Show HN: Perform visual data analysis using only natural language

Hey all,

We’re excited to release AutoPlot, a tool we built to tackle the question: what if you could do any data analysis by just speaking in natural language?

No confusing scripts, Excel macros, or Matplotlib incantations.

AutoPlot allows you to explore the limits of next generation human interfaces for visually understanding data.

Here's how it works: we've provided a few datasets you can analyze out-of-the-box such as Wine, Hurricanes, and Titanic. Select one of the datasets to see a preview of its contents including its schema. When you are ready to do some visual analysis, simply provide a natural language description of what you want AutoPlot to do.

You can also upload your own datasets to try doing custom analysis.

As an example, let's say you are looking to analyze the Wine dataset.

You could ask AutoPlot:

Create a scatter plot with the alcohol content and magnesium content. Color the circles red with the darkness set by the hue column. Add axis labels.

There's a whole lot more you can do here, so let your imagination roam free!

As this is an experimental platform, expect some rough patches here and there .

We look forward to hearing your questions/feedback.

Have fun!
