Highcharts GPT
Highcharts GPT is a part of the bigger package (tool) Highcharts, which makes it easy for developers to create charts and dashboards for web and mobile platforms. It is not really a tool for the general public, but it does work with all the popular programming languages and frameworks — including Javascript, Angular, React, VueJS, iOS, R, .NET, Python, and more.
Highcharts GPT on its end is made to make life easier for Highcharts users, allowing them to create reliable and secure data visualizations in seconds of different chart types such as line, bar, pie, and more with natural language inputs using human-like conversations.
For instance, it can handle inputs like “Create a donut chart of the world’s top 5 car manufacturers,” “Show me how to load data dynamically,” “Create a pie, line and column chart,” “Create a stock chart that compares 3 series over 10 years,” “Create a Choropleth map of the United States,” and more.
Highcharts GPT is free to use, but it does require a Highcharts commercial license to publish generated charts.
Highcharts is one of the most popular charting tools, with 80 out of the world’s 100 largest companies using it for their charting. The company’s clients include BBC, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, HSBC, Samsung, Sony, and Thomson Reuters, among others.
