ChartGen Data Analysis
Data analysis skill based on ChartGen API, supporting natural language-based data analysis, interpretation, and visualization.
Overview
This skill enables codeless data analysis through natural language interaction. It supports Text2SQL, Text2Data, and Text2Code analysis. Simply provide Excel/CSV files or JSON data to automatically execute data queries, data interpretation, and data visualization (ChatBI).
The skill will intelligently parse time, metrics, and analytical dimensions through conversational queries, then generate SQL queries for data, create interactive BI charts, structured analysis reports. Optimized for standardized vertical datasets, powered by enterprise-grade analytics engine for reliable results.
API Service: This skill uses the ChartGen API service hosted at chartgen.ai. All data is sent to https://chartgen.ai/api/platform_api/ for processing.
Quick Start
1. Apply for an API Key

- Create a new API and set the credit consumption limit
- Copy the API Key for use
2. Configure Environment Variable
export CHARTGEN_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"3. Run Scripts
# Data Analysis
python scripts/data_analysis.py --query "Calculate total sales by region" --file sales.xlsx
# Data Interpretation
python scripts/data_interpretation.py --query "Analyze sales trends" --file sales.xlsx
# Data Visualization
python scripts/data_visualization.py --query "Draw a bar chart of sales by region" --file sales.xlsxCredit Rules
