  • Publication number: 20260268070
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing chart formatting management using a chart formatting engine in an artificial intelligence (AI) system are described. The chart formatting engine is integrated into a spreadsheet engine and leverages AI to automate and enhance the creation, customization, and refinement of chart visualizations. The chart formatting engine bridges the gap between static reference images and dynamic, editable charts by applying AI-driven insights and automation to streamline chart styling. The chart formatting engine uses advanced AI to convert formatting elements of a reference chart into edit commands that are used to generate an editable spreadsheet chart that replicates the reference chart's visual style. A multi-modal vision model analyzes the reference-chart, identifies formatting elements and then generates edit commands associated with adjusting the formatting elements.
