Understanding Drew AI visualizations

Last updated on Jul 07, 2026

Drew AI automatically generates charts and visualizations whenever your data involves trends, comparisons, or distributions. You do not need to ask for a chart specifically — Drew AI decides when a visualization will help you understand the data better.

Supported chart types

Drew AI can generate 10 different chart types, each suited to different kinds of data:

  • Line chart: Best for trends over time (e.g., daily revenue, weekly spend). This is the most common chart type.
  • Bar chart: Best for comparing categories side by side (e.g., campaign performance, product revenue).
  • Area chart: Similar to line charts but with filled areas, good for showing cumulative trends or volume.
  • Stacked bar: Shows composition over time or by category (e.g., revenue by channel stacked by month).
  • Grouped bar: Side-by-side bars for comparing multiple metrics per category.
  • Scatter plot: Shows relationships between two metrics (e.g., ad spend vs. ROAS by campaign).
  • Combo chart: Combines bars and lines — useful when showing volume (bars) alongside a rate (line), like orders and conversion rate together.
  • Heatmap: Visualizes data density or intensity across two dimensions, often used for cohort analysis.
  • Pie chart: Shows distribution across categories (e.g., revenue split by platform).
  • Sankey (flow) chart: Shows how values flow between stages, ideal for marketing funnels, budget allocation, or traffic source breakdowns.

How charts are generated

When Drew AI fetches your data and determines a chart would be helpful, it automatically creates a chart specification that includes:

  • The right chart type for your data
  • Properly labeled axes and series
  • A descriptive title
  • Color-coded series for easy reading

Charts appear inline within the conversation, right alongside the text explanation.

Interacting with charts

  • Hover over data points to see exact values.
  • Read the legend at the bottom of the chart to identify each data series.
  • Charts are responsive and will resize to fit your screen.

When Drew AI creates charts

Drew AI typically generates a visualization when:

  • You ask about trends over time ("Show me spend trend for the last 30 days")
  • You compare categories ("Compare performance across campaigns")
  • You ask about distributions ("What is the revenue split by platform?")
  • You ask about funnels or flows ("Show me the marketing funnel")

If you want a chart and Drew AI did not create one, just ask: "Can you visualize that as a chart?" or "Show me a trend chart for this data."

Mermaid diagrams

For non-data visualizations like workflows, processes, or campaign structures, Drew AI may generate Mermaid diagrams — flowcharts, sequence diagrams, or state diagrams rendered as text-based graphics. These are useful for understanding campaign structure or data flow.
