Using GenAI Visualization Editor

Visualization Editor is a GenAI feature in Birst that enables users to modify reports with natural language prompts.

Common limitations

These common limitations exist:

  • Unintended actions can be selected unless you specify correct actions.
  • Change color to cool, as the palette matches, changeColorPalette is selected.
  • Change color to yellow, then text_color is selected to change to yellow.
  • Sequential execution of a prompt is currently not available. It will be implemented in a future release.
  • If you provide a prompt, such as upload a chart, for an unsupported action, a similar action can be selected by artificial intelligence (AI), for example, export action.
