When you ask a question that involves comparisons, breakdowns, trends, or detailed numbers, the assistant can answer with a chart or a table rendered inline in the conversation. Both web and iOS render the same four visualization types.
Types of visualizations
Bar chart
Best for comparing values across categories or time periods. Examples:
- Monthly spending across categories
- Income vs. expenses by month
- Top merchants by amount
Line chart
Best for trends over time. Examples:
- Net worth across months
- Spending trend over the last 6 months
- Income across pay periods
Pie chart
Best for proportions and percentages. The assistant shows up to 8 slices plus an “Other” slice for the rest, so very long-tail breakdowns stay readable. Examples:
- Spending distribution by category
- Income source breakdown
Table
Best for precise numbers laid out for quick scanning. The assistant returns a two-column table where each row pairs a label with a value (typically a currency amount). Examples:
- Top 10 spending categories with exact amounts
- Last three months of grocery totals
- A list of subscriptions with their monthly cost
How visualizations are chosen
The assistant decides for itself whether to answer with a chart, table, or plain text - and which chart type fits. Questions about comparisons, breakdowns, or trends are the most likely to come back with a visual; precise lookups and yes/no questions usually come back as text.
You can hint at a format by including phrases like “show me a chart”, “give me a table”, or “graph”. The assistant takes the hint into account, but it’s not a guarantee - if plain text is a better fit, that’s what you’ll get.
What you can do with a chart or table
- The visualization renders inline below the assistant’s message
- It uses your real account data for the period you asked about
- Ask a follow-up question to dig in - “What’s in the Other slice?”, “Break down January’s bar by merchant”, “Show only the top 5 rows of that table”
The assistant decides on its own whether to answer with a chart, table, or plain text. Wording like “show me a chart” or “give me a table” is a hint, not a guarantee - if a visual didn’t come back, the assistant judged plain text was a better fit for your question.
