Turning answers & Concepts into visuals — charts, infographics, word clouds, mind maps, timelines (Visualize)

You just asked Chief to break down last quarter’s numbers, and you got a clean, accurate answer — a few paragraphs and a table. It’s correct, but you have a board meeting in ten minutes and a wall of text won’t land. With Visualize, you turn that same content into a bar chart in a couple of clicks, then download it straight into your deck. No re-prompting, no copying numbers into a spreadsheet, no design tool. Visualize takes content Chief already has — an answer, a Concept, a File, or text you’ve highlighted — and renders it as a chart, infographic, word cloud, mind map, timeline, or image. The data and wording come from the underlying content, so the visual stays faithful to what Chief actually said.

​

A worked example

Here’s the fastest path from data to a chart, using a File in your Library:

1. Open your Library and select a File that contains comparable numbers — for example a spreadsheet (our ACME demo uses a star dataset).
2. In the selection toolbar, click Visualize 1 File.
3. In the Visualize window, choose select the visuals yourself.
4. Under Charts & Data Visualizations, click Bar Chart.
5. Click Go.

Chief reads the data, builds the chart, and lists it under Created Files in the answer. Click the chart to open it in a panel, where it’s titled and labeled from your data — and where you can download it as a PNG or HTML, or keep it in your Project.

​

What you can create

When you choose select the visuals yourself, the Visualize window groups every option into categories. The two most useful for analysis are:

• Charts & Data Visualizations — Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Infographic, Comparison Table Graphic, Word Cloud.
• Process & Flow Visualizations — Timeline, Flowchart, Step-by-Step Guide, Mind Map.

There are also image categories for when you want a picture rather than a chart: Images & Scenes (Photorealistic Scene, Metaphorical Image, Conceptual Illustration), Content & Media (Blog Post Hero Image, Social Media Post Image, Comic Strip), Design & Product (Product Mockup, Logo/Icon, Architectural Visualization), and Artistic (Character Portrait, Abstract Art).

​

Where the Visualize action lives

You can start Visualize from wherever your content already is:

• On a File — select one or more Files in your Library and click Visualize in the selection toolbar (each File card also has its own Visualize button).
• On an answer — open the response menu under the answer and choose Visualize this answer.
• On a Concept — open the Concept and choose Visualize this Concept.
• On selected text — highlight text inside an answer and choose Visualize from the Do more with this text menu.

​

Choosing your visuals vs. Surprise me

However you open it, the Visualize window opens the same way. You have two routes:

• Surprise me lets Chief pick the most fitting visuals for you — use the Create the N best visuals from this content dropdown to choose how many.
• select the visuals yourself is for when you know exactly what you want — a single Pie Chart, or a Timeline plus a Mind Map together. You can select more than one option at a time.
