Data Story schema

The Data Story schema builds a scroll-driven data explainer from a single prompt. As the reader scrolls, the narrative advances one chart at a time — each step reveals or annotates a figure while the text explains what it means. Ideal for data journalism, reports, and turning a raw dataset into a story anyone can follow.

How to trigger it

Ask for a data story or data explainer in natural language, in any language:

  • “Create a data story on global temperature anomalies since 1950”
  • “Build a scroll-driven explainer of our 2024 sales by region”
  • “Walk readers through these survey results, one chart at a time”
  • “Racconta l’andamento demografico italiano con un grafico alla volta”

What you get

A self-contained HTML page where scroll drives the analysis. The data story includes:

  • A framing opening — the question the data answers and why it matters
  • Chart steps that build the argument one figure at a time — bar charts, line charts, pie charts, comparisons, and diagrams, each annotated as it enters view
  • Map-based views when the data is geographic
  • A closing that states the takeaway the numbers support

Tips for best results

  • Bring your data. Paste a table, attach a file, or describe the figures — the AI will not invent numbers. It uses labelled placeholders until you supply real values.
  • Lead with the takeaway. Tell the AI the conclusion the data supports; it sequences the charts to build toward it.
  • One idea per step. Each scroll step should make a single point — the AI splits dense data across steps rather than crowding one chart.
  • Pick the right chart. Mention whether a comparison, a trend, or a share-of-total matters most, or let the AI choose the chart type per step.
  • Iterate freely. Ask to add a chart, change a chart type, or reorder steps — the AI updates the page in place.
