Data Formulator by Microsoft Research - Vibe with your data with AI agents, in control

by
Data Formulator is an open source AI-powered tool for analysts to explore and visualize data. Starting with data in almost any format (screenshot, text, csv, or database), users can work with AI agents with a novel blended interface that combines user interface interactions and natural language descriptions to communicate intents, control branching exploration directions, and create reports to share their insights. Data Formulator is a research prototype from Microsoft Research.

Hello! This is the Data Formulator team -- Today we introduce Data Formulator v0.5, aiming to allow you to vibe with data with ease, yet have control over how you explore data. - 📊 Load (almost) any data: load structured data, extract data from screenshots, from messy text blocks, or connect to databases. - 🤖 Explore data with AI agents: * In agent mode, provide a high-level goal and ask agents to explore data for you. To stay in control, directly interact with agents: ask for recommendations or specify chart designs with UI + NL inputs, and AI agents will formulate data to realize your design. * Use data threads to control branching exploration paths: backtrack, branch, or follow up. - ✅ Verify AI generated results: interact with charts and inspect data, formulas, explanations, and code. - 📝 Create reports to share insights: choose charts you want to share, and ask agents to create reports grounded in data formulated throughout exploration. Would like to invite you to give a try, and let us know how it feels like in this agent packed world. :) Data Formulator is an open-sourced project. Join us if you'd like to play with new designs and contribute!
