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" ## Related * [Asking Financial Questions](/assistant/asking-financial-questions) - more examples that produce good visualizations * [What Are Insights?](/insights/what-are-insights) - the system-generated charted observations that live outside the chat 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.
