  • LLM integrations for data visualization in spreadsheet environments
    Patent number: 12321393
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for the integration of spreadsheet environments with an LLM service. In an implementation, an application receives a natural language input from a user associated with visualization of data hosted by the application. The application generates a prompt for a large language model (LLM) service based on the user input and the visualization and submits the prompt to the LLM service. The application receives a reply to the prompt from the LLM service and modifies the visualization based on the reply from the LLM service. In an implementation, the data includes spreadsheet data and the visualization includes a chart. In some implementations, to modify the visualization, the application generates source code based on the reply from the LLM service when the classification of the natural language input is a command.
