Visualize data in a chat

Extension on by default Required

The Generative UI extension renders charts, diagrams, and small interactive views, such as forms and filterable summaries, inside a chat. When a trend, a breakdown, or a flow is easier to see than to read, ask for it and the result appears in the conversation rather than as a separate file.

How it surfaces​

Charts, diagrams, and interactive views render inline in the chat where you asked for them. Each one has an Interactive view header with two actions:

  • Expand opens the view in a larger dialog.
  • Open in tab opens the view in its own tab, so you can keep it open while you work.

Generative UI is required, so it's always on and its toggle in Settings → Extensions is disabled.

How to use it​

Ask for a visualization in a chat and describe what you want to see. For example:

  • "Chart quarterly volume by region from this file."
  • "Draw a flowchart of the token validation path you just described."
  • "Show the monthly numbers in this folder as a line graph."
  • "Give me a filterable summary of these support tickets."

Glean Tau chooses the format that fits the data, such as a chart for quantities, a diagram for a flow or sequence, or an interactive view for data you want to filter or explore.

If you want a file you can share or keep editing instead of an inline chart, ask for an artifact. See Artifacts.
