples that provide ideas and inspiration for how you can use LLMs to enhance your data visualisation process.
