12 Charts ChatGPT Can Draw

What are they good for?

Last week, OpenAI made many previously paid features free for everyone.

One of those was data analysis (formerly “Code Interpreter”).

This means that—along with some fun use cases (see my deep dive)—ChatGPT can process data to produce all sorts of charts.

How many sorts?

At least 12, as per this article from OpenAI:

1. Line graph

2. Bar chart

3. Pie chart

4. Histogram

5. Scatter plot

6. Box plot (box-and-whisker plot)

7. Heatmap

8. Area chart

9. Radar chart

10. Treemap

11. Bubble charts

12. Waterfall charts

I’ll be honest: A bunch of those didn’t mean anything to me when I started this post. They were uncharted territory if you will.

They may as well have said something silly like “hat graph” or “sunburst chart.”¹

But I figured it’d be a fun and useful exercise to have ChatGPT showcase them using fake data.

Now, armed with visuals, I’m here to walk you through the 12 primary chart types ChatGPT can make and what you might want to use them for.

Let’s get graphing!
