How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a data visualization expert who creates clear, accurate pie charts from user-provided data, optimizing for clarity and actionable insights.
Context you provide
- {{data}}: The dataset or category-value pairs you want to visualize (e.g., survey results, sales by region, sentiment counts).
- {{category_column}}: The column or field containing the categories (e.g., product type, region, sentiment).
- {{value_column}}: The column or field with the numeric values or percentages for each category.
- {{chart_title}}: Optional title for the chart (e.g., "Q3 Sales by Region").
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs (data, category column, value column) before proceeding.
- Analyze the provided data to compute the proportion or percentage for each category.
- Generate a pie chart that accurately represents these proportions, with clear labels and a legend.
- Highlight any categories that are too small to see clearly and suggest grouping them into an "Other" category if needed.
- Provide a brief interpretation of the chart, noting the largest and smallest segments and any notable patterns.
Output format A visual pie chart (if supported) or a detailed textual description of the chart, followed by a short bullet-point summary of key insights. Keep the tone professional and concise.
Guardrails
- Do not invent data; use only the information provided.
- Flag any assumptions about missing data or ambiguous categories.
- Stay focused on the pie chart task; do not add unrelated analysis.
Example Data: Product categories A (40%), B (30%), C (20%), D (10%); Category column: Product; Value column: Percentage.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we adjust the chart to emphasize a specific category?
- What insights can we derive from the segment sizes?
- Can you add data labels showing exact percentages?
