📋 Built for clarity

Not just a summary.
A structured
analyst brief.

Every analysis returns the same four sections — each designed to tell you something different about what you're looking at.

1
Headline
The single most important insight — not the most obvious one.
2
Summary
A narrative paragraph that interprets what the data means, not just recites what it shows.
3
Watch Out For
Anomalies, risks, and early warning signs specific to what's on screen.
4
Confidence
A clear signal for how well VizBuddy could read the visual.
Instant analysis for any visual
📊 Analyst Summary
Revenue hit $2.4M — a strong quarter, but rising churn at 4.2% is the number that matters most right now.
Summary
The 12% revenue gain masks a concerning trend: new customers fell 3% while churn ticked up 0.8pts. West region carries 38% of total volume — meaningful concentration risk.
Watch Out For
Retention is trending below the revenue line for the third consecutive month — if this gap widens into Q2, the growth story reverses quickly.

Q1 closed at $2.4M revenue, up 12% quarter-over-quarter, driven primarily by the West region. The headline risk is a churn rate increase of 0.8 points to 4.2% — if this trend continues into Q2, it will offset the revenue gains. New customer acquisition also dipped 3%, which warrants attention before next quarter's review.

👥 For everyone

Built for analysts.
Usable by anyone.

Whether you build visuals or just receive them, VizBuddy meets you where you are.

Data Professional
You already know what good analysis looks like.
VizBuddy delivers it instantly so you spend less time narrating what you see and more time deciding what to do about it. Stop explaining the dashboard. Start driving the conversation.
Non-Technical Professional
You receive dashboards but didn't build them.
VizBuddy tells you what's actually going on — in plain English, every time. No data literacy required. No awkward silence in the meeting while you try to figure out what the chart means.

"I don't need this.
I can just paste a screenshot
into ChatGPT."

Yeah, I did that too. For months. Here's what that actually looks like.

The ChatGPT workflow
  1. Take a screenshot you'll forget to delete later
  2. Open a new tab
  3. Navigate to ChatGPT
  4. Upload the image
  5. Type a prompt
  6. Wait for the response
  7. Parse unstructured output
  8. Realize the prompt was off, try again
  9. Copy what you actually needed
  10. Now figure out how to explain it to someone else
Ten steps. Every single time.
vs
The VizBuddy workflow
  1. Click.
That's the list.

Yes, you can use ChatGPT. For a power user who already has a subscription and knows how to prompt like a boss, the math mostly works out. But one click is a genuinely different experience than ten steps. Friction compounds. Ten steps, ten times a day, is 100 interruptions to your workflow.

📊

VizBuddy was built by Dmitri, just a guy in tech who's worn a lot of hats, and the person behind PlotStack — a newsletter for data and analytics professionals.

I built this because I was tired of that space between "I can see something in this data" and "I can explain what it means." If you've ever stared at a report longer than you needed to, this is for you.

❓ FAQ

Common questions

If you can see it in Chrome, VizBuddy can read even more than dashboards — Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Google Analytics, Metabase, or any webpage with charts and tables. If data is on your screen, one click gets you an analysis.
VizBuddy never stores or transmits your screen content beyond the single AI call needed to generate your analysis. Nothing is logged, saved to a server, or used to train any model. What's on your screen stays between you and the analysis.
No. Install the extension and start using it immediately — no sign-up, no credit card, no onboarding flow. The free tier gives you 5 analyses per day right out of the box.
The short answer: one click vs ten steps, every single time. Beyond the friction, VizBuddy always returns the same structured format — Headline, Summary, Watch Out For, Confidence — so you get consistent analyst-quality output without knowing how to prompt for it. ChatGPT gives you whatever comes back. VizBuddy gives you a brief.
After VizBuddy analyzes a dashboard, Compose This turns that analysis into a ready-to-send message in the tone you choose — Technical, Executive, Plain English, or Slack. One more click and you have something you can paste directly into an email, a report, or a team channel.
Chrome only for now. Firefox and Edge support are on the roadmap. If you're on a browser that isn't Chrome, the best thing to do is join the PlotStack newsletter — that's where updates will land first.

Stop staring.
